Wii Fusion Tour: What the younglings think…

The good folks at Aeropause asked several young gamers from the Wii Fusion Tour about what they think of the Wii. As always, reactions towards the Wii were mixed. Just to get it out of the way, no, the kid in the leftmost pic is not high on anything.

One young gamer notes that the Wiimote feels quite natural and intuitive. Despite the console’s goofy name, he thinks that the Wii will win gamers’ hearts.

Others found the Wiimote a bit too unresponsive and unnatural. It’s not that their reflexes are more adapted to fast button inputs on your standard controller, it’s just that some games like Excite Truck and Wii Sports Boxing make poor use of the Wiimote. According to them games like Metroid and Wario Ware controlled better. They warn that if game developers don’t iron out those control glitches, it could prove fatal to the console that is dependent on its interface and not on its power.

Despite several control issues, user reaction towards the Wii confirms what Nintendo has been marketing for quite some time. Wii’s about the fun of it all. Perhaps Wii isn’t a weird Nintendo wordplay on “we,” but a goofy engrish wordplay on “whee.”
