Was this during the 3 months I was off the board or something? This is the only place I get my gaming news.
I suppose I will look around at PS2 stuff, though.
There are maybe 3 Wii games I ever play out of the 10-12 or so I have (I got 7 of these games for the price of 3 before I even had the system, including a basically free Galaxy), and not one I've bought since getting the system.
I think 4 or 5 of them are still in their original wrapping because I never even bothered to open them either. (Nether has anyone else, for that matter). The Wiimote makes every game I've played with it unplayable or barely playable, so I saw no sense in opening more of them and decided to preserve their value.
I probably should've ebayed this crap a while ago though, and I missed the best time to do it.. Such a waste of money I can't afford to waste again.
Give me a true controller and make most games not dependent on gimmicks, and we'll talk. I put more Gamecube games into my Wii than anything else, and the only two Wii games I've ever used with any sort of consistency are Brawl and Kart, both of which can use a real controller.
So yeah I'm predisposed to hate it due to wasting several hundred on the original Wii.
Assuming it was the last three months, yes, Iwata was super straight and said they were doing redesigns, pics were posted, the whole nine yards. Even if you don't believe the word of mouth about how it was super comfortable (I've spoken with several people who got to try out the controller, and they told me it was great, so it isn't exactly hazy rumors), that it's getting redesigned is a fact.
