Was one of the winners for the contest and I've been enjoying it...but I definitely agree with the comment about erratic controls. Using the attack function can be plain painful. =/
I can't think of much that this would be useful for...and outside of the obvious things like an exercise tool, other ENTERTAINMENT ideas like using it to gauge how "scary" a game should be (Think of L4D's Director with a new input device) might actually be hindered because you'd be wearing such a strange device on your hand.
Rhymes with tap? Well, the first word that came to mind wasn't "Crap". D:
Had a feeling this was going to be a dud... but watching that guy slam the crap out of the toy the LAST time you guys reported this was amusing enough.
Stuff like this worries me. If we keep seeing releases like this, how will Nintendo hold up in the future of downloadable content? From what I've been hearing, they're likely going to expand on it... But they need to see some changes in the quality control department.
I could write an essay on things that need to be improved to make Wii online play worthwhile (Outside of select games), but the two that really hit home and summarize my feelings on the matter are: !) Ditch the friend codes 2) 360 party chat equivalent (Which includes the ability to see when friend are online and when they come online)
I know some people who use their 360 as a form of social networking, as sad as it is...But it does credit for the system of how well it allows people to communicate. If nintendo wants to step up their online game, these are the first two HUGE steps forward.
A poll like this is likely to change results depending on the current atmosphere of the video game world. People are still enthralled in MW2 and are even more eagerly anticipating Halo: Reach, which easily, in my opinion, explain slots 1 and 2. Nintendo is a little behind on their hype machine, but by E3, hopefully we'll have a little more to be pumped for.
The article says it'll release in Japan in the fall... so yeah, it will be shipping in the next few months. I wouldn't expect to see them in ..."Not-Japan" for at least another year, though.
What was so bad about the safari zone? In HGSS the safari zone is completely optional. The only games you're required to go through the safari zone is in Gen. I.

Re: These Gaming Figures are Great, But There's a Catch
Wonder what the size of the Rathalos model is... Bet I could sneak him into my 40k army as a Chaos Demon Lord if I could fit him on a base

Re: Iwata: Blame Poor Games Not Poor Economy for Sales Decrease
At least he's honest and not trying to hide the truth. Also, this sounds a lot like a similar article I read not too long ago...
Re: Nintendo Considering Online Play and DLC for Future Zeldas
Four Swords with online play and Wii Speak would be amazing... or better yet, just throw Four Swords on the 3ds and allow for a focus on Wifi.
It would be splendid. Been waiting for something like that since Four Swords GCN.
Re: Murder, Death, Kill Again as MDK2 Comes to WiiWare
...Bioware? I ran through a list of releases by them not too long ago but I must have missed this one.
Re: You Can Play the Tron Wii Game with this Tron Wii Controller
That is a sick wiimote. Probably the coolest retail wiimote around.

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs
How are the ranger games? I've never had any interest in them, but this one looks kind of neat.
Re: E3 2010: Metroid: Other M Trailer
Looks damn nice, but I'm still somewhat worried about the FPS combat in this game based on some comments I read.
Re: E3 2010: Okamiden Trailer
I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS GAME
Do want.
So want.

Re: E3 2010: Super Scribblenauts Trailer
Will buy just because of the gentlemanly red raptor. RAWR
Re: Okamiden
This game had better sell. Okami deserved (and still does) to ship more units.
EVERYONE BUY THIS SO THERE'S A THIRD GAME.

Re: Sims 3 for Wii Goes Multiplayer, Loses Construction Mode
Construction mode was always more than 50% of the game for me. Not gonna fly for me.
Re: Official Dive: The Medes Islands Secret Gameplay Video
Looks good :]

Loved this game to death. Can't wait for the retro review :]
Re: Free Photo Dojo is Nintendo's Way of Saying It Loves You
Played this with my younger brothers in the airport and holy crap was this amusing. This is definitely a group activity.
Re: Hey WiiWare, Enjoy Your Massage
Lol @ the "WTF" tag.
Re: Mario Golf
I was obsessed with this game. My crowning moment was the one time I got an albatross (3 shots below par...AKA double eagle) playing against mario.
I WAS SO PROUD. Hole in one is nothing compared to that.

@Prosody
Thanks for feeding into my laziness!
Re: Kapow! New Batman Trailer is Both Brave and Bold
Youtube took the video down and I'm too lazy to find the other one.

@Raylax
How about a sensor bar?
Re: NHL Slapshot Includes Wii's First Dinky Hockey Stick
The wii and tv aren't plugged into anything...at all.
Re: Jet Force Gemini
I played this game to 100% completion. This game was amazing and I'd love to see it hit VC.
Re: New Sonic 4 Trailer Almost Makes Up for Delay
Looks promising. First time I've said that regarding a sonic game in...years.
Re: Complete Your Living Room: My Fireplace Stoking up WiiWare
Dude, why spend points on this when you can just load up the screenshot on this site?
Sure seems like you should be charging people to read this article with the picture enabled.
Re: Soon You May Be Able to Enter the MegaMan Universe
I hope it plays like Legends, but I can't see any megaman game working in an MMO formula...
Re: This is the Greatest Wii Controller You'll See Today
Even if picture are worth a thousand words- this one left me speechless.

Re: E3 Promises Over 30 Nintendo Titles
All I care for are Zelda and Golden Sun tidbits.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Lands with Bonus DVD
I'm going to have to watch this DVD on my 360. XD
Re: Review: Don't Feed the Animals (DSiWare)
I always enjoy how blunt the low reviews are.
Re: Jett Rocket Trailer Melts Your Face with Graphical Afterburners
Unrelated note:
The main char, at least from behind, makes me think of Claus.
Re: Review: AlphaBounce (DSiWare)
This review sold it for me.
Good game, will be my replacement for Tetris in the bathroom or sitting in a waiting room.

Re: New Super Mario Galaxy 2 Trailer
I like that Yoshi is, seemingly, playing a larger role in this game.
I loves me some Yoshi.
Re: Review: Perfect Dark (Game Boy Color)
My cousin had this game... we took turns playing it for a bit before realizing... Hey, the N64 still works. Why not have fun? Haha.
In all seriousness, though... JUST FINISHED DLING PERFECT DARK FOR XBOX OMG
