Doesn't really hurt, but I don't like the shape. I love how a few people have modded the controller so that the chord comes out the top (as it should). My main complaint, though, is that there's no way to change the button mapping. A related complaint is that for some unknown reason, the button mapping in Super Mario World is different than the original game! Why on earth would they do that? The new mapping is terrible!


I think that's just that particular game. I agree that there's no challenge to it (aside from some insane levels - have you seen the one with the purple coins?), and I think they essentially should have removed the concept of "lives" in the game entirely. I don't think I ever once ran out of lives, and that's with never even taking the ones Peach mailed me. Between the excessive amount the levels offer you, and the always available 1up under the stairs in the main station, I never needed them.


But TP looks so brown^H^H^H^H^Hreal! I'm one of the minority that loved the hell out of WW, despite its flaws (an eternity spent sailing, and a second act that fizzles). It's one of the best looking games I've ever played. I think you're right in the idea that WW gets a big advantage from cell shading. I think there's a lot of cheating that can be done on the graphics while at the same time there's a lot of cool visuals that can be achieved. I think this story pretty much sums up what I think of the art direction in Twilight Princess.


Um...I'm not sure what you mean... The Wii can understand 4 motion-sensing wiimotes with 4 motion-sensing nunchucks attached to them. Why would drums, two guitars and a mic be too much? I would think they'd be easier for the Wii to handle. Aren't they essentially MIDI controllers?


I can see your point, though sometimes the music of the various Wii channels gets into my head and won't let go.


Weird...I'll make sure I've added you later. Are you sure you provided us with the correct number?


If you haven't, definitely download Lost Winds. It's short but I love it.
