some. Specifically, big tough marine guy with gun game #64, half-naked kung fu chicks game #42, and ultra-cool designer racing game #112. These experiences can be
yours for the low, low price of $2000, when you include the price of the television you'll need to buy to accomodate these amazing advances in entertainment. But you're right - the Wii's biggest problem right now
is gimmicky motion controls, conceived by developers who either shit out a port or a spin-off of an established title and load it up with minigames. It's the games that include movement that genuinely enhances gameplay as opposed to replacing button presses - such as Wii Sports, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Resident Evil 4, Bust-A-Move Bash, Kororinpa, et al, and fresh experiences like those are what most people like about the Wii.
But about the topic, I've gotten a shit-ton of mileage out of the Virtual Console and Internet Channel, and WiiWare is a natural progression of the work that Steam started and is ultimately where game distribution is going anyway, while HD-DVD and Blu-ray fight their ironic format war over who gets to dominate their irrelevant market.
