and damn that controller takes some getting used to. Especially, in the driving games, like Excite Truck. I like the fact that all you gotta do is turn the controller and the truck turns. So, the nintendo rep said that you can play Nintendo DS games on the Wii, as well as gamecube games. She also said that you can use the old school nintendo from the first nintendo and play those old school games too. In the Need For Speed Carbon game, you use the controller to controll the cars literally, just like in Excite Truck. That should be really interesting to play, and fun as well. I noticed the graphics weren't all that hot, but I didn't mind cause of the use of the controller. Im sure most of this info is old and shit. oh well, i think it's gonna be a great alternative if you don't want to spend the 600$ on the ps3.JUST MY two cents .
