Trying the most awesome interactive interface for gaming ever made. The Wii Board is amazing. I tried the Wii the first time in May 2006, 6 months before it was released at the E3 in Los Angeles. I knew immediately that the Wii was the most awesome gaming console ever made. Now the Wii Board provides even more amazing interactivity that requires you to put your whole body into work and have complete control over your balance.

Students at the Potsdam university are programming software to use with the Wiimote, no Wii required, just buy a set of the Wiimote with the Wii nunchuck and install their bluetooth software on your PC or Mac and you can get to do all kinds of interesting things. In this example you can use the Wiimote as a drumkit.

The Wii will be backwards compatible with all previous Nintendo consoles. One will possibly be able to log online to buy old NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games as downloads. Possibly one will be able to connect an external usb2 harddrive to the Wii to thus have external storage space for the Wii to be able to download big N64, GameCube and Wii games on-demand directly from Nintendo online, thus saving money on useless resellers and other businesses that make games retail prices so high.

This is a fun game where you hold the Wii controller as you would hold a paper airplane and you are thus controlling it around in this Pilotwings-like environment. The controller feels just perfectly precise and usefull in this game, thus proving that the controller really works well.

Some profetionnal drummers were hired to play some drums the whole day using the Wii Drums game and a Wii controller in each hand.. It seems to kind of work, but there might be some very slight delay or some other way of synchronizing the sounds that made it sometimes sound a bit unnatural. Watch the video and judge for yourself. I would else think that this kind of game would be simply awesome. Imagine mixing this with Wii Orchestra, Wii keyboard, Wii guitar and more instruments, and imagine if you could create extremely original music this way..

This is another action packed first person shooter game for the Wii, though this game was even more difficult for me to adjust to with the Wii controller.
