TIME magazine have a very interesting article on the Wii, as one of their writers gets a look at a new Wario Ware title for the console and more!
Ah, to be a fully-fledged journalist and to be walked through some Wii titles by Shigeru Miyamoto like TIME's lucky journalist who got a tour of the upcoming wonder machine. Among other things, he played a Wario Ware title for the console (which is as yet unnanounced), Twilight Princess and a new Tennis game for the console (again, unnanounced).
Speaking about the new Wii Wario Ware demo: "In one hot minute, I use the controller to swat a fly, do squat-thrusts as a weight lifter, turn a key in a lock, catch a fish, drive a car, sauté some vegetables, balance a broom on my outstretched hand, color in a circle and fence with a foil. And yes, dance the hula."
And speaking about the new Tennis demo game: "The controller becomes a racket, and I'm smacking forehands and stroking backhands. The sensors are fine enough that you can scoop under the ball to lob it, or slice it for spin. At the end, I don't so much put the controller down as have it pried from my hands."
