Well, I finally got my hands on the Wii last friday. Allthough, I had to pull some strings to get into the booth without waiting four hours. I got to play two different games: Wario Ware and Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkachi 2.

 

 The Wario game was just like all the others... Quick 5 second games that you can't seem to break yourself away from.  Now, in the Wii adaptation of this game you are instructed to hold the controller a specific way and perform a certain action in order to complete the level.  In the DS and Cube versions, it was a simple step of pushing buttions or moving the ds stylus. Warioware, if played continuously, seems that it would be a good exercise from doing squats, blanacing a "broom", and even slicing a barrel in half.  This game is a great party game and will keep people entertained for hours.

 

 

The new DBZ game was pretty entertaining.  The controls were mixed between buttion combonations, simple controller motion for punching, and specific hand motions to control your special abilities. One in particular was the good ol "kame hame ha." If you're familiar with the DBZ series you see that when Goku and others perform this move, their hands move a specific way. Well, on the Wii, you have to move your hands the same way!  While it takes some time to get used to the controls, so far, this game is looking to be very promising!
