Would your arms not get tired?

    After watching a couple of vids of people playing the Wii, I was wondering if it would get a bit tiring/annoying after a while all the constant moving? I know a lot of the times a simple flick of the wrist is all thats required, but would even this be too much for those who are used to just slouching in the couch?

    after playing guitar hero for a few hours straight I have to say no, but the controller could weigh a lot so maybe.

    I think its a good thing, stamina could be a factor in whether you beat your mate at tennis/golf/deathmatch FPS.

    As long as it doesn't lead to RSI then i will be happy

    Well if the hype is to be believed you can control most games with slight movements; they don't have to be full blown swings, swipes and throws etc.
    In other words it then comes down to a matter of preference, if you want to jump around and swing the wiimote like it's a sword, or if you want to sit down and relax... from what people are saying it should require no more movement than you'd put into controlling a mouse and keyboard...
    Of course how the controls and responsivness pans out in reality in each game remains to be seen... but don't go by the adverts, the actors there tend to over-do it to make it look like they're having SO MUCH FUNNNN!!!

    Shouldn't really, unless you're going mad with the controller.

    And Vegata, the controller is meant to be lighter than most people expected, so that probably wouldn't be a factor.

    To be fair, there were a load of pins >_>

    But yeh, flicks will do the same thing as swinging your arms around. Also, if a game doesn't use the motion sensor the batteries last 60 hours instead of 30.
