In today’s Georgia Straight, my take on Nintendo’s Wii video-game console, which is fine for what it is, but a revamped controller is only that. Let’s see what the game developers can do with it.

I just wish that Nintendo had let the Wii incubate in the design stage a little bit longer. The cabling alone makes the Wii like what the original DS was. I’d rather have the DS Lite.

Also in today’s issue, my take on two of the Wii launch titles: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Excite Truck.
