Maybe it's because we're all used to holding remote controls at this point - but the hand cramps that can accompany traditional controllers aren't an issue with the 'Wiimote'. And since you'll be holding and waving this thing for potentially long periods, it's particularly welcome. quote

Nintendo has experimented with different controllers in the past. Anyone remember the Power Glove or Virtual Boy? This time however, the company's efforts seem to have produced a winner.

It doesn't quite replace the beloved mouse-and-keyboard combination for FPS games, but--after getting acclimated to it--we found it worked better than traditional console controllers.

If this had a mic, I think this would have been a very cool controller. Also if it had a memory unit to bring to friends rather than SD card, then this really would be the best. This item can only store Mii's.
