INSERT WII IMPRESSIONS.  
 
I was very impressed by the Wii, although it must be noted it was not final Wii hardware. In fact, it was probably whatever they used at E3, as Fusion Tours seem to recycle E3 stuff. They have always done so in years past. Anyways, the Wii itself was tiny, and the power button and the part where you insert discs glowed blue, although the blue disc glow seemed to turn off after a while. I can't be positive about how that'll be on the final system. The hardware was very small, and obviously non-final. When they opened up the mystery flap, there was nothing to see. There were no adornments or SD slots, although they did use the inside button to re-sync controlers.  
 
The Wiimote is tiny. Really. It's smaller than your hand, but it fits snuggly and perfectly inside your grip. It feels very very nice, and it's very easy to use the A and B buttons. 1 & 2 are not readily accessible without another hand or holding it sideways, but that's pretty obvious. The +, Home, and - buttons were also very easy to reach, although for these demos all three buttons were non-functional. Go figure. You couldn't pause, change settings, or do anything. And lastly, the d-pad seemed a little out of reach. You really had to change the position of your grip to reach the d-pad. I didn't get *that* much time to just hold it and play with it, so I'm still gonna hold off on that last part until I own one. Again, the Wiimote is tiny... and truly awesome. I didn't get to play Metroid, so I can't comment on the nunchuck. The sensor bar, which was only 6 inches wide and a little but thick, was duct-taped right under the screen.  
 
Wii Sports: I actually didn't get to play this game. The lines were the longest for Wii Sports and Metroid. Metroid was obviously the longest. Because of issues I already stated above, there honestly wasn't enough time to get to Sports or Metroid. But I observed quite a deal. The demo had baseball, golf, tennis, and one other I can't remember. It was old, so it definitely didn't have bowling or anything. Strangely, they ONLY let people play baseball. They claimed because it was two player, but tennis is also obviously two player as well... *sigh* Anyhow, there would be two human beings and two Wiimotes. One would pitch and the other would swing. It seemed fun, but difficult, because the actions on the screen didn't always seem to match up with what the player was trying to do.  
 
Wii Shooting Demo. This demo, which I believe will be part of Wii Play, kicked ass. It was Duck Hunt (although the dog was nowhere to be seen. I thought I saw him in an E3 video, although I could be wrong). Oddly enough, this was a two-player demo at E3, but only one player at the event. *sigh again* Actually, aiming was not perfect. I was expecting to aim it like I would a real life gun. In actuality, it seemed obvious (to me) that it was interacting with the sensor bar, not the screen. Therefore, aiming was not natural. This was an old demo, so I'm not sure if they're improved the control or IR or whatever, but it wasn't spot-on. Even so, it's still revolutionary that, despite the inaccuracy, it was fun as hell. It started off with targets appearing. There were red, gold, and people targets. Targets were worth 3 (I think), gold were worth 10, and people subtracted 3 points. They there were some balloons. Some duck hunt ducks occasionally flew by. There were also cans to shoot. The final part was hard, as there were fast-moving UFO's trying to abduct people on the ground. Shoot the UFO's and save the people. Simple and fun. In the end, I got 3rd place. I was pretty proud, because it was pretty late in the night, and it was clear there were a lot of really good gamers around. Oh yeah, I have to mention that I held it with two hands, and used the wrist strap to steady my aim. By the end of the demo, my arms were tired, but I actually see that as a plus, not a minus. You SHOULD be tired after some rigorous gaming.  
 
Excite Truck. Despite the name, and the lack of interest (that I even witness on these boards), this game KICKS ASS. It is fast paced and incredibly fun. It's just amazing and natural to use the Wiimote as a steering wheel. 2 was accelerate, 1 was break, and pressing the d-pad would boost. It was phenominal. However, the sensitivity seemed pretty low (either that or the controls are a little to loose and floaty). What I mean is, that even though it was great fun, accurate steering was very difficult. Perhaps it was the car I chose, or the controller sensitivity was too low for me. That, or the controls need some tightening. But despite these flaws, it blew me away. A definite must-buy, just like Wiishooting, even if it isn't 100% in-line with what you're trying to do in real life.  
 
Wario Ware Touched! is one of my favorite DS games. The strange art style and random, non-sensical, hilarious action just makes this game... magical somehow. The Wii game was no different. It had a lot of mini-games (although the pace was very slow, probably to make it an easy demo) and they were all fun. Let me list the ones that were there. There was one where you balanced a broom on your hand. One where you picked your nose. One where you drank something. One where you drew a picture. One where you fished in Animal Crossing, one where you tried to move a small metal ball inside a hole. There was a game where you lifted weights, did squat thrusts, hoola-hooped, jump roped, sumo wrestled... and more! The final "Boss" level was called "Chauffeur." Basically, your drove a car down a winding road, with cows and other things getting in the way. In controlled just like Excite Truck, where you use the Wiimote as a steering wheel. All in all, a fantastic game, which will hopefully be more difficult and faster paced.  
 
Metroid... The line was so long, that I didn't get a chance to play. But it was obvious what was there. It was the old E3 demo with 3 levels (planet, space station, Ridley Boss Battle). Since you couldn't even pause or adjust settings, people were stuck with the Type I controls, which are very sluggish and terrible. You can't turn around worth crap. Type III controls didn't even exist at E3. I really wish that they had adjustable controls. People seems to be able to aim pretty well, although they seemed ignorant in terms of locking onto targets. They also seemed to suck at using the nunchuck to open doors or use the grappling hook. This was because they sucked, not because Metroid did. Americans are so damned afraid of embarassment that they do everything they possibly can to avoid such situations. They don't use any extreme motions, and always seem unsure of themselves. I wasn't that way, as I'm a dedicated gamer. I was the only one who, when playing Wario Ware, actually put the controller at my waist and hoola-hooped. I also actually did the squat thrusts, etc. It just makes Wario Ware more fun.  
 
...
 
Overall, it was disappointing because of bad music, a bad set-up, ignorant event employees, really old demos of only five games... The demo's were far too easy (which I can understand), etc. Seriously, I could go on. There should've been far more kiosks and far more games. I can understand hiding Mario and Zelda if they're going under significant changed, but there are so many other games that could have been showcased, even just different kiosks for Tennis, Golf, and the other Wii Sports and Wii play games.  
 
But, even despite the bad Fusion Tour, I'm no less hyped for the Nintendo Wii. I can understand how the Tour could leave a bad taste in some gamer's mouths, but please realize that it's the SHOW that is bad, not the Wii. And they were using really outdated demo's and non-final Wii's. Bad show, disappointing old demos, but the Wii, in November, will still kick more ass than ever.  
 
If you have any additional questions, please ask away. I'll try to respond quickly, although I have to go to work fairly soon.  
 
P.S.:
