also ive heard that some supermarkets have some stock, worth a ring maybe.
My advice - perseverence.
From a game play point of view, I dont really think the novelty will wear off because you physically put so much effort into it rather than just button bashing, it makes the game that much more exciting. For example Zelda: Twilight Princess. By actually doing sword actions to kill a boss, you in turn feel just as tired as Link looks when you've beat the boss.
Also being backwards compatible, you can use the old controllers if you do find that you prefer them and use it to play old classic games such as Mario 64 ect.
The actual console itself if aethestically pleasing, just a small white box in the corner with the occasional glow of the blue led lights. Once all the kinks are worked out, it's going to be even better I love it!
It is a party console though. I'm sure that there will be some killer single player games soon but, at this point, the Wii is about multiplayer motion sensing mini-game japes. We'll see what happens over the next 6-12 months.
I enjoyed Zelda. But that was inspite of the controls, rather than the motion sensing adding much to the game. Aiming the bow etc was a lot faster...but my fucking god, the camera control was horrendous and the the sword fighting more frustrating than immersive. I wish there was a way to use the gamecube controller instead (aside from buying the gamecube version, obviously....)
The Wii is great. But there's no way that it'd be my only console. But it's not intended to be, not for folk like me.
So basically, your mileage may vary.
