Look under number 8.
Ya....WTF, right?
I guess we can jump for joy that's it's coming, but I don't see why Nintendo would simply slip StarFox through as if it wasn't important. Starfox could definitely be a killer-app, so what gives?
I'm happy, but I'm pissed off as well

I would absolutely love to see Four swords or something like that for the Wii. There's something that just right with Coop Zelda gameplay (MM had it in the form of you and an NPC -- ).

StarFox has enormous potential on the Wii. We've all talked about it. We all know why it would be great. Now, I just want to see it.
Also, Manditor. An Angle game would be sweet.

Well with that logic no sports games ever should be made.
What the hell is frisbee golf anyway? Aside from being mentioned on Seinfeld I've know nothing about it.
A Zelda fighting game is the sort of typical fanboy suggestion I'd expect. Some fans really obviously have no idea what makes their favourite franchise so good and as a result think of the STUPIDEST ideas.

Anyway, I'm sure we will see StarFox, probably either Christmas 2007 or first-half 2008, I'm betting.

It's basically what it sounds like.

Basically there are 18 baskets placed around the park and you have a couple different types of discs that you throw from the tee and try to get into the basic (usually Par is 3).
It can be quite fun and is much more difficult than you can imagine. Its great excercise, and a if you enjoy walking its something to do while you are walking.
To play all you really need is a driver disc and an all purpose disc.
I don't think his would make a good game though, because you can't design the game to be able to feel anything like the game. Most of disc golf's enjoyment comes from figuring out how to navigate around trees and bushes. Trying to aim and play in a 3D space on a flatscreen would lose much in translation.
Now back to Starfox. I think there would be a simple and invigorating joy of just moving the Wiimote to steer your ship in Starfox. Your team mates banter can come through the Wiimote to feel closer to you. And if there is a microphone you can give commands to your teammates on the fly.
Just imagine that flight game demo with 100s of enemy space ships attacking you and you can probably see the potential of this game.

If it controlled like the WiiPlane demo, I think that would suck. How you could fire if you hold the controller like that? I think it would be best to simply hold the controller with your thumb on "A" and your finger on "B". You would move about the screen by moving your arm within an imaginary square and to turn your plane vertical, you would simply rotate your wrist. The pointer funtion would control where you aim.

Ian, Frisbee Golf is like normal golf in lots of ways. You start somewhere far away from your goal (a metal "cage"-type apparatus with a bin you try to throw into), then have to navigate using your 3 or more discs (drivers, mid-range discs, putters, etc.) to the goal in the least amount of throws. There are all sorts of discs besides just the driver/putter/etc... some curve right, some left, some fly straighter – it's all about getting where you need to get in the most efficient way. The course I know best (in Lincoln, NE) has everything from long, meandering fairways, to hilly/steep terrain, and even some unique obstacles like foresty areas and creeks to cross to spice things up. It's really fun, and a great excuse to go walking around a grassy, foresty park for a couple hours on a hot summer day.
Conclusion: Frisbee Golf game for Wii featuring Ultimate and online competition =
(the only thing I would worry about would be "throwing" too hard with the Wiimote, and accidentally flinging the controller at the TV)
EDIT: Oops, like 4 other people already explained frisbee golf
