-component output cable (so the games don't look less vivid or less sharp than my GameCube's)
-multiple controllers
-good multiplayer games
Now, what I want to know is, when will the component output cable be available, and what multiplayer games sound good? (I don't like sports games so Madden isn't even a choice on my radar.) With WarioWare: Smooth moves not coming out for launch, what am I supposed to do, other than have people watch me play Zelda or make Miis out of them? >_<
I know there's Wii Sports, but the Nintendo-haters may want something with nicer graphics too. Then again WarioWare doesn't need ubergraphics and is tons of fun, so maybe Wii Sports will be enjoyable enough for them. As I said, I usually don't like sports, so it'd still be nice if there was something else anyway for multiplayer action on the first day.

Edit: a couple other good games off the top of my head would be RedSteel (c'mon, thats gotta have some kind of multiplayer mode, ala goldeneye), and Rayman.

How to shoot Wii to Nintendo-haters on Day One?
I thought that was the topic when I first read it. I need sleep.
Potato gun with a modified nozzle to accept the Wii for shooting

Or maybe they did consider that...Nintendo would probably make more money selling another cable. >_<

Since there is only one A/V output on Wii, it needs a cable that outputs both audio and video, and the GCN cable only outputs the video.
Which sorta sucks. Will have to pick up another cable asap.

If you show them Red Steel or Call of Duty 3, sure they'll see the new way to control games, but will they complain about not having bleeding edge graphics or not having online play, or b!tch about split screen?
If you show them Excite Truck, sure that's neat and all, but will its simple concept be enough to convince a hostile audience?
If you show them Rayman, they may forgo the rumor to b!tch about how it's all simple humor-based minigames, not a hardcore platformer.
I'm personally leaning towards Wii Sports because it's no nonsense. It's meant to be simple and pure concept. Then when they complain about its graphics or wanting more levels of Boxing, you can say that some company will probably just take Wii Sports and make it look like Final Night once they have more time, but for a free game that came with the system at launch it would be reasonable to expect simpler style. This way, you'd have insinuated that the gameplay will be more traditional hardcore graphics-loving later on, but by that you imply that they're already hooked by the gameplay even without all that shimmering glaze.

Wow, I've seen more recommendations in this topic for Excite Truck than anywhere else, ever

Shove a Wii-mote up their ass and say, "Dance, b!tch."
Seriously, though ... I think Wii Sports is all it'll take, and perhaps Madden.

Just look at all the multiplayer driven games that are in the pipeline. BWii, Mario Strikers, potential Mario Kart, Smash Bros Brawl, etc. I think the Wii Generation will be the Multiplayer generation, i know i won't be spending so much time playing single player.

$510.00 Estimated.
Xbox 360 + Four Wireless Controllers (Premium Package)
$550.00 Estimated
Playstation 3 + Four Controllers
$650.00 or $750.00
I think the Wii has a much better price point for multiplayer gaming. And you can even drop the price by $80.00 by not getting the classic Controllers.

I'm not saying graphics are bad but some of the character models make the game look like one of those arcade shooters (Area 51). Granted I haven't played the game myself, there still hasn't been a hands on preview that has not said "controls need a little work". The gameplay, whether swordplay or multiplay hasn't been talked about much. Multiplay was announced recently which makes me assume it is tacked on, which would be sad...
I have high hopes though, which probably will doom this game.

The latest word on the street is that Red Steel's been vastly improved since the last time anybody's seen it. Graphics, controls, etc. At least NintendoWiiFanboy.com, GoNintendo.com, and other places are saying so. Is it more than wishful thinking? I would think that if it is improved, we should see something of it soon - no point not showing off how good it really is, if it is better now.

Response to a possible Wii launch party at my place is abysmal, and the answers that I did receive were not very enthusiastic. (And this is even after showing people the first Wii Experience video with the hot girl!)
There are still doubters. There are still people who don't get it. And apparently they don't even want to make time to give it a try.
What is wrong with them? What should wow the PlayStation fanboys?

) I find just getting people together is a huge chore nowdays, my friends are all getting married and becoming domesticated. Blah. Edit: but my point was, getting people together should be first priority, with Wii as the centrepiece for the get-together? Maybe?

I mean, geez, I'd go to a PS3 party to try it out 'cause I sure don't think I want to buy my own one anytime soon. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to play games on someone else's PS3 if they offered an opportunity to do so. I'm not a snob...like they seem to be. >_<
