Anyone know if Nintendo has a "Wii Kiosk Locater" on their website? I took a quick look and didn't see one.

Excite Truck makes sense because it doesn't encourage swinging the remote in a small store, and doesn't have to rely on the "sensor bar".  With the sensor bar you have more potential issues: The IR becoming blocked, other IR devices causing interference,  not being at an adequate distance from the IR bar, etc.

WiiSports doesn't rely on the sensor bar, from what I've read..

Correct, because it doesn't rely on pointing at the screen...

Sadly, "skeet shooting" wasn't one of the sports featured in Wii Sports.

For kiosks, I've heard middle of next week.

Demoing Wii Sports would not be a good idea.  Wii will sell out at launch.  Everyone at launch is going to get a copy of Wii Sports, like it or not.  So it makes sense to demo a different game.

Yes, I realize that. That's why I first mentioned swinging around the controller.  The pointer comment was just a reason they'd have ET instead of Zelda, or any other pointer game.
