I think we need more 2D handheld Metroid action.

Yes, if TP had been designed with the Wii in mind instead of GC. Do you really think they'll actually change the game so much for the Wii version as to include stuff that would take advantage of such potential freedom?

I don't think it matters either way. Sword fighting in Zelda has never been about precise slashes, it's been about positioning yourself and timing your attacks correctly. So either way, you wave the remote to attack instead of pressing A. It's not like you have to perform precise or elaborate gestures to handle a simple slash.

Pixel perfect aiming isn't required; the target is considerably larger than a single pixel.
Making some lock-on-able and some not would be inconsistent, and mess with the player's expectations. And if something is too far away to interact with in any way other than shooting it or playing a song at it, shooting it becomes a considerably more probably solution.
Combat is a more fast-paced and complex action than shooting a thing on the wall to open a door. Under circumstances where you can, you aim manually. During combat, you're focussed on strategy and movement, distracting you from such details as the fact that aiming is happening automatically. That is, manual aiming is not a way to complicate out-of-combat aiming, but rather automatic aiming is a way to make in-combat aiming realistically feasible.

Looking at it is basically the same thing as aiming at it. Either that, or if they made it so you only had to look in its general direction then it would still attract your attention too easily. And either way, if you could lock onto it, you'd realize pretty quickly that shooting it is what you're supposed to do with it. And even regardless, the more you automate stuff like aiming, the closer and closer games come to glorified slide shows.

I don't want to go back to school. I'll get to program a game with a few other guys, but I don't want to deal with any of my non-programming classes. And I don't wanna go back to Washington. It SNOWS there! DX

If they made it lock-on-able it would draw your attention too easily.

Nope, it's playing on the fact that Wii is pronounced just like wie, which means how.

I like how much vertical screen realestate you get. I think that's a better use of the two screens than using the bottom for a useless radar. I dig shmups, so I'm lookin' forward to this.

I like both of those ideas. The first'd be a nice perk for registering stuff, but the second in particular sounds like a cool way to promote funky games with a unique Japanese flavor.
