If there was ever proof that Nintendo were telling the truth somewhat when they said they wanted Wii to appeal to more than just hardcore gamers then this is it..................
The most recent issue of Time magazine has a reporter hands on with Wii, Playing Warioware, Nintendo tennis and Zelda:TP.It seems from the report that all we want from the wand is true, in Zelda:TP the wand is the sword, is the bow and arrow, is the fishing rod, note the word IS. Sweet. Nice to have this confirmed finally.
This week's issue of Time Magazine should actually be one of interest to many gamers, as it will feature an article by Lev Grossman titled "A Game For All Ages". Turns out that Mr. Grossman actually flew to Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto, Japan and got some hands-on time with the Nintendo Wii, which will officially be unveiled to the public this week for E3 2006.
In the article, Grossman talks a bit in detail about the functionality of the Wii controller for the forthcoming GameCube game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. He discusses how the controller can be used for sword fighting, as well as aiming with a bow and arrow and even catching some virtual fish.
But that's not all. Furthermore in the article, Grossman talks about a new WarioWare game coming to the system that has you performing physical functions with the Wii controller to get the mini-tasks done. There's also an unnamed tennis game (Mario Tennis, perhaps?) where the player can use the controller like a racket and swing away at lobs and backhands.
