they mention...

* wii sports used to be mentioned on the package by way of a post-production sticker, and now it is printed on the package, thus "solidifying it as an integral component of the wii package."

* the new, stronger straps & padded rubber controller gloves included with wiimotes, following all of the broken TV's and hearts.

* the minute changes made to the wii menu & channels including the on-screen clock, removal of the ability to listen to mp3's on the photo channel, and sprucing up your list of friends on the message board.

* the growing mass of games that include true online play.

* the inclusion of Neo-Geo games and wiiware to the wii shop channel

* the "everybody votes channel", "check mii out channel", "nintendo channel", and the improvement (and thus, required purchase) of the internet channel

* wii speak and the wii balance board

all the while they give examples of what is in store for the future.

So IGN is giving us a recap of things we already know? Thanks, I guess.

It's a bit of a lame article there's no journalism going on it's basically reporting facts, not asking questions.

Why can't we have a Wii Lounge where we can meet and chat etc. Why is the Wii's online so lame? Why no Wii Demo games?

All that sort of stuff.

wow, they must be really hard up for games in the Wii department to have time to write this. (On the other hand, this was news to me: "The Mii channel hasn't been altered much on the surface, but behind the scenes a few changes have taken place, like the ability to send Mii creations to DS-compatible games. This won't become apparent until next year.")

i am getting less and less to care about the wii editor team, they put little effort into there reviews and rarely reviews that are not wii exclusive games , but they love doing articles that are pointless

well at least it's possitive I guess.

They should've waited for M+ imo though.

* wii speak and the wii balance board

all the while they give examples of what is in store for the future.

So I can't believe IGN likes the Wii.
