No it hasn't worn off yet. I play Wii Sports standing up, so my friends and our arms get really tired from Boxing after we had one too many beers and take it super serious. I play Zelda sitting down though.

Not yet but I beat all the games I have for the Wii and right now I'm playing GCN games right now because I don't have money to buy new games, and I don't stand for my Games except sometimes but I stand when I'm at a tough spot in a game on any console I feel it makes me play better, but I usually sit down and when I play Zelda I lay down to play it, Wii sports I sit down, other games I sit down aswell.

You've never played the Wii before have you?  I only ask because of the ignorance in your question.

Fad?

I don't usually stand when playing games, unless it's something like Wii Sports.I'm having fun playing Sonic right now.

But it feels like something is missing when I go back to using a PS2 or GC controller. I kinda miss the motion sensing. :(

I'm loving my Wii.

Apart from Warioware and a couple of the games on Wii Sports, I play everything comfortably seated on my couch.  Right now I'm mostly playing CoD3 and Super Monkey Ball.  The Wii is proving to be a great console for me, it has been keeping me entertained nicely. :)

ive played a lot of wii games(just sold excitetruck and beat/sold zelda)
the only games i recall standing for is wii sports
i'd say.. not a lot of games out now are using gestures, so it's kind of hard to say if motion is 'wearing thin' considering it's hardly been taken advantage of yet... theres wii sports which is more of a 1:1 demo... and wario....
it's like asking... is the bluray disk size advantage wearing thin yet?

i still stand to play wii sports. which is a several times a week with my gf also. i just rented redsteel and to my surprise it's not as bad as i was expecting. the gun controls felt good to me. too bad if has game bugs, bad graphics and a b-movie plot. the wiimote is what makes the game fun. so no, it's not a fad.

1. I never have to swing my limbs around, only my wrist. nub 2. I only stand if I want to, but easily I can sit down. Anywho, has the "gimmick" wore off? Not necessarily, it's like implying the analog stick wore off. I love motion sensing, as for titles though. Only Twilight Princess I have and really care for. But Virtual Console, now that's great. If you missed out on a lot of titles or really would like to get back old games you enjoyed,VC should occupy you most of the time. It really is the saving grace for the Wii.

No, I still want to play through TP again.
I never swing anything, I just use small wrist movements [except in bowling in Wiisports].
I never stand unless I am playing Bowling in Wiisports.
The feeling after the initial impression is great... if you have money to afford new games, or have rich friends to mooch off.

Your post is confusing...

it's because you called it a fad, which is already suggesting that it will only last a brief period of time. words say a lot. choose them more wisely.

Nah, the appearance of the boards just subliminally scrambles the section of your brain that deals with spelling and grammer. Fortunately I'm immune.

I seriously can't stand it when they try to flame with spelling like that.

There was a period when I played all the games I thought were worth it and I was scared the experience would fade until some notable games came up. Then I found need for speed carbon. It's not the best game, but I never had steering wheels for racing games before, and in that game you hold the wiimote like a steering wheel. So that game is eating up some time now-- definitely different experience for me. All I'm saying is that there are a lot of no name titles that are at least worth a rent. ----red steel, excite truck, monkey ball (I really like this one) come to mind. Stay away from COD, splinter cell, and far cry.

Not really, i just haven't bought any new games, and since i cant get my damned wi-fi usb connector to work again, i cant download any new vc games -.-. Once some better titles come out, ill definitely buy it. Though I definitely enjoy playing wii sports.

The concept is easy to get used to once you've played for a while. Sometimes you stop thinking about it alltogether.

You've never played the Wii before have you? I only ask because of the ignorance in your question.

Wow that's an incompetent statement. I played my friend's wii for an hour and a half and went from this is awesome after 5 minutes to this is the lamest thing ever in an hour and a half. I played TP and wii sports...it just goes to show it's not for everyone. I thought it was quite gimmicky and not that fun. Repetitious at best. But to say someone hasn't played just because they say it gets old...thats pathetic.

You didn't play Wario Ware or BEAT TP, thus you can not form an opinion about the Wii.

Half/Half for me. Sonic and Warioware are amazingly fun to me and Wii Sports is still one of the best Wii games despite its simplicity. But at the same time, the initial rush of motion sensing is wearing off for me, now it's just becoming another integral part of gameplay. Kinda like the graphical update of the Xbox to the 360 or the touch screen on the DS. It still "wows" me, but now it's just another part of the console that makes it great.

I haven't played my Wii in days. Know why? BECAUSE I WAS A RETARD AND LEFT BOTH MY WIIMOTES AT COLLEGE WHEN I CAME UP FOR SPRING BREAK!!! *smacks self on the forehead* ... I wanna play WarioWare... *sob*Hoffgod

I feel sorry for you....I have spring break next week.  Hopefully I don't make a mistake like that:P  I've had tard attacks before.  To answer the presented topic...not at all.  I play Wii for about 2 hours a day, mainly because I have been busy as heck lately.  SSX Blur takes up 90% of my free time!

It still makes games a lot more fun, but it isn't as incredible as when I first got the Wii.  I still stand up while playing Monkey Ball and Wii Sports but I don't for the rest (although that was true even when I first got the Wii)

from the begining I never stood up to play a game, except for Wii Sports.... and sometimes when I get excited during SSX. But no. You get used to the remote, but thats supposed to happen...
