Richrach, Its seems like Nintendo is trying to make us buy new controllers for every game because, well, they are. They have yet to hit the ceiling on the kind of revenue they can generate with the Wii. If you would have told me 5 years ago that a "fitness" game costing $165 would be a smash hit and sell out every where you go, I would have laughed in your face. But hey, that's the niche that Nintendo found...and they won't stop digging until there's nothing more to be squeezed out of you and me and everyone else. With that said...I frickin' love my Wii.
