Metroid on Wii rocks and shows that if developers put the effort in the wiimote is far and away better for first person shooters.
The trailer for the new metroid (Metroid other M) looks amazing you should check it out but im sure you already have.
Of course I've already checked it out. It looks amazing like you said.
EDIT: Just to say to anyone who played Punch Out, or Super Punch Out back in the day, Punch Out on the Wii is an essential purchase. Just got it today and it's all the fun of the old ones but with a far more modern presentation.

If it was packaged up and was obviously a bit more polished and less franken-control looking AND marketted by not this guy, it could do well as a preipheral.

Activision CEO calls for PS3 price cut
by David Carnoy
Apparently, it's not just CNET readers but game developers who are among those demanding Sony cut the price of the $400 PS3. In an interview with the London Times, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has some strong advice for Sony and threatened to pull its support for the console.
"They have to cut the price, because if they don't, the attach rates (the number of games each console owner buys) are likely to slow," Kotick said. "If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony." As for the timing on that, he adds: "When we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console--and the PSP (portable) too."
For its part, Sony, which is mired in third place behind Nintendo and Microsoft in the next-gen game-console wars, keeps saying it won't be pressured into trimming the price of the PS3. But with industry heavyweights like Activision making these types of remarks, it's becoming more and more clear that the pressure is indeed on.
Should Sony hurry up and wilt under the heat? Or should it stick to its game plan, whatever it is?
Re: The Video Game Console Thread
Sony thinks PS3 will be the long-term console when Wii & 360 die out.
Hate to break it to them, but even if that happens (and it WILL, believe me), people are still not going to drop $400 bucks on a PS3, in a mass scale.
It's never gonna frickin' happen.
They don't need to just drop that price by $100, they need to cut it in half.
PS3, 40GB - $199.98 MSRP imo.
