The Hidden Gems of E3 63
WarpSource writes "Most people including me are excited to see what Twilight Princess has to offer, read more about Spore and possibly Halo 3 at E3 2006. Yet there are so many other games at the show besides the "big name titles". An article at Silconera mentions some of the lesser known games that deserve attention, like a Wii flight simulator, an online rollerblading music rhythm game and Dragon Quest Rocket Slime."

SIX! OH-CLOCK!
(In retrospect, the Intellivision controller was a lot closer to a remote control than anything until this Wii one, now I think of it... Actually looked more like an iPod, with the circular pad for your thumb and a standard number pad you slid the individual game's little plastic sheet onto. Holy cow.)

Hmm you may be on to something here. Previously gamers tried to move their hands around to control games. Nintendo answered this call. Now Wii users will be making funny sounds.. Voice activiated controls? (No not words like Go and stop, but things like VROOOOM and SCREEECH)

"Forget about going outside kids, now you can simulate rollerblading to music online! Does your overprotective mother make you wear kneepads? Now she won't have to worry because you're safe inside your house! Concerned about air pollution hurting your lungs? You guessed it, you can rollerblade in the comfort of your own home without getting tracks on the living room carpet! Don't have any friends? Now you can pretend to be somebody

I don't understand it either. Two points:
1) For me, the joy of rollerblading/biking/hiking/running/etc. comes in large part from from motion and from experiencing the environment. A multiplayer rollerblade game strikes me as a bit too sterile -- in the same way that riding a Segway isolates you in a way from the environment by reducing your interaction to one of simply leaning, this game reduces skating to button pressing.

This is a great idea and I hope that Nintendo resurrects Pilot Wings for Wii. I can't wait until tommorrow's press conference.
