Ok, I was fine up until this point: "Strictly speaking, follow through isn't a physical requirement for hitting home runs. Once the ball has left the bat, the bat imparts no more energy to the ball."
Huh? I've never played baseball in my life but it's simple enough - if you were to swing the bat in such a way as to be able to stop it immediately the ball has left it, the energy imparted would be very small indeed; follow through is everything.
Going back to Wii Sports, it is supposed to be incrediably easy to "cheat" in all the sports games, greatly reducing the fun level. Personally I'm surprised that there hasn't been more reviews along the same lines as Sofge's, but I guess Nintendo marketing has done a good job. (Got the journos well liquored up and not let them play the same game too long.)
It looks (ftm) like the Wii is going to be a huge success, however, it will surely depend on how well the remote is exploited vs. how many of the games rely on gimmickry.
