Thats interesting that you posted that. After playing Monkey Ball on a Wii at a friends house last night (technically this morning), I was thinking how its similar to Segway control. You tilt the controller forward to accelerate, back to slow down and rotate sideways to turn. I immediately thought of riding a Segway. Glad to see they coupled the two uniquely controlled devices for the promotion.

I think Nintendo did a good job with marketing the fun to play over the better to look at strategy. I am not a big gamer, but after playing Wii I think I may just have to get one.
