I turned my Wii on the other day and enjoyed a couple hours or so of Tales of Symphonia (Gamecube). I think once there are a load of decent Wii titles it will enjoy some more play time as a Wii, rather than GC, SNES, Megadrive etc. The lack of Wii games is really starting to disappoint me at the moment, especially with Paper Mario already out in the US, and the delay of Metroid 3 for the UK. I have, though, really enjoyed me Wii as more than just a fad - SSX Blur, Excite Truck both show, and realise to some extent, the potential of the wii-mote control system. The six-axis controller does look quite tempting though for me as a potential PS3 owner, though they risk falling into the realms of obscurity as a gimmick, it's these types of features (when done well) that attract me to gaming in adding extra levels of immersion to the experience.
If I had a PS3 and was offered a decent price for it I'd be more tempted to sell that and consider buying a new one once more games are out (especially if the PS3 *is* going to get rumble for its controllers - i would prefer to just wait).

I dunno, ive seriously gonna of rumble pads, imo the lightness and ease of movement on the current pads is simply amazing, it feels a lot more free. I think it would be a bit of a pain going back to clumpy, heavy, virbrating pads again.

Thats the other reason I have a wii, it was for the GC games for my 5 year old. Can you suggest a few? She likes Sonic on the Xbox, anything spongebob related, Crash bandicoot etc. Maybe she just has too many consoles, she has a GC, Xbox and DS of her own. She's got an Xbox Live account too, she likes Viva Pinata - but I think it is too complex for her to really get far in, she seems to just like buying accessories for the pinatas etc.
Then she runs out of cash and I have to go chilli farming or something.

I thought the PS3 controllers felt cheap and tacky, because of how light they were, and how botched up the sixaxis and L2+R2 implemention are. Seeing an attempt at a justification of a lack of rumble like yours kinda made me squirm to be honest. Clumpy, heavy vibrating pads? The PS1 and PS2 controllers are hardly heavy still, and they're identical to the PS3 controllers. Unless of course you were stealth trolling the other consoles ?

My now 8 year old niece was more taken by Sonic on the vc more than any of the 3d games, though her n the younger one (6) did quite like wii sports (the youngest did nearly punch the tv in wii boxing though). I wonder what Harvest Life is like for the GC (and Animal Crossing) - I was tempted to buy a copy of Harvest Life except I believe there's a Wii version on its way, so I may wait.

Funnily enough as much as think the 360 controller is better than the PS3 pad (except the D-pad of course) I actually quite like the lightness of the PS3 pad in a way it actually feels indestructable? I don't how to explain it but the lightness makes it easier to hold?
Weird, but somehow it doesn't feel as cheap as I originally thought..
Still think the 360 pad is the best around, especially for FPS games. And the Wii controller is a masterstroke, hats of to Nintendo for that one

The 360 controller has the best build quality of any I have held so far, I get to try out my bro PS3 tomorrow though. 
I've got a backlog of games to play on my Wii. Currently working through Resident Wii-vil and still got Zelda sitting on the shelf unopened. Also got OoT, Paper Mario and Metroid Prime: Echoes to get through.
My PS3 only gets turned on to watch the odd Blu-Ray since I completed Kingdom Hearts 2 a couple of months ago.

WTF????? I was giving my opinion !!...Yea the pads are light and tbh if you had spent a bit longer than just holding one youd understand that theyre not cheap and tacky. Same goes for sixaxis, its hardly botched is it?? or are you saying that coz 360 doesnt have it?? and again imo the new L2 + R2 buttons allow finer adjustments over just on & off like the old ones! Which is very useful in racing games such as motorstorm and dirt, where theyre used as the accelerator! It wasnt a justification of lack of rumble at all! I was giving my humble opinion on preferring a light pad, because as stated it offers more ease and freedom of movement. You clearly havent used the pads long enough to understand what i mean which makes you the troll tbh! 360 fanboy.

Get over yourselves.

^Seems like a valid contribution to me

Defensive much? My opinion is just as valid as yours. And well done on throwing the word 'fanboy' around like a child, because I like both consoles in equal measure, believe it or not. I like how out of us both, you're the first to mention the 360 out of sheer insecurity. I've owned a PS3 since day one (which can't be said for many people) and used the sixaxis long enough to know that it's a rarely-used feature simply because it does not add enough to the gameplay. The only good example I can think of is Motorstorm, and that's only because it's an open track game where imprecise controls can have a lot of room to breathe. As it stands, a lot of players miss the vibration feature and would drop the motion sensing feature in a heartbeat for it back.
Until I get Warhawk and it proves exceptional like the previews and reviews have said, I'm standing by my belief that the sixaxis was an afterthought in response to the Wii, and not really part of Sony's long term plans for the console. There's just not enough usage out of it, and it contributes a lot to the console's already high price, something a lot of gamers and Sony themselves can do without.
I played some Red Steal the other day. Wish I didn't 
Might sell/give away/pay someone else to take away Red Steal. Just too crap.
Anyone suggest any Wii games I should pick up? Thinking about Paper Mario (not released yet still?), Trauma Center and Mario Party.

Paper mario rocks, Trauma centre is a bit short and can be hard if you're crap at games but it's very enjoyable. I've not played mario party but mario party 2 on the gamecube was fan-smegging-tastic with four players.
