    Totally want Madworld.. but I refuse to pay $250 for a gamecube w/ waggle controls.. simply refuse. However, if an HD Wii comes out for like $150, then it's a deal. W/ built-in motion-plus controllers are a must as well.

      Well, it's more than a GC with waggle... I hate that "waggle" word, such a bandwagon term. There are many Wii games that make excellent use of the motion controller: Metroid 3, Mario Galaxy, MarioKart, Conduit, Wii Sports/Resort, Twilight Princess, Madden/NCAA football, Grand Slam Tennis (just to name a few). And, Mad World is an awesome game by the way.

        Both Mario Galaxy and Zelda make use of the controller in a terrible way that I wish was not present.

          Zelda is a ported GC game. i agree.

          but galaxy was a blast to play. period. controls never came in between the player and the game. for me anyway

        The motion controller is the one thing I like least about the Wii - there are a tiny handful of games that don't make it feel stupid and tacked on, such as Boom Blox.

        I'd probably buy one if they sold a 'real' controller that would be able to play games like deBlob without having to waggle to jump.
