The other thing that caught me attention was that every single person who bowled a strike in Wii sports threw their arms up into the air. Old man. Young woman. Young man. It didn't matter.

That's a pretty damn powerful indication of... well, it's an indication ofsomething, anyway. Something very good for Nintendo.

People don't celebrate like that with bowling games released on consoles previously. You just sit, and bowl.

Normally it's only when bowling in real life that people celebrate that way.

Edit: It's a really really positive reflection of people connecting with the kenetic nature of Wii games.

Wow. That's around 20 red white and blue bucks. Since I'm not familiar with retail in Japan, are prices for cables like this typically similar to those in NA?

EDIT: That VGA cable is much more interesting! I can use my monitor for Wii, biznatches.
EDIT2: It's not VGA. Nintendo sucks?

What the crap. So that's not VGA? Let down total. I have a nice 23" monitor into which I would very much like to put a WiiGA of DiiVI signal.

I hope at least there's a 3rd party Wii-to-DVI cable.

D-terminal. It's component video. Not a VGA connector. I got a little excited when I first saw the pic too. =/

It's a Japan-exclusive cable that, as said before, transmits a component signal.

Yeah, those videos really put the whole thing into persepctive concerning how other people perceive the controller. The promo videos did nothing but provide ammo for Wii jokes and awkward gameplaying. These really send out a more powerful message concerning the effectiveness of the controller with regards to different demographics.

huh? which videos did you see? i saw no awkwardness at all. in fact.. everyone was having damn fun..

i like the guy that was shocked the controller actually tracked your motion.

I have D-terminal cables for my PS2. I got excited when I first saw the pic because I thought it might be the elusive VGA cable that Nintendo hinted at a long time ago, but those hopes were dashed as soon as I saw the "D" in the description.

The prices for the component and D-terminal cables aren't bad at all though. Are D-terminal connections common on TVs in Japan? Just wondering because it seems like most consoles since the 32-bit era have supported them. When I first got an XRGB-2 I was like "wtf is this connection?", but the D-terminal port was quite convenient since it freed up the RGB port allowing two consoles to be connected at once.
