Well, based on personal experience, Wii games do take longer to load. This isn't a 'issue,' but as I said before, it's a sort of set-back in comparison to the other consoles this generation.

The graphics of that game you posted were exceptional, but I'm wondering if the Wii would struggle by using all it's power rendering and end up with side effects that effect that gameplay.

I wasn't arguing about the specifics of the Wii, by the way. I was referring to the fact that, overall as a console, it is considered as more of a 'toy.' Casual gaming target market, hardware and waggle controls (where the developers accidentally making the gameplay tedius). Which is why it is hated by Sony fans, MS fans and some Nintendo fans as well (E3 2008 being the biggest insult to the Nintendo core gamers ever).

I'm not concerned about SW3 being on the Wii, I'm concerned about my arms. I welcome SW3's debut into the Wii, but it is a bit inconsiderate for Koei to isolate a good number of their previous fanbase.

You're right about one thing: E3 2008 has been something unforgivable, probably the biggest disappointment Nintendo ever gave to me.
While it's true that Nintendo is now more directed to the casual crowd, they still didn't forget their longtime fans: Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime 3 just to say some names. Also the Mario and Zelda teams are working on new games, an excellent sign.

Still, some "casual games" are still fun: Mario Kart Wii for example, extremely easy to pick up and play and while the advanced techniques were taken out from the game (I was once a pro player of Mario Kart DS) the game is still fun.

Let's face it: the only bad thing about SW3 is that maybe it would be directed to the casual crowd, but considering the series and the large fan it has, I doubt it.

Also about loading times... how many minutes Devil May Cry 4 need before running on a PS3? :whistle:
