Heck I want to be dang near in virtual reality land. If I lift up my legs I walk. If I kick something then it has to be with the correct foot and at the right height etc. Let my battles be me really loading and shooting and hacking away. Adding a ton of realism is the next step. Not more realistic graphics or better button pushing or anything of the sort. But actual realism.
Heck I want to be able to fire a topspin shot in tennis. Hit a fade in golf. Put a spin on the bowling ball. And on and on. And not with some built in A+B move but by doing it just like I would in real life.
If it gets us closer to that then I'm a fan.

Just curious if you've played Wii Sports Bowling, I get wicked spin on my bowling balls. It basically involves twisting your wrist ever so slightly at the bottom of your swing. I can throw straight down the far left side of the lane (I'm a lefty) and put enough right spin on the ball to miss the headpin entirely to the right even on a really hard throw. (I.e the ball starts going straight down the left most board and start curving around half-way and crosses over the centre line before reaching the pins.)
The best way I can describe putting spin on is to have a really straight backswing and downswing, but just before your arm reaches vertical on the downswing you start twisting your wrist in the direction you want spin. By the time your arm is straight out in front of you (long after you've released the ball) your hand should be at 90 degrees rotation from it's original position. It takes some practice, but the spin in bowling is actually one of the most impressive things I've found for the Wii. I just hope in improves golfing, I can't believe how awfull putting is in Wii Sports Golf.
