Steve, reading over your posts, I can't help but notice that you're a diehard Xavix fanboy.  I know where you're getting at with Nintendo ripping off the innovation features of the Xavix but I can also see why Xavix wound up flopping. 

For there to be a specific controller for each game would lead to an awful lot of clutter and reduced space, plus it's not convenient.  People want innovation but they also want convenience.  The Wii gives you that convenience with the feel of operating different tools or holding different objects while all along you are really holding a remote control and an extra analog and button controller.  Nintendo could've very well studied up on Xavix's drawback and improved on that concept.

Aw c'mon, the power glove was so bad in the cool sort of way! Yeah, it didn't do much except help you out in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out but from what I saw, it was pretty innovative.  The Wii finally gives you the opportunity for true innovation to make you feel like you're actually using the items when all you're using is a remote control and an extra analog stick.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the Power Glove! We even bought one to use as a trophy for our annual video game tournaments. It's just so bad!

That's a tough one.  While the Wii version gives you the "feel" of the tools in your hand with the right button pressing and the hold of the Wiimote, as well as having a bonus chapter and side stories, the DS version gives you a fair amount of simplicity and the usage of the stylus which also gives you the feel of incising and suturing for operations.  They're both very good games.  I would actually get both since they both have different feels for performing surgery.

Thanks a lot for the help! I'm glad to hear they are both fairly different games, so I'll have to try getting both of them in the future.

Another masterpiece. I like how the Neo cart is almost the same size as the Wii itself.

The suspended GB was the highlight for me.

Thanks for the comments! I was displeased with the "set design" for this episode though after finishing it because it didn't really give the impression that the Wii was a wizard, but on a positive side it does give it a funny ghetto look .

Haha yeah, that's the main reason why I decided to include it in the episode because I happened to have a MVS cart sitting next to the Wii one day and I noticed how they are nearly the same size (the Wii is just a bit bigger).

The suspended GB was the highlight for me.

Setting up that shot took the longest! It took me a half hour to find some string and when I finally got it set up, the Gameboy kept twirling around in air, so I had to take a bunch of pictures. I was thinking about using a controller of some sort or another portable like the Turbo Express instead, but I was afraid the thin string wouldn't be able to hand the weight.

So I guess that's why NeoGeo games aren't available on the virtual console... they won't fit!
