I just stood in front of a nintendo Wii in a toy store in Amsterdam and asked the guy in the store if I could also play with it, having heard about the new controller that they invented…
You basically swing your controller around when you want to perform actions in the game like strike with a sword or swing a tennis racket. Sounds cool enough to me :-)
BUT…
Some american lawyers have done their homework and Nintendo now has to clarify who is responsible if you injure someone or destroy something while playing.
So there won’t be any playable demo-Wiis in Amsterdam. Unbelievable.

Either this is some amazing marketing gag or else some lawyers in the states just have waaay too much time ;-)

UPDATE:
Ohwell: Looks like they are right: See Wiidamage and wii have a problem ;)
It’s not the lawyers, humans are just stupid by default.
