I loves me some racing games (though you'd be hard-pressed to make a better one than Burnout 3) and deformable terrain sound like a good feature. I'm waiting for the price of the system to go down to $100 as fast as I can! Excite Truck looks like a whole lot of fun.

I've sustained one Wii-njury, when a coworker, while losing a game of tennis, smacked his Wiimote into me. I still won. Excite truck kicks ass. Steering, which is done by holding the controller sideways and turning it like a steering wheel, successfully taps into all of the movement you inherently made when playing anyway. It's pretty amazing, but the marketing seems to be true: the physical nature of the play makes the whole system more social, more interactive, and more fun for casual games. A game of tennis only takes a few minutes, and take no training at all. (Except for getting the turbo serve. But that's my ace in the hole.) - Jesse I’ve been able to log a few hours playing on a Wii at work (our very talented graphics department got one.)

I consider it as important as a high-contrast mobile. I'm just putting that out there, family members. Our soon-to-be baby needs this system. I consider it as important as a high-contrast mobile.
