Friday 12 May 2006
If you're still trying to get your head round just how Wii will work, hopefully theses videos of E3 attendees getting to grips with the remote should help.
Taken on the E3 show floor, we've got footage of gamers tackling the best Wii has to offer by waving the remote around to the following games:
WarioWare: Smooth Moves (AVI, 12.1MB)- right-click to download
Tackling the minigame mayhem by using the remote in a number of different ways. Just before the start of each game there is an on-screen indication of how you should hold the remote and how to move it.
