In a way, I feel that way too. In my mind, I think Ill be thinking I wont waste time in line for it or waste a fp on it when I can just play it when I get home. I've been blessed to go a lot so I think that may happen for me in the future.
But after seeing a few vids on the wii game, I can still tell that it'll be better at the parks. I mean, other than the ride vehichles, sets, theming, and Mr. Potatoe head AA, I think the games themselves look better and are played better on the. So it may not do too much damage, but I think it is def. gonna make the ride less special.
On another note, would it really be too difficult for them to make a spring action shooter attachment? Im thinking this game wont use the nunchuk, so couldnt they add something you plug in the back of the wii mote and make it like the pull string? I would think it wouldnt be that hard.

not really... the game will help with the practice, granted it's no spring action shooter.. so no mania elbow, but you still got wii elbow.

I actually wanna get a Wii now because of this. Sad, isn't it? Oh well, probably can't afford it right now anyways.
-Walking through the supermarket aisle:
Wii or Food? Hmmm...
On a side note, does anyone here still remember Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour for PS1? I love that game. I still play it even now. Granted it's kind of cheesy, but it's the closest you're gonna get to experience the parks on a game console.
Now if only they made a new one for PS3 with more accurate and detailed attraction layouts. :lol:

^^Nice! I might have seen the game before but I've never seen this cover.
I'm sure this is quickly getting OT but there was also a game on SNES called "Mickey's Great Adventure in Tokyo Disneyland." Never played it but here's a pic:
Vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djCeUl7mLaw
I wonder if it's the same as the Adventures in MK game?
And then of course there's this:
Which features a 3d representation of Tokyo DisneySea. For so long I wanted the game, but I didn't want to mod my PS2 to play it.

I remember magical racing tour. But does anyone remember this :
Remember it?? Heck I still own it!!
and I still play it LOL :lookaroun
Ha if I still had an NES I would so own it. It was one of my favorite games as a kid. Especially the space mountain stage. I never could find it to buy, but I would rent it at least once a month. Those two tokyo Disney games have me interested. It might be worth it to buy a cheap PS2 and mod it to play that game.
Back on topic, I will be buying the Toy Story Mania game for sure. It looks like a fun way to kill some time. I dont think it will take anything away from the ride as it is a whole different experience.

Here is a link to a NES emulator. I think you can find the Disney games on this site and play them on your computer. http://www.nintendo8.com/

I'm tired of of the 'hardcore' gamers with their elitiest beliefs about what a 'real' game is.
Much like other posters, I've played games on other systems and still play a wide variety of games. However, the 'hate' that goes to the Wii because it isn't the biggest or fastest is funny to me. As much as I've loved playing some of the 'hardcore' stuff, I've enjoyed playing the Wii as well.
The growth and sales of the Wii have showed just how big the casual market is compared to the hardcore one, but also that both can exist without one 'hurting' the other. The 'fear' that casual games will over take 'hardcore' ones is misplaced. It's the sales of the 'casual' stuff that allows the funding of the bigger, more expensive 'hardcore' games.

Sony showed they didn't know either market - what the hardcore would pay or just how big the causal market is.
Sounds just like before the Wii came out and all the 'experts' said it would fail and Nintendo would go the way of Sega? And the PS3 was supposed to be manna from heaven as well.
The 360 and PS3 have much more advanced designs than the Wii. However, hardware doesn't sell games, games sell hardware.
The 360 (& PS3) would need a HUGE game just to break even with the Wii sales total worldwide. Considering they're just now jumping in on the 'motion control' bandwagon, think it's premature to think it will be as big as the Wii.
I think you've pretty much summed up the situation, Underdog...
To add to your point... I think what a lot of 'hardcore' gamers forgot about was just how diverse the gaming industry is right now. There really is something on the market for everyone. Computer gaming, Console gaming and portable gaming.... Each with a different sub genre...
I believe it's difficult to compare the Wii to the PS3 or Xbox, the Wii can do (to a certain extent) what the other two can, just in a more interactive way... It's a lot like comparing apples and oranges, some people like apples, some like oranges.
Another thought to add to that, I believe a lot of people (hardcore gamers, game critics etc..) forgot about the power of the classic Nintendo games, Mario Bros and Zelda... I know a lot of people who bought a DS just to play the new Mario games on them.... There is a lot of nostalgia driven sales right there. And I know a lot of people my age (30's) grew up on Nintendo as they were really ahead of the curve in the 80's.
Nintendo's thought process is similar to Disney's older thought process (40's, 50's and 60's Disney) in the way that they think ahead of the curve, the Wii is allowing people to come much closer to being immersed in a game than the PS3 and Xbox is. Much like Walt Disney envisioned his theme parks as a family environment, Nintendo must have had the insight to envisioning the whole family being able to use the Wii..
Everyone can use the Wii console, from 8 to 88.... I don't think you'd find as many 88 years enjoying Grand Theft Auto of the Xbox as much as they would enjoy Wii Bowling or Golf...

If being annoyed at people only playing WiiFit and Bowling and calling themselves "GAMERS" is being "Elitist", then sign me right the heck up. I'm not a big gamer, but EXCUSE ME for being ticked off at "World's Ultimate Gamer" reality shows, and KFC Guitar Hero Chicken Buckets.
I'm just generally upset because I'm getting really tired of them building a Video Game stereotype and selling it off to the masses without maintaining it's value or worth.
Anyways, I'm really in the belief that the true American Geek is going the way of the Dinosaur....sigh.
I don't see how advertising makes a game or gaming any less hardcore. The 'Elitist' attitude comes from the idea that if a game doesn't meet 'hardcore' standards, then it's worthless. The hardware isn't powerful enough, it doesn't push enough polys, et al. Game design that is rooted in the power of the hardware does not necessarily mean the game is better.
Society, media, & hollywood have seen just how 'big' gaming is and it's no longer the 'loaner' activity it used to be. TV Shows, game soundtracks on CD and played live via symphony, game stories being translated to the big screen - gaming is mainstream.
Someone mentioned that the there is a large supply of 'Mini-games' on the Wii, which is true. The same 'dumping' of quick and easy games has happened on every 'generation' leader - NES, SNES, PS, and PS2 for example. However, because the 'hardcore' stuff (RE5, Final Fantasy, other RPGS) aren't on the Wii, it's 'horrible.' There's some good to great games there *if* you look. Now, back to the 360. ;-)
Outside of being able to play all the GC games...
Zelda - originally made for the GC, not the Wii. Great game none the less.
Mario - SMG - One of the best ever. Awesome soundtrack.
FF - Crystal Chronicals; No problem with me, but not exactly the 'Final Fantasy' that the 'Hardcore' want.
I'm happy with my Wii btw.

Wow, I never knew there was a game about DisneySea...I kept thinking they should make an RPG based on it, I guess they beat me to it!
