Visceral

Obviously, the Wii remote is very intuitive when playing tennis, bowling, or even boxing. But there's a visceral element to the Wii, as well. There's something much more dark and satisfying about shaking the remote and nunchuck to finish off a strangulation execution. It's part the mimicry of the action and part the flourish you're allowed -- the expression of the move.

It's like watching a pro play DDR -- it's not just about tapping the directions with your feet, it's about making a whole dance out of it.

So, yeah, the Wii doesn't specialize in Mature games (and it doesn't have to). The graphics aren't as rich and detailed as the PS3 and the 360 but the environment feels so much deeper simply because of the control scheme.

I'm guessing Nintendo knew that.
