Wow I got ubar trolled by some wiitard while I was sleeping. At least wait till I am awake till you restate many facts that people have been over. I love all the wii fanboys that just HAVE to reply to old sh!t just because they can't stand the fact that someone doesn't like the wii. lol wiitards, did I just make that up?

I was asking a question, not making a statement. Get off your hypocritical fanboy pedestal, and grow up.
So you have to plug in the sensor for it to work? It would be cool for it to be built in blue tooth or something. Does the sensor have to have line of sight? or is it like an RF sensor, and whats the range?

Wikipedia has the answers to all of your questions:

So, 15 feet away and LOS is necessary. That's for games where you use the Wii remote to point at the screen, like a FPS. It can sense motion without the sensor bar though - so when you're using the remote like a tennis racquet or what have you it doesn't need to be pointed at the screen.

Oh lol I was confused, I was thinking of the receiver end of a wireless controller. Not a sensor bar for light-gun like stuff. thats pretty cool though, great that it works with all kinds of TVs. Even though you can't take advantage of those TVs.

I don't know, I guess because Nintendo doesn't make PC games.
He did make it onto the Philips CD-i
Per the OP's request, list of games featuring Mario:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mario_games
Most of them aren't Mario games though, just games that have Mario in them.
The way I look at it is this... Nintendo makes some really fun games. Most of them are not "realistic" games, they're more cartoonish and arcade-style games. Like Mario Kart for instance, or Mario Tennis. They could make up a different set of characters for each game, and they'd still be the same fun game. Or they could use an identifiable set of characters in many different games. Using the identifiable set of characters works pretty well.
Actually I don't think games like Mario Kart and Mario Tennis would be nearly as successful if they didn't use the identifiable set of characters. Not that they wouldn't still be great, fun games. I think other companies would love to have a set of characters that could guarantee the success of a game.

leave me alone. i'm not going to stand idly by while people insult me. but if you notice mugs is actually telling me things that are worthwhile, instead of pointing out holes in my 2 day old posts or my intelligence. thanks.

Because that wouldn't drive prices into the roof on eBay, and provide people that have the ability to make a fvckload of money (contracted friends to camp out at different Bestbuys/Circuit cities at $100 a piece to get PS3's for eBay sale).
Um I think the official reason given was "difficulties with the manufacturing of the blue laser diode". whatever that means.
I love the part where OP more or less implies that Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Mario Golf, and Super Mario are all the same basic game solely because they have mario characters in them. Not sure why anyone bothered arguing with him after that. Obviously if they had just changed the textures and voice acting, it would be a totally different game... :roll:
