The fast play would definitely make for a great mini workout on the Wii. I've only played my 360 copy a few times. The difficulty just gets insanely hard so quick. Hopefully they tweak it for the Wii version.

i think they'll probably do it in the form of timing, as opposed to how hard you actually wing the wiimote around.
I agree, I don't think they could make it as accurate as we would like it.

I've also picked up OoT, but haven't played a whole lot of it yet. I still need to finish TP and I also have a copy of WW.
I passed on MK64. I have Mario Kart on the DS. Didn't want to spend $10 on an old N64 version. I'll probably get Mario Kart Wii when it comes out.
Starfox just didn't look like it aged well, so I didn't bother.
I'm fairly positive I will be buying Paper Mario. The graphics actually look pretty amazing for a N64 game -- I guess cause it's mostly 2D.

Paper Mario on the other hand hasn't been copied a lot (sequels aside), so the gameplay feels fresh. It came late in the N64's cycle, and was passed over by a lot of gamers. Plus, the visual style is more timeless than Mario 64, and feels less dated.

Saw my first Wii on a shelf today. Had to stop at Target to run an errand before work and wandered by. They had one in the case right next to the sign that said they were out of stock 
Unfortunately I couldn't swing the purchase this week. I'll probably end up ordering an online bundle a few months from now (hopefully I'll be able to find one.)
Anyway, it was cool to actually see one in the wild.

If I don't typically like turn-based RPG games, but I did enjoy Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga a little bit, would Paper Mario for N64 be something that I should look into? I've never played that game before.
And on a side note, I just recently bought RE4 for the Wii, and just like Twilight Princess for the Wii totally changed the way I look at games like that, to the point where I will find it hard to ever play a Zelda type game without the Wii controls, the Wii has changed the way I look at games like RE4. I much prefer the controls, and I doubt I'll ever want to go back.
I have a feeling that over the life of the Wii, or even just through the rest of this year, I'm going to start feeling that way about more and more games.

I recently played Paper Mario on N64 and it was one of the best games I've played in a while. The Gamecube one is also great. It's turn based rather than action style, if it matters.

No noise from mine either. Then again I haven't turned it on in a couple weeks so I could be wrong, but I've never noticed it before.
