Contained somewhere within the “Plot Keywords” section of Amazon.com’s listing for insanely prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike’s film Izu is every possible awesome idea in the universe.

1. Wii Sports really is all that. The second most talked-about Wii title, Zelda: Twilight Princess, is a warm bag of tapioca in comparison.

Hopefully the Wii will stimulate more developers to comprehensively rethink how they use controllers.
