This is n excerpt from a GAME.co.uk article where Nintendo Wii won the Originality Award

Originality: Winner - Wii

Our initial reaction, as with everyone else, was shock. Surely it couldn’t work… could it? But the more we – and the rest of the gaming globe – thought about it, the more we liked the concept of motion sensitive control. Indeed, it soon seemed like the best idea ever.

And playing it was the real proof of more Nintendo genius. Sure, sports games have been done before – but never like Wii Sports, where you truly feel a part of the experience. Shooters have been immersive before – but never like Red Steel, which thrusts the weapon directly into your hand. Party games, too, are nothing new – but Monkey Ball, Rayman and Wario Ware make them more pick-up-and-play than ever. Adventure games, meanwhile, are ten a penny – but few offer the joys of Zelda’s sword slashing, arrow aiming control setup.

Fantastically fun and easily accessible, the originality of Wii speaks volumes for Nintendo’s continued commitment to innovating the way we play.
