I saw the sword fighting, frisbee throwing, and jet skiing. But they were terrible presentations.

They were just wildly swinging the remotes for the sword fight.

And the Jet Ski demonstration could have been done just as easily without the addon. That's hardly something that rrequires precise movements, and they've already done driving games for the system.

And the frisbee demo, they tossed the frisbee, what twice?

Where was the updated baseball or tennis game where you could actually swing the bat/raquet and pitch/serve any way you liked? Where was the fencing game with two professional fencers deuling it out on the stage to show just how precise the controlls really are?

The way they demonstrated the new hardware made it impossible to judge just how accurate it really is, and failed to demonstrate the amazing potential that a true tracking controller really has. If this thing works as avertised then Wii games are about to get a whole lot better as we finally get all those cool things we imagined you could do with the controller before the system came out and we learned the controller wasn't as good as advertised.
