One of my main disappointments...

There is no Animal Crossing Channel on the main screen of the Wii. If they can have a channel for Mario Kart, why not Animal Crossing? Especially since there is all this talk of the downloadable content and stuff. This is a rather lame reason, given by Eguchi in the interview that is listed on the previous post,

"Eguchi tells us, the reason Nintendo has no plans to offer a Wii Animal Crossing Channel. “It’s a big game, a huge game for the system, and to try and cut off a portion of that to place in a channel, I’m not sure if that’s something we’d be interested in.” "

Some people were upset about the weather channel not being a part of the game, but that doesn't bother me at all.

I still haven't read a reason as to why they decided NOT to include motion control as part of the game. I think that is probably the biggest disappointment of all. I mean, the main focus of the Wii was that the controls were "mobile," jerking the wiimote to catch a fish, swinging it to catch a bug-and that's not in this game. I think they really dropped the ball on that one.
