*cough* BIAS *cough*

I'm sorry, I just don't like the blades. They're relatively slow. At least for me. I like menus/gui to be as fast as possible. I hate it when GUI designers slow it down so the idiots don't get lost because the menu is too fast. A good example is in Marble Blast Ultra I can hit Start, Down, A so fast it is just a flash on the screen to restart the match. I love that. Compare that to Halo 2's GUI for example, to change controller settings there is a slight delay when entering a submenu, like a fade almost. It is intentional.

I hate that, and that's what I feel the 360 blades are, intentionally delayed.

And why would somebody say that the Wii GUI is messed up? Everything is right there on one screen. GUI designers are told to try and minimize the number of actions required to get somewhere. With Windows or Wii, it's point and click, done. With PS3 or 360, it's move one blade, move another blade, move another blade, just to get to a screen that gives you the options you want. Wii and Windows were there to begin with.
