Not into it. I'm an old-school gamer, and playing on a system that makes it look like you have taken some kind of hallucenagen doesnt do it for me.
On the other hand, there are alot of old-school games that are very difficult to find, but are easy to download onto the wii....
Probably won't get one.

I'm not sure I understand that comment. Why does the Wii give you that impression? Once you're in a game, it's a game. Before that, the interface isn't too different from that of a computer and using the Wiimote like a mouse. You don't have to download or use the Everybody Votes Channel, it's just there for your ammusement.

The interactiveness. Swinging the controller around, and stuff. All that activity may begin to resemble exercise.

Have you actualy tried it?
Things like Wii Sports can be a workout (though even that isn't that big a deal), but Zelda, for example, has a fantastic interface that besides shaking the remote to swing the sword, only uses the Wiimote as a pointer which makes aiming much more intuitive for things like the bow, boomerang, or clawshot.
DBZ you move the curser to do special moves instead of complex button/controler combos
Racing games you use the controler like a stearing wheel. Certaintly not too different from actualy using one.
It realy it fairly intuitive, and some people are still learning the best way to make use of it, but for the most part, it's fairly easy to do. And if not, you can always use the classic controler instead (some games let you).
