nintendo wii

The controller has all standard functions plus it acts as a 3D mouse.
 
Not sure where the problem is, except in possibly uninspired developer implementation. But that would be a developers fault, not Nintendo\'s.
 
I must be right. I used like three big words in a row.

but will nintendo dictate "how" you can play thier 1st party games?

if you don\'t want zelda to be controlled by waving an imaginary plastic shield in front of you, could you use the normal controller buttons?

they are splitting thier playerbase in half.
well not half, i\'d bet the majory of gamers think the new controller is just "gay"

Uhm, no.

It\'s a bit too easy to label it as gimmick.

Sure, there will be crap gimmick games on Wii, but an experimental platform will always have varying results. If Nintendo can keep costs low and controls, accurate en precise, then this may be a very good thing for gaming.

Tired of the normal controller. How many times can Sony recycle the same design? Sure, they changed it abit this time, but is that goin\' to effect how we play games? No.

I\'m sure the Wii will lack in third party games, but you count on it excelling in first party and second party games and that\'s enough for me.

How about....offering both instead of limiting you to that?

And why Sony specifically when everyone used the familiar layaout?

mm pointed out I believe that the normal controller is still a necessity even for...ahem..."Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii yaaaaay youpiiiiii"() in addition to the new controller.

virualboy was an experimental platform, and an evolution in gaming

Wii is no more experimental than N64 was with its analog controller.  It takes normal control and gives it three dimensional depth.

This comes at the cost of alienating you (though I suspect you\'ll actually buy one), but with the chance at getting a few people who wouldn\'t normally get a second console (its half the cost, after all... probably) as well as a couple more who might not have bought a system at all.

Silly name aside, Nintendo is doing a lot of things right with Wii.

For all the praise a keyboard and mouse set up gets, Wii will emulate that, but also allowing you to move the mouse upward or on angle. It is also a lightgun by function.

Just like with the DS, there will be gimmicky uses for it, but for every gimmick, there\'s the chance for an inspiring, innovative idea. Which is why DS, despite its "gimmicks" is the best handheld system available at the moment.

Look at it, an online system with unique controls and a larger library with backwards compatibility. That\'s Wii.

And uni, it\'s hard to take you seriously asking someone to be more mature when you just got done typing hem..."Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii yaaaaay youpiiiiii" ;]

Learn to just stfu when you are wrong(which is frequent so take this advice). Just don\'t reply, don\'t pull something out of your ass, remain motionless if it helps the "not typing garbage on your computer screen" process more.

well i didn\'t know the "wii" had gamecube controller ports..so all is not lost...if it just came with the magic wand controller, that would\'ve sucked...well i still think the name is and while i\'m not a big nintendo fan, this new console having gamecube ports saves it from being a total disaster....of course it will have 1st party support, but for me,..those controllers was what what spelled disaster for me...

and i agree with mm,..if it ain\'t broke don\'t fix it,...i\'ve tried playin with the xbox and gamecube controllers, and i just wasn\'t feelin\' it...sony\'s controllers have the perfect fit...

Or they could\'ve just kept Revolution...

Learn not to enter conversations when you don\'t know the facts. That\'ll help a lot.

if the revolution (refuse to call it wii) indeed has gamecube controller ports and allows functionality of ALL first party games without using the \'remote control\', then i\'ll reconsider getting one.

It shouldn\'t be an issue (to not know all facts in an open forum), unless
there is some sort of personal vendetta going on from both sides.

Otherwise only Nintendo itself would be allowed to post becuz they know all facts about Wii better than anyone else.

Actually in my case that sort of personal vendetta is going on from his side.

Wii has a GC port and thats it. Its not like I was insisting it doesnt. And it doesnt mean that just because someone misses a small info the other has the right to insult him. Just Inform him and leave out those idiotic remarks. All I did was post what I thought mm ment

 And truth be told only LIC jumps in all conversations insisting his views no matter how wrong they are calling evryone that has a different view an idiot, dumbass or whatever.

And LIC stop being pathetic by deleting my posts. if there\'s one post that deserves to be deleted is YOURS and JUMPMAN\'S.
