....why does the wii still NEED the classic controller and gamecube controller?? i mean ps3 and the 360 have a standard controller that seems to work, i believe, for most to all the games on them...

More options. I don't see that as being a bad thing. Now, as for its technical capabilities being last-gen, you can make an argument. But ultimately you'll just have to accept that the Wiimote of itself is a pretty cool input device and a first-step in the new direction of this industry.

the classic controller is mostly used for virtual console and the gamecube controller is used for...well backwards compatible gamecube games, it's simple really.

SSBB is recommended highly with the old Gamecube controller, which proves the Wii-mote is NOT the answer for all future games.

think of it as an 'accessory'. :P

And I assume it's still taking some devs. a while to wrap their heads around the motion-sensing concept.

yeah, that and don't forget the new mario kart too that they say controls horrendously with the wiimote...

normally we'ld blame the developers for being lazy and not doing too good a job, but these games SSBB and the wii's mario kart are first party titles.....

and the PS controller works well for fighters. doesn't make it true or false that the 360's controller is superior to it.

It's safe to say that the Wii-mote is not ideal for fast and furious fighting games, that's for sure.

The same way I wouldnt want to see Wii-mote used on Soul Calibur 4 or Street Fighter 4. But I dont have to worry about that, those games arent coming to Wii anyways. lol

uhm...y not? i'm just sayin', if the wiimote is so revolutionary, it should be able to control the game at least averagely, especially considering all the research nintendo must have poured into it....u shouldn't need to have to buy another controller(if u own neither the classic or the gamecube controller) to get the average experience..

Yea the Wiimote isn't really suited to the fighting genre at all but at least there are other control options to make up for it.

Fighting and car racing are the two genres that I haven't seen done well on the Wii yet (in terms of wiimote useage).

You do know the controls for the wiimote is not that bad right? Its quite comfortable, but I find the GC control a little better. It depends on which control method you like.

I said it's not ideal for all genres. There will be some genres the Wii-mote doesnt handle well.

What, so it got a high score on SMG and Metroid, so that means it's the answer to all FPS and platforming games? So that means no need to make another Halo, Call of Duty or Banjo, just only make Nintendo Wii-mote games since it's so revolutionary based on those scores? I see sheep basing Wii's victory on just ONE game on ONE website, SSBB's score here at Gamespot. I think they're the ones that need a peptalk.

You must not have brawl fanboy, cause I can easily use the wiimote nunchuck combo then go to sideways controller.

my god... do you even think what you type before you actually type it??? The Wii has the classic controller to play classic (VC) games and the Gamecube controller to play GC games. :| It's that easy. And over times devs took advantage of the Wii's versatility and added more options for our games. How is that a bad thing???

Because some times the Wii mote isn't cut out for certain types of games.. Take Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the way the Wii mote was implemented it was awful, a regular gamepad is all that is needed for that kind of game.. But take something like Resident Evil 4 and you will see how revolutionary it is.

wow....same topic over and over.

not every game needs to use motion control. but you don't NEED the classic controller for SSBB or mario kart , it's just an extra option....

so your question is just a justification for YOU to miss out.

IMO the biggest flaw of Nintendo this gen is not the graphical capabilities its the Online, or lack of.. Brawl for instance after playing iit for some time have found it to be an amazingly indepth game thats awesome.. But it could have been legendary if it gave a real online support...

I could only imagine how amazing it would be with a online like Halo 3 for instance.. Where a person could go in, random max make, play with buddies, choose the game mode, actually communicate, etc etc..

SSBB is recommended highly with the old Gamecube controller, which proves the Wii-mote is NOT the answer for all future games.PhoebusFlows
Umm the Wii wasn't meant to revolutionize gaming but to take it into new directions. I agree the Wii-mote isn't good for fighting games, but it's better then an analog controller for shooters and games like Trauma Center, Zack and Wiki, Elebits, and Wii-Sports could not be done on any other console.

and i totally agree with you on that point....it just dissapoints me because this game could of really benefited from some stellar graphics......but im sure it will be fun...but i also dont think that nintendo should make me accept that its graphics will be meh....they made brawl and smg look great now why not mario kart

IMO the biggest flaw of Nintendo this gen is not the graphical capabilities its the Online, or lack of.. Brawl for instance after playing iit for some time have found it to be an amazingly indepth game thats awesome.. But it could have been legendary if it gave a real online support...

I could only imagine how amazing it would be with a online like Halo 3 for instance.. Where a person could go in, random max make, play with buddies, choose the game mode, actually communicate, etc etc..

i think that those are the two major flaws that keep me from giving a damn about my wii that seems so hard for others to find/buy.....online is a big deal for me and wii's approach is poor at the very best....and i cant help it but for the most part wii's graphics make me feel bad for putting my hdtv thru so much anguish(i have a graphic OCD....cant help it)

SSBB is recommended highly with the old Gamecube controller, which proves the Wii-mote is NOT the answer for all future games.PhoebusFlows

i dont think anyone ever said it was the answer to all games

....why does the wii still NEED the classic controller and gamecube controller?? i mean ps3 and the 360 have a standard controller that seems to work, i believe, for most to all the games on them...tok1879

It's just an option. Mostly for little kids who may have a hard time learning the new Wiimote and are used to the old NES and SNES controllers. Just about ALL the Wii games use the Wiimote and Nunchuk, but it's time to have an option to use the old tried and true controllers.

It's safe to say that the Wii-mote is not ideal for fast and furious fighting games, that's for sure.

The same way I wouldnt want to see Wii-mote used on Soul Calibur 4 or Street Fighter 4. But I dont have to worry about that, those games arent coming to Wii anyways. lol

You finally make a valid statement but then go and ruin it by throwing in a stupid anti-Wii remark at the end. There is little hope for you. :|

Even though those games may never come to the Wii, you can be sure that some form of at least Street Figther most likely will. I mean, it is Capcom afterall.

The Wiimote should have a few more buttons on it. A set of 4 buttons in a diamond shape where the 1 and 2 buttons are would have been nice.

And your basing this on one game?

MK Wii is said to be also better using the GC controller... :D

You do know that different people play better with different controls right? One person might be better with the wiimote while someone else could be better with the GC controller.

uhh..have you even read the IGN preview of MK Wii???

It's only "highly recommended with the old Gamecube controller" by people who played it on the Gamecube and are used to it that way. Some people can't comprehend playing a game in a new way. Personally, I think the GC controller is the worst since the Power Glove.

Kind of hard to say until it comes out. I don't put much faith in that IGN review, considering the guy's actions in the pictures are so completely backwards for the controllers. Tilting the GC controller, lifeless with the Wiimote....

Just because the Wiimote is the Wii's big feature doesn't mean every game has to use it, not every game benefits from the Wiimote. Look at the DS for example, plenty of games are using the touch screen but their are some that just play better using standard buttons. I'm glad Nintendo saw this and didn't try to force us down a single road...
