MS to show off waggle controller next week.

Oh God no, it looks like MS have ripped off the Wiimote and will be showing it off on Tuesday. Banjoe will be the fist Wii rip off title.

I already own a Wii, I don't need another ******* waggle console. I like the 360 controller just fine. If they screw up Banjoe or any other big 360 games with waggle I'm done. If Gears 2 has waggle I'm throwing my 360 in the trash.

so banjo will use the new waggle remote?!

i guess it could work okay, but i would have preferred to use a traditional controller

i'm guessing M$ forced the change if this is true

I think that would be great. It would mean one of the powerful consoles will also have the option of motion sensing for games which are well suited for it. For example, it could save me having to buy two versions of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Well color me curious and if true I bet this will be a huge hit though I'm sure Banjo 3 will also work with the traditional controller.

I would love to see a real sweet 1:1 MS waggle controller and Links 2010 & Top Spin 3 as a few games to show it off. :D

Maybe you freak out over nothing ? IF the rumor is true, ALL games will still support the starndard controller, so there is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to worry about

Now we can all calm, right ?

if Banjo has motion sensing... my hype is already gone.. wont even bother buying.Pure_Awesome

Funny how different people are. If Banjo has motion sensing than my hype is even higher. I really enjoy the Wiimote.

Well it's your choice - just seems odd.

Banjo won't have waggle. It'll probably be for the new XBLA title Rare is supposed to be working on.SSCyborg

I don't see the motion controls coming out for a XBLA title. There would be no point for people to buy it. Coming with Banjo they can package it together with the controller.

If Gears used it then it would probably be great, the Wiimote is great for shooters its just the lack of power under the hood cripples its potential. I fail to see how it could enhance Banjo though, but look at it this way if you will, thanks to the HDD and updates how hard would it be for older games (shooters would benefit as a said) to have these controls added? I don't think we should all assume the worst, the Wii remote is great and the 360 puts out great games with stunning visuals so why would the two not work well together?

How about using it to some how work with this game.

If so, that would bring all new life to this game and they could probably sell a few million more. :)
