Nintendo Wii and RTS games, What do you think?

I personally believe the Wii would be the perfect game for an RTS game. The pointing of the Wii mote to control and direct your forces seems to be a very good mix of elements. RTS games and consoles have had a shaky past but I think because of the Wiis unique controller it may very well work.

What do you think?

Probably couldn't even run it.

As for what the TC asked, we shall see when Spore comes out for the Wii.

It could definitely work, but probably work best on a PC.

A truama center control set-up would be best. Use the pointer for...well...pointing. And then use the nunchuck control stick to toggle commands.goblaa

That's definitely possible. If I were a dev, I'd add that when you hold the Z button and moved the control stick, it moves the camera around the map to allow fast movement. I think that would work better than actually moving the pointer to the edge of the screen to move it around. Also, maybe add grouping to the C button and direction, giving you a total of 8 possible groups after selecting them with the pointer.

I think another game that will show if this works will be PES 2008 from Konami. That game is setup to control almost like an RTS and should be pretty interesting.

If people are complaining about the way Halo Wars looks on the 360.. I don't even want to imagine the results of a Wii RTS.user_nat

The way it looks on the 360? I think most of the complaints against RTS' has been about how it controls more so than how it looks. At least for me, that's the biggest qualm about RTS' on consoles.

I would definitely be different. It wouldn't have that level of depth of a pc rts though because of quick keys and the like, but it would still work better than analogs for sure.

I wonder if motion sensing could somehow be applied. I'm thinking tilt moreso than gestures.

yeah but we all know spor won't even resemble spore on the wii...the wii verison will be like harvest moon with customizable creatures changing on a single planet in a small location, mabe a planet, hopefully, it won't be a bad game, BUT it won't be spore.
