what the hell Nintendo?

My threads about Nintendo are usually just silly ones that poke fun at them just to get a good laugh,but their are things that seriously aggravate me. Not going to go into full detail, for now wii( :lol: I made a funny) will just cover one. My biggest complaint about the wii...TO MANY ADD-ONS!!! I thought the idea of the wii-mote was to provide motion control for just about anything imaginable...guns, swords as well as wheels/handlebars and yet, they feel the need to add all these extra pieces of plastic as well....wheels,guns, guitars(granted this is necessary)swords and worst of all AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE WII!!!

Its bad enough you have all these add-ons(this is just the sports pack) and Im guess Im ok with the new Wii motion+(regardless of my belief of this needing to be their in the FIRST PLACE)and sure the WiiFit board holds potential for the future, but do you really need to sell the nunchuck separate?!?! I mean really the 360 and PS3 doesn'tsell you half of a controller. I mean if I want to get 3 more controllers for a friend I also have to get 3 more nunchucks sold separately as well! I mean yes, this would be deemed acceptable if it weren't for the fact that...MOST GAMES ON THE WII USE THE NUNCHUCK!!! Come on guys, cut us some slack.

yea the wii is crap.. and in the end u spend a lot on accessories

-nunchucks

-classic controls

-charging stations

etc

But I love Wii Play, so its chill.

How are controller addons essential parts of the Wii?BumFluff122

the guitar is just for guitar hero...you cant make a guitar out of a wii-mote(so that makes sense) as for the nunchuck...many games use it for controlling the characters...

I thought in your original post when you said certain addons are needed I thought you were talking about things like the Wii Sports addons for the controller like the baseball bat and tennis racket. How are these needed?

Are you in charge of Gamespot, NO! So don't ever tell me what I can and can not do.

The Wii comes with a Nunchuck... why would you need a second one?

Also I see a benifit, as the Nunchuck is likely to ware out, (All analog sticks do) but the remote won't... why pay 60 when you could pay 20 to replace it?

I agree that Nintendo is 'miling' it's community with the classics controlers needed to be bought for classic games, the nunchuk being sold seperately and costing an additional $25 or so apart from the main controller, and one of the other things you pointed out in the main thread but the guitar Hero controller doesn't, in my opinion, fall under that category. It's not even made by Nintendo and all the other consoles have exactly the same controller.

BumFluff122

They arent, its just find it annoying that Nintendo needs to add all these extra toys to make the wii mote feel that more "real" when that was the wii's goal in the first place. My main problem is the one you pointed out...they feel the need to milk us with selling the nunchuck sepreate for an addition $25. I mean most if not all the games need it, so why not make the nunchuck and wii-mote sold together? Its not like when you buy a 360 controller you have to buy one half and then spend an additional $25 on the other half...why cant Nintendo do the same with the Wii-mote and Nunchuck?

Then your going to have to buy four Wii-remotes too, maybe they should have a packaged deal, were you get both at once, but like I said it's cheaper then replacing the whole Wii-remote when you eventually ware the analog stick out.

It's not like the cost of the Wii-remote and a Nunchuck is much more expensive then just a Xbox360 pad, or a DualShock3.

and both Wii-remote and nunchuck only cost 6 dollars more then the MSRP of the Dualshock3... So cry me a river.

You have to buy two packages instead of one... how sad.

Well did it ever ocure to you that people rush on to a topic sometimes and make comments before the first person who found it and then you have to leave a quote just in case, obviously you didn't because you fail to think outside the box. Also, I care less about commen sense, I do stuff the way I want, would it matter if I quoted or didn't quote no, you take stuff to seriously just because you want to go by the rules, who cares if it stupid, I did it so what get over it no big deal, I though people were going to post before me and I just made a mistake what gives.

but why waste the plastic...why cant I just get them together? Its really annoying and inconvenient because all this time I was under the impression that they were because that would be the logical thing to do. Why do they feel the need to sell it separate?

you do know that nyko and I.con are not nintendo right?

the only add ons nintendo has made are the zapper and wiiwheel...neither nessesary at all...like the rest of the crap nyko and the other 3rd partys are trying to make a quick buck from.

because not all games use it and for the casuals that usually play party games and wii fit would not need the nunchuck so why make them waste 20 on it if they dont want it

the zapper didnt get a redesign so thats only 1 thing actually since the balance board is not an addon its a stand alone controller and the only other thing you could possibly add is wii speak and mabe a keyboard but they are still optional

there is this which is the normal desgine

and this which Iv seen at my local GS and nintendo was on the box

Every console has had a zapper....

Also every console from DC up has had a DDR pad if you want an add on "PS3's is coming not out yet"

"for nintendo Wii" dosen't count, if it dosen't have the official nintendo seal on it, its 3rd party. that screams 3rd party.

prove me wrong, find a shot of the box.

and i did miss the motionplus. but the balenceboard is a standalond controler. unnessesary unless i plan on playing wii fit, i don't need it. same goes for everybody

Because when your analog stick wears out, as they all do at some point, would you rather pay 20 dollars or 60 for a new one? Being that you don't have to buy the whole Wii-remote, saves you money in teh long run.

...ugg would someone(maybe blackbond he has a nack for this sort of thing) care to post a comparison of Multiplayer games that use the nunchuck as apose to games that dont...Im to lazy to do it

what would be the point if they are allready sold apart

Keenzach

convenience for new buyers and less plastic(a plus for the enviroment)

It would cost more and sell less

HarlockJC

it would cost the same as a normal controller and like I said before new buyers and people who need multiple controllers would enjoy buying all the parts they need for a controller in one convenient package. So sales not a problem

sparkypants

the wii stuff is all in one place cant get more conveniant than that and it would be more plastic since both together and seperatley would still be sold

Not when they are always sold out or hidden under all the other add-ons on wii shelves they arent.
