Metriod 3 was suppose to herald in a new era of how FPS games would be played. Is it still happening? Because I see no one screaming on how great Metriod 3's Wiimote setup is. Nor do I see developers saying; "Yeah! I want MY FPS to play just like that!!!"

MOH:H2 -- Read the IGN Review. "Better controls than MP3"

"controls that spank anything that uses dual analog". They even said that the controls are the best they've seen on a home console, pc is a different story however.

What I did see was a certain reviewer saying the controls in certain game worked so well and so accurately that it made the game too easy.

I then proceeded to find a different reviewer saying a different game trumped the previously mentioned game's controls and were better and more comfortable than anything a traditional controller could dish out.

So it's a start...

Sheep bring up sales all the time. However, Halo is a FPS, and it sold millions. Doing just fine without the wiimote mechanics.

According to Sheep - sales results in victory. Halo 3 seems to be doing just fine with out the wiimote mechanics. Meaning, you really don't need them. Yet, we are being told me are.

Nope. Sheep said sales result in victory. So, if the wiimote is the only way a FPS should be played, then how is Halo 3 doing just fine? And every other FPS? Plus, I do not see developers saying they would love the wiimote set up for their FPS.

Metroid did a very good job in representing the controls. It set the pinnacle of how it should control and feel, but keep in mind it also wasn't a FPS game with a control scheme that would adapt to all FPSes, like Halo does for console FPS. In fact MoH2: Heroes has a more Wii console FPS control scheme setup and even has the best tweaking options.

Maybe because Xbox fanboys are forced to play with analog sticks. Of course it's going to sell well regardless of what controls are being used. You should really play MP3 and see for yourself how much easier aiming can be as opposed to analog sticks.

Mmmm,... not what I was reading before Metriod 3 came out, from the Nintendo fans on these boards. But, anyway - as the previous Nintendo fans posted in this thread, it proves the Sheep have selective memory; "What? When did we ever emphasis SALES?!?" Good job.

Well, ill answer your question. It wont sell as much as halo 3, wont even come close. However, i was talking PURELY about the control scheme, which was what your topic was talking about. the revolutionary FPS on the Wii. Believe it or not, MOH:H2 is a revolutionary FPS for the Wii because of the control scheme. Single player probably sucks, and Mulitplayer will be the best we've seen on Wii.

I have a Wii and MP3,.. just got the ice missles. It's a good way to play. But, I don't see it performing industry wide changes to how FPS are played.

Well considering the only thing that Wii-mote is actually changing is how you aim, it shouldn't be drasticly different then using a standard control. I mean you still use an analog stick to move around, you still press buttons to jump and shoot. It's just you now have pinpoint accuracy aiming. If you didn't think the aiming was easy in that game then I really don't know what to tell you.....

So, why do sales matter when the Wii is selling better than a traditional console, but not when a game which uses the wiimote sells worse than a traditional FPS?

Hmm... probably because you asked about the Wiimote's potential for superior FPS control, and now you're spinning it to bring in sales.

Besides, if you see sheep so negatively, why would you stoop to their level? :?

Let's see another console that can play games like Wario-Ware: Smooth Moves, Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Actually uses tilt in a game like Mercury Madness, or Super Monkey Ball. Plays traditional games like Super Mario: Galaxy, or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Has FPS controls as precise and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, MOH: H2? And do it all with the same device.

Halo had a much bigger marketing strategy, besides it was the multiplayer in Halo not the single player that made it so popular. Metroid was always about single player and never bothered with multiplayer (with the exception of Echos), hence it was never as popular.

It's their point under question. And we get a contradition; Sales matter when the Wii VS a traditional console. Sales DO NOT matter when Metriod 3 VS a traditional FPS. Yet, Metriod 3 is a revolution. Meaning, BETTER than the traditional FPS - yet, its not selling better than Halo 3.

9.5 > 8.5

Halo wins out for several different reasons

NONE of which are controls.

Well the other people are just making it a bigger deal then it really is. I think the Wii-mote is a great control for FPS's but I don't believe it revolutionized anything. It just makes aiming easier is all.

I'm a PCgamer. Aside from possibly WarioWare all Wii does I've already seen in other games. From my perspective it's just new control method in old games.

Again - NO. Sheep have made it very clear that sales matter. So, why isn't Metriod 3 selling better than Halo 3? Since the mechanics are better? Metriod as an IP has been around since the 80s. Halo is new. Everyone knows Metriod. And this new way of playing was to revolutionize FPS. Yet, I don't see it selling better than traditional FPS. Just like the Wii is selling better than traditional console systems, why isn't Metriod 3 selling better than traditional FPS?

Halo had a much bigger marketing strategy, besides it was the multiplayer in Halo not the single player that made it so popular. Metroid was always about single player and never bothered with multiplayer (with the exception of Echos), hence it was never as popular.


Regardless, everyone knows Metriod. It's been around since the 80s. And this new

Let's see another console that can play games like Wario-Ware: Smooth Moves, Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Actually uses tilt in a game like Mercury Madness, or Super Monkey Ball. Plays traditional games like Super Mario: Galaxy, or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Has FPS controls as precise and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, MOH: H2? And do it all with the same device.

You still did not answer why Metriod 3 isn't selling better than Halo 3. You are telling me the control is better, yet no one is buying it on the level of Halo 3.

Metriod 3 was suppose to herald in a new era of how FPS games would be played. Is it still happening? Because I see no one screaming on how great Metriod 3's Wiimote setup is. Nor do I see developers saying; "Yeah! I want MY FPS to play just like that!!!"Demetri_OS

Wii mote > Dual analog.

That is how.

SER69

And that does not stand on the sales arguement. Halo 3 sales > than Metriod 3 sales. Excellent sales result in something being GREAT - according to sheep. I don't see Metriod 3 being GREAT if a traditional FPS outsells it.

It's their point under question. And we get a contradition; Sales matter when the Wii VS a traditional console. Sales DO NOT matter when Metriod 3 VS a traditional FPS. Yet, Metriod 3 is a revolution. Meaning, BETTER than the traditional FPS - yet, its not selling better than Halo 3.Demetri_OS
The only contradiction I see is the one you're hallucinating. The sheep argument is sales are important. However sales do not equal quality. You're portraying the argument as sales = quality absolutely. I guess I do see a contradiction here, though. The contradiction is you acting like you know what you're talking about when you clearly don't.

And how will it do when compared to sales of Halo 3?

What the hell does that have to do with it :|


Sheep bring up sales all the time. However, Halo is a FPS, and it sold millions. Doing just fine without the wiimote mechanics.

Mario Party sold millions. Doing just fine without the FUN.

What's your point TC? The Wii has created revolutionary FPS controls - MOH and MP3 prove that fully.

Every Mario Party game is FUN.

It's just that it's the same fun everytime.

But, they aren't selling as much as Halo 3. The sales arguement is coming from the Sheep. Now that it's used against you, suddenly it does not apply. Why is that?Demetri_OS

Hmm... probably because you asked about the Wiimote's potential for superior FPS control, and now you're spinning it to bring in sales.

Besides, if you see sheep so negatively, why would you stoop to their level? :?

1. FPS selling more on the Wii was NEVER a point from sheep. The 360 is king of console FPS's.
2. Metroid Prime 3 isn't nearly as popular as Halo and they are completely different. Metroid Prime 3 isn't a FPS, so it really shouldn't apply to your arguement.
3. That leaves MOH:H2 which was said to control better than Halo 3.
4. Halo 3 was more anticipated, popular, and was marketed farther to consumers. It's way more appealing to the casuals/masses
5. MOH:H2 is NOT a good game it just happens to control superbly (Or so IGN tells us).

If A is better than B, A will out sell B, right? Yet, YOU are telling me Metriod is better than Halo, but it's not out selling Halo. It's your logic - and it's flawed.

That's funny because I do see people starting to get fed up with Dual analog (something I think is long overdue but whatever).

Also, how long were traditional controllers (or even dual analog) out before somebody really nailed FPS controls? Wii has been out for less than a year and now they've done it with MP3 and even more so with MoH: H2. 08 and 09 FPS games on Wii will make 360/PS3 games feel archaic in design.

You must have not been in system wars long. Sheep made it clear that sales matters? What about cows last gen? Like it or not, sales and games both matter when it comes to a consoles success.

As for Metroid prime 3 selling better than Halo 3, that would never have happened. Metroid didnt sell as well becasue of many reasons.
- It didnt launch globally like Halo 3 did, only launched in some regions.
- Doesnt have the media success that is "Halo".
- Halo 3 was marketed to DEATH, and it worked. Without the marketing H3 would not has sold as much as it has today.
- Metroid prime never have a good track record when it comes to sales, unlike the halo series.
- Halo has more appeal to people than MP does. Halo can appeal to "Hardcores" and "Casuals" -- just like GTA, Mario, Etc -- MP caters to the hardcore Metroid Fan (like myself) and Nintendo fans, who enjoy anything good from nintendo.

EVERYONE has answered why Metroid 3 isn't selling better than Halo 3. What YOU have not done is give us a reason why CONTROLS ALONE should determine sales?

Your logic is flawed :| Let's take a great game that sold poorly and a bad game that sold amazingly. Is it fair to say the game that sold well is the better game? You can't use sales of Halo 3 and say just because it sold more then MP3, the wii-mote made no impact. The sales logic is flawed as it no way confirms quality of any kind.

I'm a PCgamer. Aside from possibly WarioWare all Wii does I've already seen in other games. From my perspective it's just new control method in old games.

I'm was a pc only gamer for 10 years and consoles never interested me much until the wii. Most games for the wii definitely can't be played on other consoles. it's becuase of the wii i got into console gaming. Wii mote revolutionize the console FPS controls but seeing some ignorant people mentioning the sales of Halo 3, the only great FPS games for the wii are MP: 3 and MoH:H2. Does metroid appeal to gamers who like halo? NO. Does MoH:H2 appeal to gamers who like CoD4? No. There are only two games and these games aren't popular. nintendo does bad marketing in my perspective like not letting the press play bwii single player until it's released. whereas halo 3 i don't need to talk about it. think before you post stupid statements.
