Wii's controls are a one time thing.

its good to be able to see into the future...

The Wii controller is fun when playing Wii Sports, but that's about it for me. I'd take my Xbox 360 controller over the Wii controller any day.

Every 5 years, Nintendo does something that permanently changes the market. SNES was shoulder buttons, N64 was the analog stick, GC was Pressure sensative trigers. I'm not saying that no other company innovates or is creative, but what Nintendo does that may sound bizzare at first usually ends up fitting into gaming just fine.coreygames

Your post sounds plausible and makes use of facts, unlike the one made by the topic creator. I applaud you.

Retro Studios has more thaninnovated the waythe wand partof the Wii-mote is used, and that's only what we've seen. It's the 3rd party devs that keep coming up with crappy unintuitive ways to utuilize the Wii-mote that annoys me.

I do the same as best as I can yet also indulge in the occasional lol. Nevertheless, I have to ask...were you being sarcastic just now with that post directed towards me or not? It's kind of hard telling over the net. =p

Yeah, that is why Sony copied it six months after they unveiled it.Willy105

I find it funny how people are saying that the Wii's controler is "innovative" and "new". Sure, it is all of those things, but do you really think it will spark anything. Nintendo's next console won't use Wii controls, I bet. Also, no companys have realy caught on to the bizarre idea. Before you bash me, I do have a Wii...I just don't appreciate it very much.NAPK1NS

How can you sit there and say that, when the Wii is wiping the floor with the other consoles in sales? Obviously the controller is at least *somewhat* good, if over 5 million people are using it right now. Now, if you had made this prediction BEFORE the Wii came out, then I wouldn't say anything to you. BUt 6 months AFTER, when it still cant be found on store shelves? jeez...I hate idiotic posts like this.

I'll find it hard to go back and play RE5 on a joypad again. the Wii version of RE4 is more fun.

Perhaps capcom will create a Gcon type controller to play it on. who knows

And I praise you for that. We need more sensible people like you around here. Keep it up, mate.

[QUOTE="coreygames"]No, just look at my post history. Actually, if you look back in it far enough, you should be able to pin-point the post I started to use this internet voice. I got banned for, if I remember correctly, 14 days. After that, I decided to fight trolls, fanboys, and flamers by resonding as I have been.Hexagon_777

That's right.

If you want to see some good examples of the Wii-mote in action, look at the first party games like Wii Sports, Wario Ware, and Super Paper Mario.Tylendal

i think you are wrong.

i have all three consoles, and i wish i could play some of the game son PS3 and 360 with the wiimote.

It's MUCH more intuitive than the dual analog controller, they are just weird when you actually think of it (mouse and keyboard are even weirder)

They made the same argument about Home PCs, analog sticks, wireless controllers, and Halo.mathew952

I think if you just play with the wiimote enough, get really good at it, and really look at it objectively, you'll see it's a good thing. I find it funny that people say that the wiimote is very accessible. I feel you have have to learn quite a lot in terms of its true limitations and abilities. That's why people hate wiiboxing. I have to admit that game is a bit of a farce concerning the controls, but if you get good at them you'll have a blast. Very often though, if you look at yourself, the motions you're doing dont resemble boxing, especially when you're tapping the air repeatedly, waiting for you mii to throw the right punch.

I would still rank it up there with the best games on the wii, much less wiisports

bcause the mind easily adapts to all kinds of control. you can learn to control games with a wet towel if you want. doesn't mean it's immersive......

if you think for a minute (try), don't you think pointing at the screen in a FPS is a little more natural than strafing with button combinations and a mouse?
