So long ago we first saw the Wii, saw the controller, heard about the revolution. To me it was so long ago that we first heard about the Wii and wondered what this little box can do. What is this thing all about. Now only a month away and we'll see if "Playing = Believing". I can't wait for it, I can't wait for the controller, I can't wait to see how it feels, I can't wait for Twilight Princess and Red Steel.
So close, yet so far.
Sixaxis: Isn't is just the best of names? I mean come on, how can you hate something called Sixaxis? I myself thought the PS3 controller would be called "PSWii-mote" but I guess I was wrong.
Sony made a pretty stupid move with the controller. See, the battery in the controller is rechargeable. But the thing is, you can't change it. Once the battery dies you got to go out and spend another $50 for a brand new controller. And people say the Wiimote is too much. Sure it's $10 more, but at least you won't have to buy a new Wiimote once the batteries dies (I got rechargeable batteries, and they don't cost $50 a whack). I think off-brand controller makers is going to have a field day with the PS3 controller. Because all they got to do is add a double A battery slot and they make money (I'm not one to buy off-brand, and I won't be buying an off-brand PS3 controller, but many people will).
Twilight Princess: Who here just loves how Joystiq jumps the gun and pisses off a bunch of people. Today they came out and said that Twilight Princess for the GameCube won't be sold in stores. Now this not only pissed off a bunch of Zelda fans (they got it bad enough having to wait for the GC ver) but pissed off a lot of Nintendo fans (I got a few friends that wasn't all that happy when they heard the news). But it turns out that Joystiq was wrong. They jumped the gun again and spit out news they had no facts on. Like how they messed up on the PS3 controller, saying you have to plug it in each time you turn it on. And like how they said Shiggy said the Wii was just a GC with a new controller. And other things. Don't get me wrong, Joystiq breaks some pretty big news. But if I can't find it on Go Nitnendo, Wii Fanboy, or The Wiire then it really doesn't matter to me. I think they should just get the facts before pissing off a bunch of people.
Oh, and I so want this...
Why? Well, it's got the Wii logo on it, and it lights up... XD
