this stuff looks really cool. I hope they release a pc compatible usb version of this controller. though possibly this will not be a good idea for marketing the new console.

Nintendo just put us one step closer to the 3D desktop and I'm a fanboy.  Give it a rest and just admit they have something special here.


It depends on the games made to take advantage of it.  For example, the DS touchscreen could be considered special (as it was one of the first on a handheld console), but I've yet to see a game that really excells because of it.  So, until we see the games, I'm calling it a gimic.

BTW, I'm glad you're finally admiting to being a fanboy.  That's the first step to recovery.


They demo'd Metroid Prime 2 on the GC with a wired verion of the nunchuck-combo and it was a smash hit with the editors, even the Sony editors (editors who focus on Sony)...  Like I said point-n-kill (point, click and kill).  It's a console FPS-player's dream.  Gimic, I think not.  Even Metroid Prime:Hunters' touch-n-kill was a big plus when people actually PLAYED it.  This is just an extension of that ontop of it's gyro-scopic capabilities.

But I see your reasoning...
I guess it's just as gimmicky as:
the D-Pad
L/R buttons
Analog stick
wireless controllers
Eye-Toy
rumble technology
steering wheels
stereo sound
hi-res display
...and pretty much anything else that can make console game playing more immersive and better. :roll:


For God's sake, grow up people.
