The Wii Controller

Re: The Wii Controller

There will be some adjusting.

Dispite demo's it will not feel "right" with everyone.

Just like fighting games have developed a "buffer system" for people who have less then perfect timing (doing quarter circle 3x gets you dragon punch-classic idea) to doing a combo before the first punch on the controller.

Same with wii. Adults might(or may not) have an easier time, getting timing down, but the younger people might be harder to get used too.

Motion sense is slower then buttons, simply because of the on-off of a button and the xyz of 3d space.

Slashing something 27 times might make your character die a quick death, because it'll interpret it as something else.

Some might see it as part of the "skill" of a certain game, others will see it as an annoyance, and developers will groan, when they forget to beta test it well enough.

Of course there must be some hard limits to how accurate the wii-chuck is going to be. Hopefully it's not too slow, as that would just be annoying as heck.

Re: The Wii Controller

I have my doubts about that "remote control" as a controller thing. It's bound to make gaming more difficult in my opinion.

I await the newspaper articles that announce "Eye injury caused by Wii controller " because somebody was a bit too enthousiastic.

They have wrist straps for those enthusiastic people.

Re: The Wii Controller

I think this is a great innovation.


Makes game a little more fun, imagine WARIOWARE with this.

Come on, if that's not the most fun ever, what is?

Re: The Wii Controller

Thanks for the clarification, Joester.

That actually doesn't look too bad...
Let's hope this sensor can span a 42".
@_@

The sensor does not have to equal the size of your television. My god I have a 61" HDTV and that would be insane! The biggest issue I see with this is distance. With my tv we have to sit a decent distance from it, and I use a wireless keyboard with my 360. When we first got it, we found that the distance of our couch was too far from the sensor. It was easily solved with a usb extension. Now I wonder when we get the Wii if we will have the same issue with that sensor. There has to be a optimum range and I'm just curious as to what that will be. I certainly don't want to have my Wii sitting on my living room floor in front of my tv in order to play it!

Well, we're talking legendary Nintendo manufactured goods. The same one that powered my friend's GBA when he backed up his Camaro over it by accident and it still played ... >.>
