[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread

My God, there are so many possibilities with that expansion slot.

Especially being able to slip it into a "shell".

I can't see how MS and Sony would copy this... Only Nintendo can and will make bold innovations like this.

FPS is going to rock on this.

Well if they really did patent the new controller scheme and concepts/ideas behind it, then sure patents can protect them since they are in effect for 20 years (initially). Also, I'd love to hear what Sony & Microsoft have to say about the controller. :ninja:

[Xerus]

Doh.. ! Thanks for posting that. It made me open my eyes on how FPS will be controlled :D

This is sooooo brilliant it's sick!! Love you Nintendo!

[Deathray]

Imagine if you will... a gun to hold as the skin... and a dancing type of pad to control your movement... so you control the direction of where you go by simply standing in that direction on the pad... use the gun with the buttons to do as you please. That will be beautiful.

Another concern of mine, is how well you'll be able to play these games while just sitting down and relaxed, or tilted away from your television?

[KeR]

games will be a work out....

[DigitalDude]

IGN wrote that they learned to relax after a while. It just takes som practise. Like any other controller.

[Chanser]

Looks like part of a N64 controller with the infamous Z-trigger :D.

[Xerus]

I dunno, when I play Zelda I'll be standing up running around my room slashing up stuff.

I have a feeling that this console is going to ruin Nintendo, that controller is a joke.

Did you come to that conclusion after reading the demos, or did you just look at the picture and conclude that? =/

I could imagine playing NBA with someone on that thing. You might give the dude an upper cut trying to dunk.

Have many times do we have to explain things.. You have to try it to understand how it works. Your reaction is what Nintendo was worried for... Just think outside of the box for a while and think of the possibillities.

[funnyperson1]

I love Nintendo, exactly for stuff like this. Seriously, this could be amazing, the potential for games like Soul Calibur excite me. I might buy a new console for the first time since N64 (I bought an Xbox, but it was for $20 since it's slighty broken, every once in a while I get the dreaded dirty disk).

[Chanser]

You can imagine the neighbours all looking at you playing, thinking WTF?

We're becoming a more fatty or obese world, with hospitals probably using this for physiotherapy etc :o.

Right. People are confined to the way controllers are now. Nintendo wants to break that.... they wanna bust down some motha effin walls ;D It seems that people's liking to nintendo is directly related to how imaginative they are.

I just dont get the whole Nintendo thing I guess. Never really saw them as boundry pushing geniuses.

If Nintendo worry that badly about what gamers think about their products then maybe they should step back and see what works rather than using gimmicks.

Swap 'imaginative' with 'elitist trend ######' and you're half way there.
