I want a wiimote..type…thing for the 360.. now. After playing RE4 by pointing at the screen that’s the only way I want to play FPS from now on. I get all the precision of a mouse in my right hand and the steering/moving greatness (better than WASD) of an analog stick in my left hand.

Please… It’s his job to bash the Wii. What do you expect him to say: I love the Wii, you should buy it over the Xbox360? Yeah, right!

“The Power Pad and the Power Glove are just two examples of their attempts in the past.”

Power glove was Mattel, not NIntendo, but yeah, Robbie the Robot was. :)

Wii music just sounds silly. Good thing Emily is on vacation so she doesn’t have to hear it.

In fairness though, Nintendo has always been a company to push peripherals. The Power Pad and the Power Glove are just two examples of their attempts in the past.

I am not bothered by that as much as I was by their Wii Music reveal at E3 … no I will not let it go.

I think the idea is cool. Motion sensing has potential, I just think they’re not really maximizing that potential. They’re just making silly games where you flail around and hope that you win.

Am I the only one feeling Nintendo will be pioneering in the 8th generation with an emotiv-like headset for mind control of games?

I just hope they’re more substantial than actual motion sensing,which dissapoints me to the bone.

Yeah. Brawl and Mario Kart both need controllers to be played propely.

I’m beginning to lose faith in Nintendo. I’m kindof with Gosen on this one. The Wii is just full of gimmicks these days, I play mario kart on mine, but I use the GC controller because its better than using the Wiimote IMHO.
