The Nintendo Wii Controllers? Yay or Nay?

[ghost master]

Wow... this, IMO, really is gonna be pretty bad. Everyone's used to two-handers, and getting used to this will take forever. And SSBM and Sonic Gems? Major problems. And if you can't pause but have to put down the controller, it'll mess up the game. I'll have to wait til it comes out, though.

They have a start and select button I think you could pause. Also they would think in advance of things like this. Also there are going to be add ons like the joystick add on that you saw.

I dont see why you are all complaining about the controller >_>. In case you havent realized yet, you can use the GC controller or use the new addon for third party games nintendo is making. Hey.. at least is better than having a banana style controller !

Nay this controller makes ps3's boomerang I mean controller look like a holy shrine.
Microsoft has the best controller hands down followed by the boomerang and then the remote.

True Celebii but I doubt you can play revolution's games with it

 

[BonzaiMudkip]

I don't think it'll be used for the revolution games.it might be used for that other thing that lets you play the old skool games.I'm not really sure,but i hope i'm right.If i'm not,how am i gonna hold the damn thing!?

I kinda like this new controller thing as it's different but don't pay attention to me because I've never played most of these systems. Oh yeah, Shiny charizard I talked to you about this in school but to refresh your memory but you can't double post. Edit instead after you post

You can play the Revolution's games with the add-on. Researching things like that are good ideas, you know. Along with reading about how it can make other genres work or work better, or reading up on what people that have handled the thing say about it.

On topic, I welcome this innovation.

Shiny Charizard, dun double post. >.>

Anyways, I think Nintendo's doing a bold thing, here. Sure, not that many people will Like the New Remote Control Controller, but I'm willing to give it a shot. =)

Besides...

I can see offline SSBR Battles being extremely chaotic with thing, if that's any sort of consolation. XD

And you can pretty much count out games like Final Fantasy, GTA, Resident Evil being ported now, games are going to have to made exclusivly for it, not ported. Whether you see that as a good or bad thing.

Why? Final Fantasy all you need is a D-Pad and two buttons, Resident Evil will be perfect for it, slashing your knife and aiming will be much easier and GTA only requires a Analogue stick and a two buttons

Remote? Read the articles. It's a motion sensitive mouse with a slot for addons, such as the control stick added onto it.

<EDIT> Sorry for being rude up there... fixed it!

Oh hey Lawrence. Forgot about the double posting rule I won't get banned for it will I. Anyway on topic I don't see me using this controller playing an action/adventure like zelda on this (unless its the hack n slash mini-game they showed at the Tokyo Game Show), explain to me how I can explore hyrule using a remote control (or motion sensitive mouse whatever you call it), you need two hands to play a game like that and BTW Paradox GTA is only on ps2 and xbox. It could have come to nintendo but I think revolution's controller will sway rockstar (the makers of GTA if you didn't know) and many of the other 3rd party publishers away. I can't imagine how difficult developing games to match the controls will be. I also wish nintendo would stop this innovation crap. Innovation has its place in gaming but if you focus to much on it you will limit your gameplay. DS for example only had two great games IMO AWDS and Meteos ( I expect Diamond and Pearl to be great though) the rest of the games were either shortened or what you would call tech demos (I will explain this better if any one comments)this is because nintendo chose innovation over gameplay. Nintendo fans and Die-hards don't get me wrong I love nintendo I own a 64, Cube, pocket, color, advance, sp, and DS but I just don't like the path nintendo has been taking.

Using the control stick you hold in your left hand, duh...

 

[The Battousai]

Had to do this

Shiny Charizard Vs. Shiny Clefairy
Belly drum then earth quake
Clefairy is PWN'D

Just for laughs nintendo fan
(this comment was not meant to be insulting)

anyway that control stick was an add-on and may not be used in all the games
and even if it is the layout of the controller is very weird

 

[Tendo128]

Do people here even realize that it's motion sensitive, or are they too caught up in it's appearance to actually bother reading about what it's potential?

It sure seems that way with everyone who's said nay.

LOL. In between Belly drum I use Metronome, which in turn...
"ShiningClefairy used Splash."

I hate my luck... BTW it's ShiningClefairy not Shiny Clefairy.

Well, when Iwata revealed it, he was holding the remote part and the joystick part, meaning they will probably be packaged together. I have doubts about there being any games at all that use just the remote thing, and not any of the attachments.

 

[The Battousai]

I like people like you Shining Clefairy, you support your opinion without getting too angry(some-people get so angry they start throwing death threats at me for thinking differently then them) eventhough the first time you contradicted me you cursed me out.

And to Tendo 128 I know the controller is motion sensitive although I forgot to mention it when I talked about the Zelda mini-game shown at the TGS.
Motion-sensitivity though won't change how I think or how many people think about the controller. You know even with the add on, all the layout and features of the controller are far different than a traditional pad. Game designers(more specifically 3rd party designers) are going to have to change their entire game setup to match the controller's layout. It'll be pretty difficult to play sports or racing games (popular among casuals believe me the only genres people in my school talk about, those and FPS's) companies that make those games like EA to change and are usually to lazy to change anything in their games. Those companies will probably just move to ps3 and 360 which offer a traditional control layout, (as weird shaped as ps3's controller may be) thats a huge chunk of the market swayed away from revolution. Nintendo's experiments will hurt them more than you can imagine

I like this discussion .

It's quite hard to avoid getting angry in the face of massive ignorance such as "Game designers(more specifically 3rd party designers) are going to have to change their entire game setup to match the controller's layout."

 

[ShiningClefairy]

*Agrees with ZoraJolteon* Even if the designers can't fit it, Nintendo is releasing that shell controller as an attachment. It's more like a traditional controller.

Sheesh... Doing a little research about the topic wouldnt hurt you know>_>! First of all, all of your reasons are flawed. For one, nintendo is making an addon that allows you to play the standard third party games. Second, the controller is perfect for racing and FPSs. For racing games, just tilt your controller to turn;For FPS, use the analog attachment to move, the remote to change view, and pressing A or B to shoot. Also, with this different type of controller.. It means nintendo may get some really exclusive third party games. It really has great potential. Dont say things when it isnt even out yet and you dont know what it could fully do.
