| Kirb-e, I'm not talking about the fate of the company, but I'm stating my won reasons for not buying a Wii, which I think are shared by many people. I really think it's wishful thinking to have a game machine that appeals to both fanatic gamers and people who never play. Like Codie already pointed out, hardcore gamers play for hours on end, and it doesn't look to be comfortable to play for that long. |
Ah, I understand. But when I mentioned the fate of the company, I was talking about the opinions of many Nintendo fans when the controller was first revealed. I'm sorry I didn't point that out because it made it seem like I was talking specifically to you.
However, it is a remote control after all. It seems pretty light to me, but then again I haven't had a chance to play with it.
Now, to answer your question (which I meant to do in the last post but completely forgot to do)

| Finally, here's a question to you all: if you could choose, would you rather have a traditional controller or the remote control for the Wii? (I know some games can be played with GCN controllers or the controller shell, but because of the remote most developers are going to use it for the sake of using it) |
Well it absoulutely depends on how developers use this new controller. Like you said, if they make games for the sake of using the pointer, then that nullifies the existence of the Wii. But lets say that developers do make good use of the controller and games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 were released. I would use the Wii-mote in an instant, as long as there are good games that bring new ways to play that are exciting and not pointless (and by pointless, I mean tapping the screen to zoom in on a map on a DS game for example) Then sure! Did I answer your question or was that a little broad?
