If they can make the wireless joystick vibrate I think the women will be fighting over this one.

[Oscar Da Grouc]

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

does it have an option that allows you to turn off the movement from the controller? using the controller like a sword/steering wheel/shovel (that's for all those "animal farm people), would get annpying after the first five minutes.

yeah, geez, gamers don't actually want to have to MOVE their bodies - that defeats the purpose!

Reminds me of a Mac!

that's sort of the point of the system. If you want same old, same old, get an xbox or a ps3.

exactly!

if i wanted to shoot luigi (that smug little bastard) with a blue turtleshell i'd just head down to the nearest go cart track and put myself in sixth place.

this is always assuming that luigi can even make to to first place, though.

then that's a pretty stupid point, because if i can't use a regular (same old same old) controller i'm not going to get the system. and i'm pretty sure that there are other people like me out there. i know i'm not unique.

i have always been a firm believer in having a good gamecube as backup;.. great for party games like mario party and cool for zelda and mario kart.


im sure that the wii will follow suit and be a good backup system for when i get bored fighting zombies and killing aliens and other such grown up things.

[sidekick]

i think this system is funny. people are in their houses, using the controller like a bat, or using it like they're throwing a baseball or rolling a bowling ball..

just go outside and fucking do it! you're halfway there!

Actually, from what I've heard from some buddies at Radical, the SDK is almost EXACTLY the same from the Gamecube, just faster and more inputs. Which makes backwards compatibility a cinch, and really not all games are going to require use of the gyroscopic features of the controller.

Have you freaking looked outside recently? eff that ess. It's freaking recordbreaking rain out there!

[Bentley]

not only that but can your "bat" slice through zombies or shoot villians?

[crookedking]

ok, we've come to the conclusion that playing nintendo is better than going outside.

what's next on the agenda? is colgate really better than crest?

There is a 'regular' Wii controller for "classic gaming".

[crookedking]

i knew nintendo wasn't being run by idiots.

touche.

however, when i watched the demo online there was things like bowling. i mean, come on, you're so close to actually bowling, you might as well just go out and bowl!

and humiliate myself in front of my peers and strangers.

no thanks.

you've just sold me on buying this system.

[sidekick]

humiliation is a healthy part of our society.
