The controller

Some like it, some think it sucks. None of us have tried it, but based on first impressions - do you like it?

Choupolo · 09-16-2005, 01:48 PM

Official first impressions - ...eh?

voted yes tho!

(reading some interesting things about the controller being sensitive to position and orientation..? could have interesting fps functionality among other things, hmm...)

including a "nunchuk" style analog unit offering the enhanced game-play control hard-core gamers demand.

Well, if I had any notion whatsoever of getting a Nintendo, it is now gone.

Well it doesn't look very functional, and I would probably get it mixed up with my TV remote, but I will not judge it as I haven't seen it in action. I remember some people at first when ps1 came out, couldn't get the hang of the controller and stuff, so I won't judge it yet.

The possibilities are endless. Looks ugly, but can't wait to try it out.
This, my freinds, is how gaming should be. Not just better graphics
same old gameplay and the same old titles. Can't effin wait.

Kudos to Nintendo for havin very large balls to get something
like that out.

Back in the days, it was like this:
NES came out: "WTF? No Joystick? How can one play without a Joystick?"
N64 came out: "WTF? A 3D Stick? How can one play with a 3D Stick?

All adaptet it, every time. If it really works out, I think both Sony and Microsoft
will ask themselves why they didn't think of that (Microsoft did, anyone remember
the "Freestyle" Pad for PC back in the 90s? I have one, it worked well).

I'm glad I can finally find more and exciting ways to play a game. Infact, it's
something I've ever fancied about. Being really the Hero of the game, rather
than just "playing" a Hero in the game.

Edit:
Before you bash the "controller", watch this video please.

if its that much like a tv remote will people lose it as much as they do their tv remote ?

It may be ugly, but its innovative, and that may keep Nintendo in the console market
