    The dualshock is actually designed to be held in your hands like a controller pad should be, it has grip handles and you use thumbs to toggle the sticks and hit the buttons, whilst with this controller it's a basic rectangle shape that's going to cause alot of diiscomfort in the fingers, it's about half the size of a dualshock, which would make it harder to toggle the analogs. For a kid to find comfort from that type of pad they must be at least 7-8-9, even 10-ish, people who have larger hands wouldn't find comfort from that. Nintendo are going to need to release other controllers to stop sales going down from teenagers. It's not that hard, the N64 and NGC controllers were well thought and designed. I even prefered the Sega Megadrive control pad to a NES/SNES control pad.
    Well then, we're done here. Be an classic lover.

    Nintendo at least dares to do something new. This new controlelr of teh Wii is great, IMO.
    And Sony? Yeah Sony... Still the old controller... PS3 is nothing new. Just an upgraded version of PS2. Nothing new. No new controller, nothing. Oh yeah, better gfx. That's not what counts these days. It's gameplay.

    Well, don't shoot me, but I think Nintendo is Pwning Sony these days.

    Then how come nintendo are looking pretty similar to Sega's situation right now? they're blowing lots of cash trying to keep up with Sony and Microsoft. If this gets worse they're going to struggle or even die out. It's more likely to happen to nintendo as their situation is more similar. Graphics are begining to become alot more important these days, nintendo struggle in that place, just hope they find a solution soon enough. Microsoft are showoffs, most of the stuff they use in their systems are hardly used. If you took away the unused pieces in an XB or XB360 you'd get something tiny.

    *points to Bladen* There are SOME, they are rare, but there are some SONY fanboys which make me sick.

    look I'm not contradicting myself, if I find Nintendo's controllers to be better than SONY, then so be it, that doesn't mean I'm not getting the PS3 which I am, at launch(600 bucks and all).

    And if there's a company who's wasting TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS of money is Microsoft. *points to DS sales and the fact that Nintendo won't loose much making Wii's, unlike Microsoft*

    you start calling people sick once you know you cannot come up with an annoying crappy little comeback? Don't try to spark an argument, it'll make you look stupider. You post like a nintendo fanboy yet say you also like sony, which seems unlikely as a post of yours about sony like you post about nintendo has not been seen, that is how you're contradicting yourself.


    Now that's done and over with, let's just ignore DK and try getting onto a more technical and useful topic, instead of having more crap pouring into a well made thread.

    If the PS3 released it's original controller you could stab the Wii controller to bits with it!

    Companies steal from eachother to get better, if that never happened technology would still be victorian, or we'd still be with Atari systems in our homes.

    the Wii controller seems way too small to be superior to the NGC's, if this is the best they can come up with then it's a dreamcast deja vu.

    Bladen, I'm not going to argue that the Controller is better, since that is a matter of opinion (in most cases), but if the Rectangle you speak of is the Remote, then you must know the following: The remote is not 2 handed, and you grip the bottom of it. Once you grip it, your index finger should be on the B Trigger, and your thumb should be on the big green A button or the D-Pad. Then, there's a "Numchuk" you add on to it, which you hold with your other hand, presumably your left hand.

    Again, this is not to argue with you. It's just the way you seemed to describe the Wii Controller made me feel like I had to write that to you. o_o

    About the SNES Style controller in the middle...

    So far, we don't actually know if it will be bundled with the Wii. However, I think it will, as it seems to be very much like a controller to be used with the Virtual Console. And I must say, I am impressed with it. It looks quite nice to me. n.n

    I'm talking about the controller, geez, I'm not going to play for 18 hours a day by flicking the remote....

    The actual controller is basically rectangular but curved, the remote is oblong shaped though. It would be pretty funny to game with a remote control. I edited my posts earlier to stop future confusion about which controller I was talking about.

    Oh, alrighty then. n.n Well, I can understand the controller in the middle being uncomfortable for someone with big hands. Since I am a youngling AND a midget, I can use it easily. Plus, I always liked the SNES controller. A lovely controller that was.

    Um, Nintendo is nowhere near bankruptcy, Bladen. If anybody's going to go bankrupt, it's Sony. Even though the PS3 is $500-600, they'll still be losing money for each one they make.

    I like the look of them. ^^ I haven't got a nintendo since N64, so I might just get this one. ^^

    Defenately not going to get a PS3 at its current price, that's for sure.

    Edit: And yes, as Meta-Knight said, stop assuming and making crap up, Bladen.

    What will or will not be packed in with the Wii at launch hasn't been decided (or revealed) yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did include one of these in there. When I first saw it, I was disappointed that they placed the left analog at the bottom ala the PS controllers, but now that I think about it, this thing is mainly going to be used for Virtual console games, which mostly use d-pad, so I guess it was a smart move to keep the d-pad front and center. I wouldn't be surprised if some Wii games used this pad either... or the GCN's. It's been hinted at by the creator of Smash Bros that SSB:Brawl will use the GCN controller.

    That's actually very much wrong. Sony will still be getting chunks of money from TV's, games, PSP stuff. Nintendo may not be near bankruptcy but they're nowhere near as rich as Sony and microsoft as they are mainly a gaming company, the reason The Wii ([img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] name btw) hasn't got as advanced gadgets as the other consoles is because they haven't the money or people to do them.

    Whoever said I'm making up crap is the biggest [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] in this god damn smurfing thread. I've had enough of people launching [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] at me, if you cannot accept my opinion then get the hell out of this thread. I'm trying to deliver my opinion and all I'm getting back is bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].

    This maybe a bit over the top but I've had enough, could a mod close this thread now, because the amount of bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] here is way over the limit.

    What you stated wasn't your opinion. You stated a fact and someone said you're wrong.
