| Re: Nintendo wii console I agree with the KiwiBird's opinion, though (and seriously, when did "sterile" become "interesting?" Controversy keeps us all sane). Unfortunately, the gaming industry doesn't care much about which control pad is the better for the job when they have just invested a gajillion Yen in getting you to buy into their magic new toy. I'm sure the best way to play Wii Sports is to use the Wii-mote (or whatever it's called), but personally I'd rather use a normal controller to play a "normal" game. |

Blog Entries: 3 | Re: Nintendo wii console The Wiimote works on the PS3 (albeit on Linux and as a gyroscopic mouse). So does a wired 360 controller (again, on Linux with the correct drivers). I had an article somewhere about a British company who were developing similar controllers with different technology. The great thing about these is, though, that they're wireless with USB receivers, and they're shaped -= so if you're playing a bat and ball game, you use the bat (I think you get a little thing that you add the shaped extension to), and so on. I don't know if they got anywhere with them (the article's from early last year), but it sounded pretty fun. And if they can get the developers behind them, well, looks like the Wii might just become some last-gen hardware with a few fun little games. |

And we could just get one on Ebay if we were really desperate. --- If I had an extra couple of hundred pounds, and space to prance and dance and swing around, then I'd consider buying a Wii. Even if I didn't play it that much, it'd be great if I had a couple of friends over. I can remember all the fun we had when the EyeToy first came out... now the poor thing is set up as my webcam. |
