Aiight Ive calmed down and thought it over and finished the article, and shits dope. LOL.
It's easy to believe that third parties could be alienated by this device. However, the good news is that Nintendo has thought of that potential drawback and taken measures to address it. The Big N has developed a conventional controller shell that, according to executives, looks more like a Wave Bird. The "pointer" remote can be inserted into this shell so that more traditional games can be enjoyed as they always have. Obviously, it will be this shell that enables players to experience Super NES and N64 games on the platform. The even better news is that because the sensory functionality of the device remains operational even when it's in the shell, games like Madden could actually be expanded. Imagine, for instance, having access to all of the controls of a standard controller plus 3D movement options. Icon passing just got a whole lot easier.
Thats the saving grace, it will _still_ work like a normal controller if need be.
I just dont like the idea of using one hand to play games, and bending my wrist that way for extended periods of time doesnt sound like my idea of a good gaming experiance.
In the end I doubt many games will use this option, it seems more like a good idea for puzzle games and games on a track (house of dead type games), because it seems too hard to control a character around a screen. Sure it would be good to shoot in FPS, but how do you use it to walk around hall ways? Grab onto a wall and drag yourself around?
Hmmm... if they come up with a couple fun games, I may actually buy the Nintendo just to play around with them using this controller, and thats a good thing, because I wasnt even considering a Nintendo this gen.
Looks like I may have to save up for all three now.
