Based on the Amazon reviews they have fixed that problem in 2008.
Seriously, if you think any add-on is a good add-on then im guessing your one of the people who helps third-party developers keep making this crap by paying for it.
The Wii Remote is if im not mistaken probably the best controller..
Its innotative, comforatable, yet, fun!
The PS3 controller in my case, was awkward to hold, and the triggers were a nono.
Until Devs actually utilize the controller fully with games, and having the option ability to switch between that controller and the standard one, it's not the best controller.
The thing about PS3 and 360 controller is, its comfortable, easy and effective for gaming, and we don't have to flail our arms like a bird to play it. Sometimes the easiest design is better.
While this is my opinion, as is yours about the Wii Remote, I hardly call it the best. It's unique and innovative, sure, but that doesn't make it the best.
Wheres your social life? I make aremark on how I LIKE my control, and youre all like
Nope too bad Wii mote sux u gots to wave your arms around.
Dont even say shit, because you obviously dont play Wii gamess.
You only Wave you arms in games like Smaba De Amingo or Sports games.
Others requiure a little shake.
And, point and click is the most used feature, so, sit down, shut up, and go get a girlfriend.
Ever heard of Myspace?
Also, when you "are tired and want to relax and play games" play a game that doesn't involve you flailing your arms around. All games like "Mario and Zelda" involve in terms of motion sensing is shaking the Wii remote a tad or pointing. And if your too lazy to do THAT, I suggest you get some help.
And then you, yes YOU, complain that all you do in Wii games is just "shake the controller" and that every game should have "1:1 sensing".
I like the Wii remote. Flailing my arms around is fun, and I like fun things.
If it wasn't for the Wii Remote, the Wii would have less BS shovelware we see today. Exactly how is that a bad thing?
"flailing your arms around" can be done with a pencil in your hands, or nothing at all. If that's so fun, then do it without the remote.
Dark Arcanine, I thank you for proving my point. You can't claim the comfort of a controller to be a strong point if it's actually debatable in the first place.
Linkerd: u have no social lifez, cuz ur not an idiot nd dunt play wii games, ur obv not cewl like me!
But I don't think it's a gimmick. You might aswell say all video games are a gimmick, becuase recently, you people makie it seem like they are.
Another point, why would you actually make large changes to the PS2 controller, considering it's one of the best controller designs out there.
Finally, I'm actually laughing right now at "you can't blame them for trying something new". Actually, I can. If you try something new and it fails, do you just sit there and say "well we tried something new, so you can't blame us for *bleep*ing up"?
Oh come on, the PS3 controller is just lolworthy compared to the Wii Remote. Silly boy.
@Dark Arcanine You did prove his point. Linkerd said the contoller is fun and comfortable, I said that's up for personal preference or isn't widely accepted. Fatal Error stated it wasn't comfortable and yet you said just because you don't find it so, doesn't mean someone else isn't. Linkerd made a statement like he's throwing his words as facts and universally accepted when you just proved his point on how it's not comfortable and is actually quite debatable. Which doesn't make it a strong point in the first place.
As for the PS2 and PS3 controllers, none of them are any different to PS1 controllers. Except PS2 and PS3 had standard analog sticks, has rumble(now standard). PS3 controllers have different L2/R2 buttons that look more like triggers, and has Sixaxis capability. That's the difference. Sony doesn't make wild new design controllers, they keep it the same design cause it's been selling like mad the last two generations and actually a nice design and controls are integrated very well. I can't say the same with the Wii remote and it's capabilities on all Wii games.
As I stated before, sometimes the simplest and similar design will always be better. That's why 360 isn't that different to its predecessor except width and fits better to the hands.
Quote two is saying it's not comfortable, and debating the first quote.
Quote 3 is saying just because one may find it unformtable doesn't mean its not comfortable for another.
Quote 4 is saying you've proved his point that you can't base a controller on comfort, and stated in such a way that it's universally accepted when its clearly debatable in the first place. Meaning using its comfortable isn't a good argument for a point as to why the controller is good, when some will not agree, which makes it to a taste.
That's like me saying PS3 controller kick all others cause it has Sixaxis and implements it better. That's not a good reason why it's good, cause for one its an opinion, and two not everyone will see it that way. The way quote 1 is making it like he's speaking for everyone when he says the comfort is why it kickass and beats others. That's why you proved that that point is debatable and not a strong argument to use, which what Fatal was getting at.
Last is Quote 5, it stated he completely ignored the feeling of it in his hands, when he just stated that it's not comfortable noting he has used it in his hands, making that statement completely irrelevant and like you didn't read his post.
In other words, his point is, comfort shouldn't be used to describe why the console is better when its debatable. Thus you proved his point.
And saying its not universally accepted it not comfortable is the same thing, its DEBATABLE, thus NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT.
I'll take the pink one plz.
Lol, at the Sword and shield pack, it looks ugly and it looks like it would be hard to use.
