Wii U

I sort of tried to get excited for that thing, but I really can't. It's the same reason I don't like the wiimote: I just want to be able to sit, hold my controller, and play. If I were a casual gamer who played and loved stuff like Wii Sports, then yeah, I'd be into this, but it's just not my thing.

And no, I don't really think that we need cameras, motion and voice controls for games to get even better--they've been get better for years, and controllers have changed very little in that time. I can see how some of this would be fun, and there's definitely a huge audience for it, but I'm also hoping it doesn't start getting shoe-horned into games that would be better off without this kind of thing.

Nintendo aren't creating this crap to be innovative and allow us to interact more realistically in an environment; it's to make huge amounts of money on being far more technologically advanced than anything else out there.

It really, really, really comes across to me as the next step in cashing in on a gimmick, rather than the next step in human/computer relations.


Also, fuck 'moving your game from the TV to your controller' shite. How often is that REALLY going to come in handy? I think we are all adults here who own their own god damn TVs, and don't have to worry about Da missing the ball game.



While I am at it, what's the fucking point of a sports game where you run on the spot to make your game character run in a race? Just have a freaking race outside for real - it's exactly the same. If you can't go outside you could just run around the room and save a few dollars on expensive new game hardware. This game is on Kinext or some sort of motion crap I don't know.
