Hi Winbane, thanks for ur reply. Not that it would definately happen, but i think with some creativeness a rather cool fighting game could be made, A lot of Developers are still developing games in the way the developed for the classic controllers, i think if they can just step back and change thier approach, a kinda less is more approach, they can build up on that and can create somthing cool, who knows!

 Welcome to the VGChartz.

 I think it can be done. But so far me... for fighters...joystick and 4 to 6 buttons work the best.


How about moving your character with the joystick and waving the wiimote certain ways for special moves? Punch and kick with a + b.

Is it me or has this thread gone completely off topic



why does every thread degenerate into a GGE vs windbane trollfest? Honestly guys (and girls), let us have a reasonable conversation in at least one thread ;)



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

@Windbane: Forecast channel is the best way to check the forecast at home. You see, it doesn't take many seconds to enter the the forecast channel. Even if you would use the google weather, it still is faster with Wii than PC. You see, PC takes a lot of time to start up. Before you have PC running, you have checked the weather, read news headlines and few news. And as i said, it's the non-gaming features. Even if you wouldn't play a single game with Wii, it still is perfect STB for middle-aged and elderly people for news, weather and internet. I have used the MHP digiboxes, which basically is meant to do the same (although, MHP was DOA), and Wii does it all better and more easilly. So, when it comes to Wii sales, it's hard to say how much it will sell, since the audience where Nintendo is going to expand, is unproven territory, but definately Wii will outsell PS3 and 360. Propably combined.
The reason why i equaled PS Eye and Balance board, is that they do both have potential and neither have yet proved it's potential. And as a sidenote, theoretically you can do the same with Wii Remote, that you can do with PS Eye.
There's few things people seem to be forgetting when comparing KB+mouse to Wii Remote+Nunchuck, Keyboard and mouse misses analog control, 3D positioning and acceleration/twist detection, which WR+N has double. Please people, play the Metroid Prime 3 and then come to tell me how much superior KB+mouse is, it only has more buttons, but in every other way it's inferior.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Obviously certain posters just don't like civilized discussions.

Really? I kinda got the impression that they were secretely crushing on each other, and trying to hide it behind a ruse of agressive bantering over opposing consoles.

 



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
