It's hard to push a new controller on to the market when it would seem that the 1st party developers are the only ones creating games that -really- push new concepts.
Wii Sports obviously did a god job in demonstrating emulation of the body to controller.
Metroid is honestly the best feeling shooter I've ever played. I played Halo 2 on our school network for hours a day for probably 2 straight years, and I absolutely love the Wiimote feel - I would wager most Prime haters haven't even played it and don't care about the controller one bit, good or bad.
That's just it. Traditional controllers have nothing on THE WII. Sure, it might have something on the WIIMOTE, but not the classic, sideways, or GameCube controllers.
I don't get this. It's like bashing the old Xbox large controller and ignoring the fact that a small controller exists - it's utter non-sense when other options are available.
"I'm not buying a laptop because it doesn't have a real mouse. Touch-sensitive pads don't work well for shooters are RTS games. Don't buy a laptop." - Utter non-sense. Get a USB mouse, it's an option, and then the entire debate is moot.
Holy heavens.
And besides, none of my friends hate me for liking the Wii, and liking Metroid ad bowling/tennis, and Excite Truck and Zelda, because they don't have egos - egos that say I'm cool because I own a PS3 and not a kiddie-Wii.
ESRB is not only a bad thing for consumers since it does not adequately inform anyone of anything, it labels a game as kiddie or adult. Just like the teenagers who want to smoke to 'be cool' and 'be more adult', it's the same concept.
I wonder how long it took for the thumb-sticks to catch on.... N64 controller was a gimmick back in the day too.
Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players
Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability
Therefore, Checkers > Halo
So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.
