| Qays said: Anyway, by doing it this way, there are a lot of advantages - classic controllers do not need to have batteries or bluetooth, and it also opens up the possibility of 15 player games for the Wii, more than double what the PS3 is capable of (both support 7 via bluetooth, then Wii supports 4 GC and 4 classic controllers) Alas, most people haven't got screens big enough to split into 4 rows of 4 and thus this incredible feature got little support :P Classic controllers do not need to have batteries because you plug them into the Wiimote, which does need to have batteries (and for which there isn't even a first-party rechargeable battery available!). And it opens up the possibility of playing games with uselessly large numbers of players. So yeah, there are no advantages. |
Well yes, I'm not claiming that the classic controller violates conservation of energy - it's just easier (and cheaper) to have the batteries only in the Wiimote. Also you're reading comprehension isn't great, you missed something I said, ie it doesn't need bluetooth and is thus a lot cheaper :P You also misinterpreted one of my points - when I called the ability to have 15 players play a game an 'incredible feature' I meant it. It is actually one of my biggest regrets about this generation, that no-one has seized upon this incredible opportunity. Now, before you respond. Remember that not all multiplayer has to be split screen. A game like http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=21991 would be better with more people, capped only by the amount you can crowd around the TV, which should be about 20-30 with a large TV in a family living room
Also, why would i want Nintendo to start making rechargeable AA batteries? Silly Quays, these things already exist, and I already have dozens of them.
