OK show me another controller that looks like a Wiimote before it came out. While you are at show me a controller which has a pointing mechnism like the Wiimote. |
Actually, I have a Philips CD-i 220, the video game console that couldn't (it's the one with those awful Zelda games), has a wireless controller, with a pointing mechanism like the wiimote. How do I know? Because I have every single console in the Universe, and I have three wiimotes, and one of those CD-i controllers, and they both have that pointing mechanism. Cool, huh? But still, PS360 should not be copying the Wii. It's just wrong.

That's the best picture I could find. I would take a picture of mine, with my camera, but I just really don't want to. Oh, and the CD-i counts. Even though it failed against the others, miserably, it's still a gaming console, because Wikipedia says so, and don't give me crap that Wikipedia isn't a perfect source. I know it's not, but obviously, reasons for it, not being so, would not be that it states the CD-i is a gaming console, because unassailably, it is. So there you have it. There is no true wiimote that came out before, but this CD-i controller is the closest thing.
The CD-i controller feels really cool. Wait a second. It's nothing like the wiimote. There's like this circular thumb pad you press in a circular direction, that sends the signal through infrared. You don't just wave it around. It's kind of similar, but nothing like it. Huh. Okay. Scratch that. I'm posting this anyways, because for damn's sake, I spent so much time writing it, I don't want it to go to waste, even if it's wrong.
Oh, and seriously. X-mote, and PS3mote? (Sigh)... No...
