BrainBoxLtd said: Easiest way around to the DS-games-on-Wii-control issue is simply let the DS be the controller. It's wireless and so is the Wii, so no wire needed. No control problems and you can see your DS games on a TV. |
The solution is right there. You don't need to buy anything other than the DS. Technically you could use a Wiimote as a pointer in place of the stylus, but having a DS controller is perfect.
Imagine playing your ds game as normal and sitting on the couch. You have the big screen behind or all your gaming goodness but when you really need to do somthign fine a miniature version is tthere to poke at with your stylus.
AS far as bandwidth issues there is no problem. Just have the ds dump the whole game to the Wii and it only has to send the controller function over Wifi not the image.
I can totally see them doing this. As the world moves twaords portable they will leverage the DS to promote the Wii. Hence DS download station.
The only thing that would be a problem is that they may fear that the DS games would hurt Wii game sales.
I am willing to bet that even if this does not happen the next version of the Wii/DS will be heavily interoperable.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
