If Nintendo never planned on having the thing from the start, why was it featured on the first trailer revealing the controller? Check around the 1 minute mark. |
How do you read "couldn't" as "never planned to"? That's "wouldn't". There is a difference.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

My point was if they went as far as featuring it in the reveal for the controller you can be sure they were seriously considering having it packaged on day one. Or in other words, it probably was small enough to fit, and while still relatively expensive, was obviously affordable enough for them to consider it. You don't introduce a product to your audience without making sure of all those details in advance.
Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

Nothing to do with the fact that the controller is split |
So true but the classic controller will still feel more natural since the older ones were centered around the snes controller and the classic controller replicates that perfectly.

As I already answered somebody in a thread some time ago, such gyroscopes already existed and were small and cheap enough at least two years before Wii launch, and Ninty perfectly knew it, as it used them in a GBA game cartridge in 2004
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarioWare:_Twisted!
Including the feature late, and making it standard equipment even later, so that less than a half of the total Wii user base has it, made 3rd parties less willing to make the effort to optionally use it in games and even less to design games for mandatory use of it. But actually it looks like it had the same effect on most 1st party games, even the majority of those released after the feature became standard on every new Wii.
I stopped reading the article when he said he has only played other people's HD systems. A one sided viewpoint like this is just plain too one sided. Writing about things you have not experienced first hand is not accurate and self formed.

That was a different kind, not what Nintendo needed for the Plus.

Not for dudes on here, but in the media I would expect them to get someone who enjoys a wide range of games and I do not think this of a most one console fans. At a smaller site like this one I guess they have a lot of reviewers with ony one console, but I still think it's not ideal.

So, what do you guys reckon? Was it a waste of time? Do you regret buying one? |
Yes it was a waste of time but I really don't regret buying it. I got a nice profit from wii and mostly from the games I bought. People seem to think that it is a good deal if you pay 50% less than what a wii game costs at a supermarket.
...
Luckily that 50% is 200% more than what you pay online.
