^^ That's not the issue at hand, making the assumption that dual analogue is better for FPS because they are more popular on HD systems is. Do you think perhaps there might be some other factors to consider? That kind of logical leap is analogous to me claiming power over the sun because it rises each day at the same time i do.

Okay... factors. Perhaps people who primarily play FPS games think the Wiimote is gay. Obviously the best FPS games are found on HD consoles. However the HD market may not be as intrigued by the Wiimote. I had a Wii and I hated it... I can't be the only one.

Now I await the response of a Wii fanboy... letting me know I am the only one.

Contrast this with discussions of Unreal Tournament (for AI), Gears of War and Killzone 2 (for graphics), and Halo (number of mods and players online).


Obviously Conduit would be interesting for the controls.

As a Wii owner (although also PC360 gamer), I never let myself get too excited about The Conduit, due to it coming from a mediocre developer. I do recognize that it could turn out to be a great game though.

Well lets say a FPS game allowed for both 360 and Wii owners to play the same game online. Like some sort of online death match such as CoD World at War. Who do you think has the odds of performing better, people playing on a 360 control or people using a Wiimote?

 

Wii users would destroy 360 users, no contest.

Pointing devices always beat a gamepad.  We can move faster, we can aim better.

 

 

Buah ha ha ha ha!  You are seriously delusional if you believe that.  You obviously don't really know what you're talking about, regardless of whether you really did own a Wii at some point. 

Dual analog = archaic in FPS.

Considering FPS games sell better on consoles with dual analog... I guess the masses have spoken.

 

 

Wow you really are stuck in la la land aren't you? The masses also love T-pain and Lil Wayne so I guess they are the pinnacle of musical excellence according to your goofy logic.

 Its called

splitfish Frag FX2 Controller (PS3)

Thats much better than using the Wiimote for FPS's

For no reason. It looks like a generic shooter.

By that standard, there are very few shooters people could get excited about.

Besides, The Conduit is certainly not a generic shooter. Its controls alone ensure that. It could still be a crappy shooter, but certainly not a generic one.

You are not the only one, but you are the minority.

What is so special about the controls on TC? Isn't that pretty much the same as any other wii-fps:s?

The A.S.E will also keep it from being a generic shooter. Unless you consider lots of games, such as half life a generic shooter.

You forgot to mention that it's better than a gamepad.  Splitfish is basically a mouse, with some nice analog movement instead of a keyboard.

Controller superiority still stands as follows:

Mouse > Wiimote > Gamepad
