Robopocalypse is out yet is it? Cause i kinda want that one too, and I think Pikmin 3 will give Swords & Soldiers a run for it's money...

The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

By the way Daemon Hatfield reviewed S&S...reason why I don't buy him saying that he think all Wii games are dumb, lol.

maybe people don't make RTS because the limitations of the wii it's self as well as the controller, and no the controller does not even come close to a mouse and keyboard and worse yet it's put it's self so far away from the dual sticks that those control schemes can't even be used.

In order for RTS to work one would need to have a very steady hand and unless your a machine you won't achieve it, because if you look at it, a mouse is always steady because it's always on the table and the hand mealy pushes it in all directions, and on DS everything is steady till you tap the screan, but the wiimote is only steady when on a table for example but then one can't use the IR to point on screen, so as soon as you pick it up to point the controller starts moving and thats because the human arms are not designed to be as steady as machines.

The only way it works well is if you go the pickman, battalion wars and overlord way, otherwise get a PC for RTS games or at least one of the HD consoles.

I've been playing C&C on the 360, and thinking this is so annoying. I wish I could use the wiimote. It's really much better than dual analog for RTS games. Keyboard is nice for short cuts, but not required. Use the wiimote for most things, and the num chuck for the keyboard like shortcuts and you are all set. The wii is more than capable of RTS games like starcraft or C&C. My hand if more steady and quick with the wiimote than trying to lign up the cursor where I want it with my thumbs.
