Boy oh boy, that's a thing.
And silly looking enough for Nintendo to actually do.
Shit.

It's really not, from a design perspective it makes no sense to put a screen under the section you'll hold on to.

The Nintendo controller thread is a lot of fun.
People are taking it very seriously.
What did Jeff say?

The big black box just makes me think of the Coleco Chameleon.
That was a fun ride.

It just looks like someone took the patent pictures and made it. Patent pictures are specifically not identical to final designs though.

I have no expectation one way or the other. All I can say is every single Nintendo home console controller has baffled me since the N64.
This is where I am at. I could believe it either way.

GameCube controller is the best though.
N64 was pretty good.
you are the best though.
I mean, the WiiU Gamepad is just a modern-ass controller plus a screen. It's not that tough.
Also, play Bayonetta 2 with the Pro Controller. That shit is tight.

Pro controller for action games and tablet for everything else is fantastic.
The Wii Remote was not, is not, and never will be anything but pure garbage. The piece of shit couldn't even adequately control games specifically for it. It was a terrible half baked idea that caught on with people despite how awful it was because it had one feature that they liked that more or less kind of worked most of the time, sort of. The d-pad was terrible, the analog stick on the nunchuk wasn't any good, and there simply were not enough buttons to control modern games.
You should play Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, the best game on the Wii. It's the ZombiU of last gen, insofar as using a system's control method super effectively.
hm, yeah, you're right. just like the 360 controller is "pure garbage" because witcher 2 is an uncontrollable mess. damn those controllers making games control bad!

The Witcher 2 wasn't made for the Xbox 360 controller, it offered it as an option. Nintendo made games specifically for the Wii Remote and failed nearly every single time at making the controller work with the exception of Wii Sports and...well, it's just a third of Wii Sports really and that's the end of the list.
The NES controller is also terrible, but the Wii controller sideways manages to be an even worse version of the NES controller.

what the fuck are you talking about
Like, seriously, I'm having trouble coming up with first party games that straight-up didn't work other than Boxing, which is junk.
Every game that used a shake of the controller or nunchuk was terrible. Every single one. And anything that required real accuracy until the Wii Motion+ was busted. If your controller is anything less than 100% accurate, your controller failed.

Same here.
Even third party stuff like Madworld and No More Heroes was fantastic with the wiimote. Playing NMH without it on PS3 felt weird.

That's a bit extreme.
By that udgement the 360 pad is terrible because games make you use its d-pad.

I really, really hated both of those games and thought they looked excellent going in. I was probably just wrong about Mad World, but I imagine I would have finished No More Heroes if I didn't play on Wii.
As bad as the 360 D-pad is, when you press it to the left, it goes to the left.
You're overreacting a tad much.
It's been a while since we had one of her gifs round here.
I finished Digimon Heroes, what is the next mobile game that should consume my free time?

Doesn't really matter whether you liked the controller/games or not. The point is that they both worked perfectly fine with the wiimote.
But motion controls aren't for everyone and you're free to dislike them.

I'd say of the 3D generation of games, the OG xbox controller, dreamcast controller, and DS3 are easily the worst controllers.
You could take any modern controller from this generation and put them as my favorite tbh (even the gamepad).

That music though.
why anyone would wanna play a game like golem where every aspect is obviously hamstrung by the design limitations of vr is beyond me
i also liked how a two minute experience was stretched out to ten minutes by just turning the walking speed down to zero walking speed
I think that particular picture could be a really good fake, but I definitely think it's something close to what Nintendo's working on. The Sharp Freeform display deal and that patent point towards some sort of controller with an odd shaped display and some combination of sticks, haptic buttons and maybe some real buttons as well.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Hey, how did they capture that VR footage? Does the Sony headset just have a video out?
The box outputs the "social screen" to TVs, yes.
Dat PSVR flagship title doe.

It really was (loved that handle!). It packed a lot of power in that sturdy little box. Man, Rogue Squadron 2 still looks good. I WANT A NEW ONE!
