They watched us like a hawk with the controllers. if you can adjust it, I'm assuming you do it within the game or whatnot. They wouldnt let us mess with any settings tho.

How is exite truck? What is it comparable to?

ExciteTruck was similar to any arcade style racer game with slightly souped up graphics. That was probably the hardest game to play because turning was controlled by you turning your wrist left or right which meant if you twitched the wrong way you'd crash and burn. But it was fun because of the arcade 'style' of the game.

Better yet...! Just release a magnet and solonoid attachment!

So because the controller has a battery and you are going to be all high and mighty and not buy any of them, then none of them are next gen?

K then.

I figure it's not quite next gen if it requires batteries. What happened to rechargable crap like wireless mice? 😕

So in addition to the console, your games, the controllers and all the add-ons, you want an additional charging pod for every controller.

awesome.

I'd expect to be able to plug it into the console at some place, or something.
 
I'm really looking forward to this system. The only of the last gen I had was Gamecube, and I loved that one. Nintendo may not always be the most powerful system out there, but they're just awesome at making a fun game. 🙂

The Wii will take the cake, imho.

Plugging it in while you're playing wouldn't really work with the Wii like it does for the PS3 or Xbox 360. And proprietary rechargeable batteries are usually pretty expensive. It's a GOOD thing that it uses AA batteries, because NiMH cells are cheap and easy to find. All you need is two sets and you never have to worry about having dead batteries.

Well, I understand, but I actually meant instead of having a standalone charger, you would have a slot or something that you could stick the controller in.

Either way it gave the controller the weight it needs. Plus the weight is in the back of the controller so it feels more natural in your hand. Battery or otherwise it's definitely a revolutionary type controller.
 
wow, that was right outside of Comerica Park? the game's still going......COMEON TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
