At least it isn't a big steaming turd of ass-backward design like the DualShock 2.

I'm quite comfortable with the DualShock2. I love wired controllers. Batteries will end up costing you a bloody fortune.

Well as long as you lay down the initial cash for two pairs of rechargables and their associated charger you won't be hurting.

HomeDepot/SamsClub/Walmart you can get packs of 24 AA batteries for like 9 bucks. Or you spend money on 2 sets of NiMH rechargeables...

What do you think powers the Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers?

Both of which I have no plans on buying.

Did you want them to be hydro powered or something?

Solar.

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

Nah. Kinetic energy FTW!!!

Heck no, they had 3 different Wii Sports(tennis, bowling, baseball), Metroid Prime Corruption, Wario Ware, ExciteTruck, and ShootingRange/Duck Hunt

Personally I won't play any console that doesn't use a ZPM to power its controllers. I mean, the power source of the controller is the defining aspect of console gaming for me. And I don't care how the controller actually feels in my hands, it just needs to look good because I'm a poser a heart.

I'm kinda surprised by all the hating on the controller.. there have been pics and videos of it for a long time now..

All the people bitching about it aren't going to buy one anyway. They all make out with their PCs every night.

I am surprised too...it really was a nice controller. I think some people are scared at new things and what they haven't tried. I admit I was very skeptical but it all felt very natural within a minute or two of starting the games.

Change is always hard and I applaude Nintendo for taking the chance honestly. Once it's out to the general public I think people will start to appreciate it more.

But I'm going to bed

At first I thought the controller had a cord... and then I became less stupid.

I've used 2 sets of alkalines in my Wavebirds, in 3 years.

I doubt batteries will be a big deal.

[quakefiend420]

24 for $9? Damn, you can get 48 for $9.xx at Costco. Of course if you have NiMHs you really only want to use alkalines in low-drain devices like TV remote controls.

You tell me the controller is awful...and I look at the xbox and say much of the same.

Nah man, Xbox isn't bad... Well, Xbox S/Xbox 360 isn't bad. It's very similar to the GameCube controller, except that the ABXY buttons are all the same shape. At least the Xbox has decent analog sticks, and they put the left one in the right place! And analog triggers. Gran Turismo is one of the Playstation's best franchises, why the hell don't they put some analog triggers on the controller???!

 

[KeithTalent]

Thanks for this! The Wii looks pretty great to me! I can hardly wait for Zelda

 

[FoBoT]

cool, definetly on my tax refund purchase list in march

What do you consider a "bloody fortune"? $10? $15?

lol, great way of putting it. That's what I thought at first as well, but then Nintendo can't have people walking off with the controllers...
