I have been doing a lot of thinking about this. I have come up with several points, some good, some bad. I am going to break down each point and then summarize them at the end.
1) Good Idea. I like the motion sensative controller, however it seems like it may be difficult to use, or to get the hang of.
2) Not enough Buttons! For many games the single 2 bottons that are reachable in the normal position are not sufficient. Don't tell me about the "shells," I am getting there. I feel it will be difficult to play many of the new, more complicated games with 2 buttons.
3) "The Shells." This is a money making gimic. If you want to play THIs game, you will need this shell, because the normal controller is not sufficient. This will happen to many games, mark my words. If they can make and sell new games at $50, that will leave $10 for a new "shell." Seems stupid to me. Make the games at $50, and dont make us spend anymore money.
4) Position of the controller. Most people I know do not hold a controller at a straight angle while playing. That used to have no effect on the game play, now it has all the effect. Seems a little fishy to me.
5) Joystick. Has anyone here *tried* to play golgeneye single player with the two controller mode? I have, it is most difficult to hold two contollers at the same time and controll with them both.
Now... don't get me wrong, good idea by Nintendo trying to pioner a new era in gaming. I respect that. Nintendo did a wonderful job with the system itself, and I hope with the games as well. The controller is also an excellent Idea, but my main point in this rambling is: Great idea, Poor execution. I know that I will make several enemies with this post, and I could very well be wrong. From hat I have seen, gameplay and picture wise, I am slightly confused why. But, I must totally judge it for myself when I actually play it. I can only hope that I will be wrong.
