That Guy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 If they do this then I want replacements. Me too. It's a joke with all this redesigning crap. Make it good in the first place and you wouldn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well different colours were always expected, in fact it's the only reason i've still only got the two Wiimotes, once new colours come out i'll be getting the kick ass black, plus another colour so i can tell em apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xernobyl Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I guess the Wii Remote can be a little rounder (wiimote is too bricky) and in a more "ruberish" material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I bet a new feature will be an LED battery indicator. I've seen shavers cost £20 just for this added feature. I doubt they will change the shape of the controller as it needs to fit all those lame addons like steering wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Me too. It's a joke with all this redesigning crap. Make it good in the first place and you wouldn't have to. I don't feel there's anything wrong with the current model, so it's not like something's drastically wrong with it in the first place that we feel the need to purchase the upgraded model. That's the way I see it. I'm pretty happy with the motes we've got already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 One thing just came to mind: Perhaps these changes aren't for a "new" Wii Remote. Most of your fingers are on the battery cover, right? So, it could be a rechargeable battery (built into the battery cover - like the Joytech ones) with rubbery grip on the outside part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Sounds interesting, though I agree it seems to me just a way of eeking more money out of customers. If the improvements or could though, they could succeed, at least with me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 if there is a version with the triforce emblem..... I'll buy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 This keeps me wondering why they couldn't have rechargeables in the first place. I can understand why the redesign it though. They know it could be better but if they changed the design it would look less like remote but by the time of the redesign the should have attracted their "new audience" already and won't intimidate them. I'll most likely get a new one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost_zero Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 So, it could be a rechargeable battery (built into the battery cover - like the Joytech ones) with rubbery grip on the outside part... When do the joytech ones get released? They still aren't, are they? P.S.: Hasn't anybody thought about why the Wiimotes do have this two "notches" (correct word?) on the sides (one on each) like you would be able to put it in holder (correct word?), e.g. for recharging....?

Jasper Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This was predictable. From the beginning everyone knew that Nintendo would re-issue them. I'll be waiting for a new, personal, Wiiremote to recharge. Don't change to much of the design, though. It's kinda great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukegaliz Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are they still going ahead with releasing that "Zapper shell" despite being completely pointless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are they still going ahead with releasing that "Zapper shell" despite being completely pointless? There was an analogue stick on it, wich would make FPS a whole lot easier. Just use the cotnrol stick to walk around and the gun to aim, and you've got the simpelest setup for FPS-gaming. So it isn't completely pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The problem with the Zapper thing would be though that you can't aim lightgun style. You always have to point at the sensor bar. But maybe if you could enter the exact measures of the TV and the position of the sensor bar it could be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just hope they don't make a new one more expensive, and cut the old ones, it's pretty expensive as it is already! Thought, a few things I would like would be recharability, recharging through some sort of USB cable and hopefully you could charge it off the wii itself that way. I'd like better speaker quality, but I don't think that's likely to happen anyway. One thing I've been wondering on that front, does anyone know how it transmits the sounds from the console to the wiimote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 One thing I've been wondering on that front, does anyone know how it transmits the sounds from the console to the wiimote? Streams the audio via blutooth. Anyway, because of the accessories like the Zapper, I doubt the design will change much. I still think it's more likely that the "New Remote" is just a Battery "cover" with a built-in rechargeable battery and rubber backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 wouldn't surprised me if this happens sounds more like what the wavebird is to the original cube controller. an upgrade but by no means an essential one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's more likely that the "New Remote" is just a Battery "cover" with a built-in rechargeable battery and rubber backing. The reason I asked is because I was wondering, what is the maximum achievable quality that they could get using that method, with least delay and such? I don't really know alot about sound tech. Changing the material from that glossy plastic to something more grippy like slightly rubber would be good, but would there be any problems of the rubber wearing down? Of it getting grubbily dirty? I've already noticed dirt has started appearing in the creases of my wiimote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they will change the shape of the controller as it needs to fit all those lame addons like steering wheels. I thought the current wiimote already gave battery status with the amount of flashing lights when you press a button with the console off.....couldnt see N adding extra LEDs for that. I reckon they will add Videoplus to revision 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hmm, I wasn't aware of that, and actually thought the fourth LED in my wiimote was broken. Good thing I didn't take it back to the shop and make a tit of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariosmentor Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think the Wii mote 2 should have HD capabilities with a 15 inch screen, dvd playback and a treasure finding function for me to use in my garden. Otherwise why update it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
