Emasher Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just think about it for a second. Try going out and buying a bike helmet, try on one meant for small children. Its not going to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 But people's heads are different sizes. They couldn't just sell one size of helmet and everyone's size would always be sold out when they looked. Glasses or a headset would be better. A headset would be best because of everyone who already wears glasses. Man that helmet is a mock up from 2004/2005. When the whole megaton and "I believe that Wii has holographic projectors and virtual reality" was a fad. It's just the E3 countdown always reminds me of all that hype back then. I was not being serious obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 We don't know everything about this so we shouldn't start ruling stuff out until tomorrow. I thought you meant that but I wasn't sure. Or you can snort cocaine. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not being serious obviously. I know. I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. You could have potentially been saying that head tracking would work best with a helmet. Plus since E3 has begun, as gamer's its pretty hard to think strait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That wasn't a helmet, the only part of the infamous Nintendo ON you use isa little bit that looks like glasses, the rest is the actual console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Good point. They would not use a helmet of course. Maybe some kind of string that you put horizontally around your head would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the whole "on" thing. But even being a console, its still a helmet. Good point. They would not use a helmet of course. Maybe some kind of string that you put horizontally around your head would be enough. All it needs is 2 infrared LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMJ Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wow. Like... WOW! I thought this was fake, I was waiting for the Microsoft press con to start, then saw this news headlining all over the place. So indeed, a new peripheral then. I guess we'll see the new games for this peripheral tomorrow. Awesome! Questions are arising though. How can they have this in as many home as quickly as possible. The balance board is doing fine so far, since Wii Fit is the second Wii Sports. Lots and lots of people are eating it up. This peripheral sounds more suited for the core audience. Certainly intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll start including it free in every game that uses it until after christmas and then anyone who wants them has to buy them in stores. Plus all new consoles will come with one and you will probably have one bundled with Wii remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
