Pestneb Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 they probably held back alot after the Sony conference. lol, Imagine Sony camp now, all they can reveal is the addition of a microphone at TGS
Ramar Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Wii Classic controller (bottom of page) http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/e3_2006/wii/controller.html
Nintendork Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 That classic controller is a joke.. why the hell is it wired? So lame.. much rather the shell that IGN made.
Dante Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 That classic controller is a joke.. why the hell is it wired?So lame.. much rather the shell that IGN made. The Shell controller plugs into the bottom of the wii controller.
Ramar Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 If anything it looks like it will discourage dev teams to port for a regular controller because its so bad.
Nintendork Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Yuk, what a bad idea.. I wont buy that. Anyone thinking the controller's speaker will double as a microphone? Or will Nintendo add this later as a nunchaku nozzle for a higher quality piece of kit. I'll just use a WaveBird or a wired GameCube controller over that.
ShadowV7 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 It does look a bit odd.I agree with you ,I prefer the IGN one aswell.
djamb3 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Launch Date and MSRP: Q4 2006 ($TBA) Controls: Intuitive control for anyone using the physical motion of the main Wii Remote, which resembles a television remote control. Up to four Wii Remotes can be connected at once using wireless Bluetooth technology. The wireless signal can be detected within 10 meters of the console. Both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers include a three-axis motion sensor. The Wii Remote also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port, and can be used as a pointer within 5 meters of the screen. The Wii Remote has a power switch, plus pad, A, B, Minus, Home, 1 and 2 buttons. The Nunchuk controller includes an analog control stick and C and Z buttons. The Look: Wii features a compact design that will make it a natural addition to any television setup. It can be displayed either vertically or horizontally. Color: TBA Media: A single self-loading media bay will play single- or double-layered 12-centimeter optical discs for Wii, as well as 8-centimeter Nintendo GameCube™ discs. Communication: Wii can communicate with the Internet even when the power is turned off. This “WiiConnect24” service delivers a new surprise or game update, even if users do not play with Wii. Users can connect wirelessly using IEEE802.11b/g, or with a USB 2.0 LAN adaptor. Wii also can communicate wirelessly with Nintendo DS™. Virtual Console: Wii will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo® 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System® (SNES) and even – more – the Nintendo Entertainment System® (NES). The Virtual Console also will feature a “best of” selection from Sega Genesis titles and games from the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). It also will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets. The Specs: Wii has 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports and built-in Wi-Fi capability. A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory. Design was optimized with state-of-the-art processing technologies that minimize power consumption, keep the console compact and enable the “sleepless” WiiConnect24 mode. CPU: PowerPC CPU (code-named “Broadway”) Made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and manufactured by IBM. Graphics Processing Unit: Being developed with ATI Other Features: Four ports for classic Nintendo GameCube controllers. Two slots for Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards. An AV Multi-output port for component, composite or S-video. Could this mean the gpu is still under development?
Babooo Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Am I the only one who thinks that the classic controller actually looks quite good?? It looks nice!!!
Cube Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Has anyone noticed changes in the controller? - Looks longer - Start/Select replaced with +/- - Power button chanded to circular. - Speaker added - a/b replaced with 1/2 - port altered. edit - those holes on the bottom to attach attachments securely? Classic controller:
MunKy Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 The Wiimote also looks deeper. If you know what I mean, as in distance from the front face to the back of it.
ndreamer Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 ill only be using the shell controler for the vc games and maybe smash brothers but that shell controler whould be awsome for 2d games like the megadrive and snes controlers where.
nekunando Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 ..the B-Trigger has also changed shaped.. for ergonomic reasons I assume..
ShadowV7 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I'm gonna get a shell for the VC games anyway,design is growing on me.
conzer16 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 all in all its a more well designed controller, and although i read earlier (on gamespot or ign) that it "mightn't" be the final controller, i think it looks DAMN WELL!!
conzer16 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I'm gonna get a shell for the VC games anyway,design is growing on me. i think it looks well.
djamb3 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 nobody is commenting the specs...oh bad world...(it was hard to put taht in there :p ) joking. the shell is horrible, cause I hate that shape (the analogs like in the PS one...).
Smowza Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Am I the only one who thinks that the classic controller actually looks quite good?? It looks nice!!! na your not the only one dude. i love the shell's design snes games will play so well on it baby!!!
xernobyl Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Graphics Processing Unit: Being developed with ATI I find that strange :| But that can be why some games look a lot like gamecube ones. Anyway I really like the look of the classic controler! It really looks classic! I hope it has good ergonomics.
gaggle64 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Am I the only one who thinks that the classic controller actually looks quite good?? It looks nice!!! Reminds me of my SNES days. Good times, good times. Also while I'm here, just got to Red Steel presentation - graphics surprisingly nice. Very clean cut, looks like FEAR on about a mid setting. Very detailed. I get the impression that there are some effects which they haven't added yet. MArio also looks very clean with plenty of details and effects. Happy with the graphics.
goku21 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 O.K people ...senn the graphics? seen the shaders(galaxy)? seen normalmapping? Just a beefed up flipper? mmm don´t think so!
SpinesN Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I think it should be noted that we now KNOW the home button is not used for leveling or setting the position of the wiimote. Just look at the classic controller it has a home but clearly it does not need to be set in spacial terms.
colormonkey Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Have you seen the pic of the sensor-bar? Looks pretty discrete ... so that good!
conzer16 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Have you seen the pic of the sensor-bar? Looks pretty discrete ... so that good! is there a link to a bigger pic of that anywhere?
