Is the Wii 2 Controller Financially Feasible?

Nintendo has announced the Wii 2 and a full reveal is expected at this year's E3. Much speculation has been made about what the controller will look like. One such rumor is that it will have a HD touch pad in the center, but is that even feasible?

I don't foresee Nintendo going this route. It wouldn't make enough money.

Tachyon_Nova4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

Apart from the money issue, people don't realise just how large a 6 inch screen is. Even the PSP2 only has a 5 inch screen. At 6 inches plus analog sticks (and d-pad?) there is no way your average user could reach the centre of the screen without shifting grip constantly.

iamnsuperman4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

I think pachter (I know unreliable) said to make the controller (based n rumours) could cost at least $60 (without touch screen capabilities) on the Bonus round and said normal controllers cost $10 to make and cost us around $60 Unless they are planning to make no money or very small amount of money on the controller it is infeasible Who is going to buy a $100+ controller

ChickeyCantor4734d ago

Bonus round?
Pachter also assumed there was going to be more tech in it.

If the rumors are true, I'm expecting nothing but a screen wich displays data which is streamed directly from the console. I can't see how this can turn out that expensive.

monkeys4734d ago

lcd screens can be very cheap. the ones in the ds are only a few dollars to make.

iamnsuperman4734d ago

They are also half the size and lower resolution to what is being rumoured And if it is going to be touch screen (few rumours hear and there) it can't be like the DS which uses pressure (best from a stylus) imagine holding a stylus while playing on a large controller

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
