Wireless controllers offer a freedom simply not possible when shackled to the console with a cable. They are, quite rightly, now the norm in the video game world but this new wireless age brings a new problem: batteries.
Sony's Sixaxis controller features a built-in rechargeable battery that can be juiced up simply by connecting it to the console with a USB cable; Microsoft's Wireless Xbox 360 controller supports an optional Play & Charge kit; and the Wii Remote has... erm... a new pack of AA batteries.
LEGO DC Super Villains has an ingenious premise that could work wonders in a future LEGO Star Wars game, whenever it comes out.
They kinda did in the Lego Clone Wars game. One of the stages or two was devoted to young Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar and Aurra Sing. Shame they never did the other seasons in Lego form. I believe it only covered the first 3 and pilot turned movie.
For fans of games that involve shooting down hordes of zombies, The House of the Dead 2 Remake will be something to look forward to.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
"Microsoft's Wireless Xbox 360 controller supports an optional Play & Charge kit"
i have this and can say its pretty good so if you have an Xbox 360 and keep having to replace the batteries then just go to your local retailer and spend £15 on one of these, and the good thing is while your batter pack is recharged you can connect the wire to another controller without any batteries in it and use it as a standard wired controller.
nice i wonder how much it will cost
It's not a bad idea, but I'll just use the rechargable batteries I've been using since I got my GBA.
For those that don't already have rechargable batteries, or for some reason refuse to change out the batteries in their wiimote, this will be a solution, though most likely more expensive.
Ideally, Nintendo could give us a new controller that could hook into the Wii and be recharged while we play a game without the need for fast movement (like Monkey Ball), while we play GC games, or when we're doing the unthinkable...not gaming!
It is, however, nice to see someone come up with something for the Wii that's not totally usless, like the Wii pedometer.
