Kotaku: We’ve Sketched The Wii 2 Controller Of Our Dreams

Kotaku: "We haven't seen the controller for the next Nintendo console. (Nintendo hasn't sent it over to us yet. Thanks for nothing, Miyamoto!) But we've been stitching together the snippets of info we're picking up from people who do know what the controller is like. So we just had to sketch it out.

Illustrator Sam Spratt took the details we've confirmed (and our direction after holding up iPhones and tablets to Wavebird controllers) and gave it three earnest tries"

The analog sticks will be to far away from each other to worry about hitting your thumbs together, why is all of them having the analog sticks like the 360? I bet you didn't know, it is more accurate for you to have the analogs on the same level, than like the 360 analog sticks.

Looks more like a nightmare!

Hope the final controller is better than their dreams!

DNAbro4753d ago

@newmonday

im pretty sure those controllers have been confirmed fake

kalebgray924753d ago

if i want a controller with a screen then ill play my psp.... i think that the controller will fail with the screen like dreamcasts.... yeah its nifty but im not moving my head up and down to play games.... the controller is supposed to be a tool to play games....my opinion

AAACE54753d ago

Did you ever consider the screen might be for other things like playing your games while you went into another room or a FPS where everyone could use their screen instead of being bunched on a tv.

Nintendo is about innovation! Some of their ideas don't work out, but lots of them are copied!

kalebgray924748d ago

i admit they are innovators... the joystick being my favorite addition of all time... the motion gaming... ehh... dont care for it.... but going to another room to play sounds dumb to me... call me old school but i miss the days where u would have 10 ppl in the room playing golden eye 4 playing and 6 going crazy in the background... i like to be in one place when playing games... leave the portable gaming to actual portable gaming devices

CrimsonEngage4753d ago

I beg to differ. I can hit shit playing with a PS3 controller. The sticks are too close for my liking. When it comes down to it, it's personal preference.

I feel the 360 analog are more comfortable.

fluffydelusions4754d ago

People seem to have some high expectations for this controller. Hope their wallets are as big as their imagination.

MrAwesome4754d ago

So far I like the leaked control better, something like IGN's mock-up.

morkendo234753d ago

look like a lightbrite board with knobs

kungfuian4753d ago

If the controllers for Wii 2 each have their own screens, as well as motion control type features like gyros and environment tracking cameras, then the systems surprise feature may very well be some sort of a shared augmented reality game play.

A system like this totally fits Nintendo's DNA. It would offer an extremely unique and exciting gaming experience which is focused on a local very social multiplayer experience, and it's something the competition would have a hard time ripping off (ie a new area with blue waters/no competition.)

Image 2-4 people sitting across/around each other in a circle, each with their own virtual window into the same game world.

So when you look at your controller/screen, where ever you point it you are looking into a world that appears to be projected into your living room, a world which could be shared by any one with a controller.

This would work very well with many types of games. Imagine smash bros in a shared augmented reality style 3d playing field. Kind of a isometric/top down view where each person has their own view into the same world.

Now imagine poker, any card game for that matter, board games, arena style figting games, and all kinds of fun and very social aps....

Just a thought.....

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 Souls5072d ago

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

Godmars2905072d ago (Edited 5072d 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.

ClownBelt5072d 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-Pyro5072d 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.

Anon73495072d 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.

RedDevils5071d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5072d ago

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