Ahead of its time.
Bought a dolphin bar so I can have some fun with the wii remote and retroachievements next year Say something nice about me!
>>729038945Stupid because you couldn't use the nunchuck as a nunchuk, and the wiimote was strategically designed to destroy tvs.
>>729038945i think that if they reissue a wii mote for the switch it would be an incredible hit with millions of sales.
>>729038945The wii mote itself was pretty ergonomic for a 1-handed controller, I liked it
>>729040984it's literally just a tv remote
Got gyro a little too late. If it had that good of motion tracking from the start, the wii would have been perfect.
>>729043358TV remotes don't have usually buttons on the bottom
>>729038945Absolutely not. 2006 was the perfect year for this console. It came out right on time.
>>729039207That's what the joycons already are?
Wii is peak Frutiger Aero.
I feel partially responsible for all the Wii threads popping up since I traded my PS4 and half of the games I owned for one
>>729038945no, it was just on time. it's xbox that dragged the industry down, trying to made it look like wii was a fad and dual stick faggotry was there to stay, but both nintendo and sony developed their motion control capabilities right with the tech advancements- the original iterations, og wiimote and sixaxis, were kind of awkward, but motion plus was capable of modern levels of precision in 2009, and ps move were so good at tracking that sony used them for the original psvr a decade later. but xbox pissing its pants with a science fair project kinect and then holding the industry back with their feature parity mandates ensured that it's end of 2025 and most console games still SUCK to controlfuck microsoft for keeping us in the past, we had the future in our hands and they took it away
>>729046761I mean the ergonomics of it are just like a tv remote from that time
>>729038945The industry never truly recovered from the double shot of casual+waggle and smartphone menace
>>729038945Wii was good for like 2 years before it became a gimmick dragging down everything
I love two part controllers, it's super comfy to be able to play games with my hands by my sides rather than having to bring them up front to hold a traditional controller
that looks like a deal dough
>>729047885Kinda the opposite happened. It sold itself on the gimmick for a couple years and then had to start falling back more on actual games. Stuff like MonHun Tri, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Sin & Punishment 2 and the GoldenEye remake all came out a little later on.
>>729046761sony remotes do
>>729038945Why did wii remote and nunchuck feel so good but detached joy cons feel like shit? This is a rhetorical question.
>>729038945Wii nunchuk wagglan is the definitive way to play RE4.
>>729049650Fuck rhetoricals. The joycons feel like they were made for the hands of a 5 year old.
>>729049650Joycons are too small, too flat, and the face buttons and analogs are clustered too tightly.The remote and nunchuck are just big fat controllers that you can firmly grip without getting a hand cramp and your thumbs land right on the A button and analog stick so you aren't awkwardly bending your thumb in half trying to press 5 other things during normal gameplay.
>>729038945>>729047558>we could've been past wagglan, controller tracking & wearable joint trackers and onto non-invasive fulldive by now, but instead we got raped into the meme specialist VR market+future NeuraLink backdoor zombie network fulldive timeline>all because Jeetcrosoft wanted to put an always-on always-recording thermal imaging camera in your living room that didn't even work decades before the modern horrid in-house panopticon push, and then hobbling everyone else when consumers said FUCK NOthat's actually really dark to think about
>>729049650wiimote is meant to be held in someone's hand standalone. joycons are not
