And you say needed, but who say they were. I mean the D-Pad wasn't need there wasd a way to control characters before hand. The shoulder buttons weren't needed, just add more face buttons, the Genesis one had 5 face buttons. Rumble feedback.. same deal...

The fact is you think they are important now because they have been proven to be important. I say give the new controller a chance to show it is needed and not just some gimmick.

there was others that worked just as well and replaced the original. they just wernt made by the same company, thats the only difference.

i say they were, nintendo themselves said they were. if you can find back where they intereviewed nintendo about the analog stick, they explained how they came to that result, they had made the 3d mario game and said they needed a better way to control him rather then the D pad.

and im sure for shoulder buttons it was needed to find a way to get extra buttons that wouldnt be too complicated, there ya go. these types of innovations came on thier own. they were made when they were needed.

this new controller comes from nitnendos ODD thinking that controllers are getting too complicated, and too many buttons. i dont find anyone complaining that controllers are too complicated, many would like a couple more buttons infact.


this controller would be a blast to try out on certain games, but im sorry, i know for a fact i'd grow tired of it. somtimes i'd want to just lie back on the couch and play, not wave my arm all around. maybe depending on where i am i dont have room to swing it like a bat to hit the baseball.

this remote would be a great idea..... as an accessory, i think nintendos at a stronge dissavantage now by basing thier entire system on it.
