Controller Prototype with description

A piezoelectric touch pad? Well, it could work, but isn't that going to be monumentally expensive? Not to mention nobody knows how long it's going to last. I would expect that for maybe the generation after the next, but not this one.

Then again, Nintendo might surprise me.

Yeah, Nintendo has always made cheap controllers... The gyro stuff is enough for me.

And like Null says, a touchpad with vibration is still just that: a touchpad. with vibration.

The neat thing about real buttons is that you can touch them without activating them. I don't think you can do that with a touch pad/screen.

Stupid game companies.

Average gamers want simplicity in their controller design. Why do you think Super Monkey Ball was such a hit?

I didn't think super monkey ball was a hit... i know it's one of my favorite games, but I dont think it sold well...

but you're right, those are the best games.

And why is Google one of the top ranked sites? Obviously, people like me are too fed up with fancy stuff. The only games I play anymore besides Halo are my NES ones.
