Why Nintendo May Not Ditch the Wii-Mote

There’s plenty of rumors floating around about the Wii 2′s specs and how it could potentially outperform the Xbox 360. But the most significant piece of information is that the new controller will have a large touchscreen, making it look more like a handheld device. While there are some amazing gaming possibilities enabled by this new design, there’s some good reasons why Nintendo may not ditch the Wii-mote.

CAFE is 100% Wii Mote compatible.

Remember that I said this.

I promise i'll remember this all my life. No, seriously! ;)

DJ4757d ago (Edited 4757d ago )

I actually will remember this (no sarcasm). There's also a news summary on the site called News Smash.

Well no shit Sherlock if it's going to have backwards compatibly with Wii games it's common sense to assume the Wii mote will be compatible.

I hope so, I can't play FPS on a console otherwise :)

Not interested; I'd rather use whatever new controller they have.

LightofDarkness4757d ago

Yes, they'll have compatibility, just as we have with GC controllers on Wii. But to play the NEW games you need a whole new set of controllers. CHA-CHING.

I guess waving around a white chocolate plastic candy bar is still fun.

So is testing how strong your TV screen is...

GusBricker4757d ago

I think Nintendo needs to sell a Wii cozy to keep the dust off. It would sell millions!

Brasi824756d ago

Yes, and Sony should make one for the same reason. Microsoft needs to sell X-Box 360 Tombstone's.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
