Wii Controllers

I was making fun of the "stick" controller for the Wii yesterday, so it is only fair I post a picture of it taken from the E3 display. It shows the analog add-on, the pistol and the "classic" controller in addition to the stick.

Wireless and motion-sensitive, the Wii Remote offers an intuitive, natural way to play games. The ergonomic controller plays into the conventional motions you make everyday. When you hit a drum, swing a tennis racket or swing a bat: Why should you have to press a button to replicate these things? With the Wii Remote, you can use everyday motions to help make you the center of the game.

Nintendo designed the Wii Remote to be the most multifaceted gaming device ever. It can be a sword in one game and then a steering wheel for racing games. It's your paintbrush, your golf club, your airplane, but most of all, it's your key to unlocking a world of fun you've never imagined.

Connect the Nunchuk controller to the Wii Remote and get ready. You've just begun a journey into the most immersive, heated gameplay experience ever offered. This combo offers the utmost precision. They're your sword and shield to defend Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They're your weapons to blast your way through the harried world of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and the gritty underworld of Red Steel.

The Nunchuk controller and the accelerometer contained within it are the next leap in gaming. In first-person shooters, the controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you look for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote.

Gates: Motion-Sensing Not Mainstream
Microsoft's main man questions his competitors' kinetic controllers.
by David Adams
May 26, 2006 - With both the Wii and the PlayStation 3 tracking the twitching of gamers' hands, has Microsoft's Xbox 360 missed out on a trend? Regardless of whether players take to the new systems, it doesn't appear that Microsoft is worried, at least judging by the reaction from its number one man.

Speaking to MTV News, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates offered his own take on the motion-sensing controllers coming with Sony's and Nintendo's new consoles. While fellow Big M higher-up Peter Moore has expressed enthusiasm for the Nintendo Wii and its unique control scheme, Gates was cautious.

"There's room for innovation here," Gates said, "but moving that controller around -- it's something that's not mainstream for most games."

Gates mentioned the motion-sensing SideWinder Freestyle Pro controller Microsoft released years back, which failed to gain momentum (no pun intended).

"It's tough because sometimes you move the controller, and you don't
