Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

"Right after getting back to Japan, [Miyamoto] suddenly said: "You know we're including golf now." Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form!"

[Title Too Lo]: Wii Remote controlled Cell Phone Game . . . I dunno . . .
Tubatic | 9:00 AM on 12.13.2007 8 comments



(Look, I fail at Photoshops)

I swear, one day I'll learn to write real posts like the cool kids . . .

Regardless of journalistic self-pity, I deliver to you this old link that I just found. So it must
be new.

http://www.mobilegd.com/symbian/wii-controller-s60-phone-motorcycle-
game.html


The pic on that site really sells it: its a cell phone game that requires a home console to
play.

These guys, however, look like they're on the right track though:



Sure, its way better control than anything else that's standard on cell phones. And they've
captured Nintendo's flare for cheesy game "action" moves! Zap POW! But really, you're
going to feel like a tool whipping out your nunchuck on the bus to play your Tetris remake
remix.

This all kind of reminds me of those old timey newsreels where people came up with stupid
contraptions that were supposed to fly. Their clearly on the right track, but they're doing it
wrong.

There are people with patents
for mobile phone game pads. But I can't help but feel they're mostly on a road to post
Wright Brothers mockery until someone comes up with the right answer.

So, what say you? Does this give hope for a future where mobile phone games are really
fun to play, or are we still making planes with 15 wings and flying off cliffs?

Looks like fail to me. Isn't the purpose of cell phone games is having something to play while you're on the bus/train/whatever or waiting for someone?

Yeah, I think you've got it right: http://zeetoo.net/index.html

About two buttons.

its a bluetooth controller for the phone, looks like it would work well, but who wants to walk around with that thing in their pocket?

"or are we still making planes with 15 wings and flying off cliffs?"

when these controllers reach jump jet standard (e.g. no need for a runway, like helicopters, but can still go fast. and yes i did take the metaphor too far.) then ill buy a phone and use it enough to warrant games and extra peripherals.
