Now I don't know if I should buy NMH 2 on launch day or wait until it releases on PS3 instead. The PS3 version would have buckets of more win.

That is straight up the funniest write-up I've read on ANY gaming website! You should seriously run for President of the World! ...

This is actually what I've feared most from motion control: Ports.

The Wii saw an influx of ports with motion controls shoe horned, and now it looks as though the PS3 will get the Wii games as ports.

Except that for all but about 10 games, the motion controls were dire! They worked best when used sparingly... which is counter to the CHANGE GAMEPLAY FOREVER gimmick.

It wasn't super witty but "Ubisoft's Latest Piece of Casual Crap II: The Crappening" made me chortle. I'm so lame.

Will this work the other way though. Once the PS3 passes the initial storm of crap motion games and brings out some good games (like the wii occasionally does) will there be some ps3 > wii ports. Captain Obvious says no due to technical restraints but we can dream.

I don't recall NMH ever making much use of motion control. Only that whole high/low attack, which could easily be replaced by a single button.

@ KVB- No More Heroes wouldn't be as fun without motion controls, in the same way that Mortal Kombat wouldn't be as fun without the fatalities. They aren't a constant part of the gameplay, but when they get involved, they count for a lot.

MONSTER HUNTER TRI? QUAD? PENTA? Or whatever the fuck they name it.

NO MOAR HEROES!! YES PLEASE!!!

One other question that someone here can probably answer: does the wand include a pointer? Because for most Wii games I enjoy, the pointer is much more important than actual motion controls...

So does this mean PS3 will start carrying some of the Wii's shovelware?

they will port the crap and the wii will inherit motion control games ofthe PS3 as well.

NMH without jaggies and high-res would be nice. I agree with Agnates though. I thought NMH looked really cool so I bought a Wii, NMH, and House of the Dead when NMH came out. I like Suda games (however retarded they are) so I bought the new one regardless of system. It actually sold the Wii for me.

I hope they port super pii pii brothers.

Uh, sorry for the empty post. (weird that your blog platform doesn't catch those...)

Nobody should be worried about "evil shit" getting ported from the Wii. It isn't on the Wii because of the motion controls, it's there because the Wii is 1. very popular, even with the so-called casual gamers (remember that the PS2 also had a lot of crap?) 2. relatively easy to program for because of the low-end hardware.

I don't get it. People are asking for ports to the HD consoles from the Wii. From the Wii. From the Wii. From the Wii. You know, the same machine that was and still is derided for having poor graphics and underwhelming controls. Now, because the HD consoles are copying Nintendo and thereby legitimizing Nintendo's plan to pursue a new direction in gaming development, you guys want those games that you barely gave a shit about before on the PS3 and 360. As if by magic the games will increase in quality by an order of magnitude thanks to a simple platform change. Somehow, these motion controls make Wii-to-HD ports so simple. Not like there is an infrastructure difference that has prevented this from happening to games that don't already eschew motion controls. Not like there isn't a budget disparity between the development for Wii and HD platforms.

But there are good games for the Wii and you want them on the other consoles. You know what? If these games "didn't sell" on the Wii, as many of you assume, what makes you think anyone wants to invest more money into those projects? Wishful thinking? Happy thoughts? I am overwhelmed.

Well well well, it looks like the wii is going to loose its edge. who wants to stick waggle in crappy quality when you can waggle in hd?

Isn't Muramasa completely on the original controls anyway? So it pretty much could be ported to other systems now? *crosses fingers.*
A high-def Okami port/remake would be downright glorious. Or Resident Evil 5 - Pointy edition. Oh wow, that would be FANTASTIC.
Other then that...um...are there any other good third party games on the
Wii? No More Heroes? Any...anything else? Imagine...Party...Babiez...

@Steel Brotha

What the hell are you smoking and where can I get some?

I don't think Nintendo really cares. They're still selling their consoles at a steady, profitable pace, which means things have pretty much became a matter of administering this generation until they've got enough material on their hands to release a new console with different, innovative input options. Then, it will be a matter of waiting until Microsoft and Sony find out a new way to capy what they came up with without looking too much of a blatant copy.

I'm seriously glad my brother bought a PS3 and I'm very excited for what it and the 360 will do to motion controls, but it remains a very sad fact that they've so blatantly copied Nintendo's approach. Specially Sony. Man, it's almost pathetic watching those guys on the video showing something that's less impressive than Natal and less innovative than the Wii Remote, while trying to convince the audience that they've came up with a trully unique gaming solution.

Honestly, I'm most hyped up for Nintendo's next console. I still think they should keep the new Zelda for it and launch it with a huge bang by the end of next year. Which most likely won't happen, since that's when Super MArio galaxy 2 will be released for the Wii. Given this reality, I think they're in for a bumpy ride, specially after raising the bar so high when it comes to investors. The taller you are, the worse the fall.

the whole avatar thing is a destructoid joke in an article written by Jim Sterling. and that's simply what it is, a joke.

Jam jar? Fair enough... we be jammin'!

(By the way, I know that PS3 has Tiger Woods already... but without motion controls a golf game is totally not worth playing for me. Just my opinion. And Boom Blox doesn't need to be improved - it is totally awesome on Wii and could be a straight port no problem! Using the PS3's extra processing power for high-res graphics, upping the object limit in a level, or tweaking the physics engine certainly wouldn't harm the game though.)

We could slap a billion Wii games on a Blu-ray disc and give them shiny new graphics.
Than the children it's going to play in his room what his mom it's playing in the living room.

I hope Sony forces developers to add more content to ported games so it's not just a Wii game with updated graphics. I also hope they have high enough standards that a horrible mini game collection isn't allowed to see the light of day on the PS3.

if they port NMH or Mad World to the Wii then I hope they utilize the large Blu Ray space and just put NMH 1, 2, &3 onto one disk. If they can do it with metroid prime....
