Suddenly I care a small, small amount about the emmies. Not really. I don't even know what those are!

Yeah, Nintendo invented a lot of things that we now take for granted and forget was originally there's. Maybe we should remember that the next time we call the stylus or Wiimote a gimmick.

@ jpitner

Mabey your right about the touch screen stuff. But Nintendo DID invent the D-Pad (I beleve it was first seen on the original DS: Mr.Game&Watch, but I may be wrong).

And you'll notice that Nintendo's D-Pad, is ONLY used on Nintendo Products (they have a patent that makes it illegal for anyone else to use it). Yes it was used before 2007, but I guess this is just the first time they are being recognized for it.

Nintendo has profited on every console... they sold 90 million NES, 100 million Gameboy and GBA each, 60 million SNES, I don't think they've just realized they can profit on it. They're just doing it better than the last two generations.

I agree comrade. A use for something is often as innovative as the thing itself. Records existed before The Beatles. Pianos existed before Mozart, so what?

Great for nintendo ... i have a lots of fun with it ... great news :)

nintendo = local TV weatherman.

Congrats Nintendo...now go make some new IP's

Sony won an emmy for the dual-shock last year.

I think the SIXAXIS is more revolutionary than the wiimote because it has the motion-controls, in addition to dual-analog sticks and WAY more buttons than the wiimote, all pressure sensitive. All through bluetooth! How come no one recognizes that as a feat of enginnering?

A game could be developed with WAY more interesting controls using the SIXAXIS than the wiimote. Look at Warhawk. NOT POSSIBLE on the Wii (not enough buttons).

@robcat09

Ya, it's too bad that with motion-controls, in addition to dual-analog sticks and WAY more buttons than the wiimote, all pressure sensitive, no one can seem to get the SIXAXIS to work properly.

The sixaxis didn't get it?

Oh that's right. It sucks balls. Sorry, I forgot.

It's probably because the SixAxis has yet to prove itself worthy. I mean, with being used exclusively in games like Lair... Well you know the story.

For the most part, the Wii remote has proven that it can offer intuitive and enhanced FPS control in several games like Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and other shooter control schemes like with RE 4. It can be used in several clever interactive ways like in Zack and Wiki's puzzle solving methods. Better use of the sword spin attack, other sword techniques (but not the basic sword swing) bow and arrow, and claw shot. I liked the surprisingly responsive motion control use in Mario Galaxy except for throwing fire-balls with the fire flower power-up.

Let's not forget Wii Sports as well. I still feel that there are more exicting that can still be done with the Wii remote, but most developers (mainly third-parties) have been pretty lazy and often resort to waggle to act as a useless replacement for button pressing and button combos.

We all say the Wiimote is great but i for one will be using the Gamecube controller when Brawl comes out.

P.S. i still love the Wiimote just not for fast movements in a fighter.
