I guess people won't need to look at the Wii HD emulator any more.

*sigh* C'mon people GameTrack peddled this rubbish back on the PS2 before the Wii made the world go "oo motion sensing". It was horseshit . . no I take that back horseshit might have detected motion better.

"Ultrasonic transducer"? For $70 it better have a damn flux capacitor and let me bang Lea Thompson.

What I need is a control that has a emotion sensor so I get be more in touch with my gamer side. This looks gimmicky indeed.

After this comes out, I don't think anyone will have the right to say Nintendo is gimmicky ever again.

That thing is the cheapest piece of crap I've ever seen in my life. And two censor bars? What, they couldn't get it right looking at tech that's been out for over two years already? And not all the buttons? God.

For those who don't realise having two sensors is most likely so you can calibrate it more accurately for different sized tvs so you can make it more like pointing at positions on the tv rather than the Wii's pointing relative to the sensor bar.

I am loving this topic, all you angry little MS kiddies are so cute, especially you Oni, oh god its so funny, just tell your mommy to buy you one dude, jealousy is bad after all.

@Pedro

Careful bro, your fanboyism is showing, its funny Cause Nintendo is perfectly happy with just coming up some new gimmick AND MILLIONS SOLD and yet here you are saying nobody can call Nintendo gimmicky again.

Let me give you kids a shocker, things evolve because someone takes an existing concept and expands on it, I know you kiddies won't accept it cause its treading ON THE MIGHTY NINTENDO'S TURF but you never know, another company could take the concept of the Wiimote and make it better, its not that hard seeing as the current Wiimote isn't very good.

Oh and motion technology existed well before Nintendo decided to make a console out of it.

But whatever, you may now return to your MS, excuse me, M$ bashing and praising Nintendo.

Thankyou Kyousuke. Thought this entire thread was going to be mindless MS bashing.

This, wether cheaply made or not, is a GOOD IDEA. This can only bring more people into the 360 camp. Isnt that what a good business wants? More customers?

Obviously there will need to be games made using the tech for it to be ultimately useful.

But to call it crap from one f'ing screen shot is just stupidity.

If this manages to take off, it will probably result in every casual party game on the Wii (in other words, Wii games) being ported to the 360. I don't know about you, but "Raving Rabbids 360" "Carnival Games 360" sounds pretty awesome to me...*not really*

@Harris Hatsworth

Kyousuke actually has a valid point. I don't think he's being a troll.

I probably did sound like a Nintendo fanboy up there, even though I didn't mean to. Kyousuke is right, though, expanding on what Nintendo has put forth with the Wii is definitely a good thing. I just disagree with his belief that the Wii remote isn't good, because I think it's actually quite good if used correctly, better than a traditional controller. But that's all preference.

The thing that bugs me about this is the fact that it has two censor bars. I get why they're there --- Bigger TVs will benefit. But is a small censor bar that bad? I've used the Wii's censor bar on a 60-inch, and had no problems with it at all.

That is one nasty controller. But Whatever happened to the 3DV motion technology that Microsoft acquired?

@pedrovay2003

No he doesn't. He has a single coherent thought buried under insults, condescension, and flame baiting.

I agree with comradetrotskii.

If Sony was smart, they'd make a Wii-mote for PS2. That would really screw over Nintendo.

I'm sad about this.

What I really wanted was a 360/PS3 controller that had the Wii remote's pointer functionality. I could really give a rat's ass about motion controls, it's the pointer that makes me love the Wii remote.

All in due time, I guess.

I will be grinning a smug grin from ear to ear if this thing lasts long enough to even get its own remote condom like the Wii remote has.

This is pretty stupid, though. Maybe. Who knows? Making gamerkind genuinely embrace waggle hasn't exactly been the Wii's strong suit (can you name two friends who don't pick up a 'Cube controller for Smash Bros.?), handful of respectable games aside--with the diverse library and huge support on its side, maybe the 360'll surprise everyone and show that waggle's good for more than minigame shovelware and last-second ports from the Gamecube.

Personally, I'll reserve judgment for if and when some game comes out that tries its damndest to make me want to take this thing seriously.

LOL I find this funny how the people bithching at microsoft it's comming out for the ps3 too later on. The only way this will work is if there is a huge game base on launch for this. I like the idea of playing hd games but this will fail like the motion cam

this thing is a sure fail. i'll tell you why. the wii remote comes with the system from the get go, and that is one of the major reasons for its huge success. just like many on here who pointed out, the backwards compatiblity of that thing is basically zero for all the great games currently on the 360. then to top it off, this thing would have to fly to the top pretty quickly before the generation is out, and prove to developers that the thing is popular enough to warrant AAA games to be made tailored to it. the chances are very dim indeed. there just isn't enough years left in this generation to do that. and for people who are quick to say this is an improvement on the wiimote; i would tread carefully here. remember that nintendo had been doing r&d for their remote for many years prior to release of wii. in other words, MS or whoever has been trying to play catchup. while nintendo was doing their r&d for their controls, other companies were doing their r&d on processing power. on top of that, by the summertime this year, wii motion plus is coming out, and initial impressions have been very positive. the chances of this thing being better than wii motion plus is practically nil. use some common sense. this thing will die before it even begins. you want stupid, gimmicky party games on 360? here ya go.......

@Mxy: Can't you just settle for your own mother? I mean, let's not get greedy here.

@adwhammy

I agree, that would be awesome. RE4 on the Wii has the best action game control scheme I've used EVER, in my opinion. But this remote isn't being built with previously released 360 games in mind.

That's why it's destined to fail. It's a secondary controller (not even 1st party) that's coming out over 3 years into the console's life. That's why a lot of people are worried about Wii MotionPlus --- It's going to be required to play some games, but it's coming out only now.

@Jizl Tizl-

Motion controlled Raving Rabbids for the 360 would be pretty awesome IMO

@ Holmes

Oh common man, its not the fact that the Wiimote has pointer that you love it so much, its the fact that it was born from the womb of nintendo. Common! Common!

On another note. Hey that controller looks familiar! I think in all honesty I would buy a 360 just for this gimmicky....ah hem...I mean, wonderful piece of technology. :D Cheers Microsoft, you still wont come in first place but al teast your making an effort. More than what can be said about my poor sony :(

So it's the 360s version of the power glove, pointless and useless.

Jesus Christ, I forgot how atrociously ugly the animation was for Recess. The pink Ashley looks like Richard Nixon.
