Sorry about the lightgun comment that was highly shortsighted of me and inaccurate, but the developers on the Wii (barring a few exceptions), haven't sold me on the idea that I absolutely need all my shooters to have IR sensor functionality. Most of the games have been simplified or dumbed down in a way to be more suitable for the Wiimote, and I don't like that. As most of you know shooting isn't the only part of FPS's these days as they becoming more and more complex, and more and more cross into other genres. Most of the Wii's shooters are old school in design, and are completely linear...I'm sure they will continue to get better, but as of now I can't simply put all of my marbles on potential. Improved aiming alone, will never be the selling point of a game to me.

@gaminggeek Oh yeah pointing and selecting items along with aiming with ranged weapons were definately aspects of the Wii-mote that I really enjoyed most in Zelda: TP. I also enjoyed most of the close-up fighting aspects as well especially some of the techniques that you could learn from the ghost knight like the ones that utilized the movement of the nunchuck.

There are certainly many more games that I'd love to try and all those games are in that list.

Why does Nintendo keep making controllers without grip wings?

On the positive side, though, I do need another GC controller or two, and this might work as a decent wireless solution, however clumsy.

Oh yeah Beaveroonie I wanted to give you a metroid prime 3 hint if you didn't know already which I'm sure you did. If you hold down, I think it's either the Z or C button it freezes the screen so you can get pixel perfect lightgun style aiming. Kinda like goldeneye when you held down the button and the red target appeared on screen.

Otherwise you can leave the controls on standard which gives you larger bounding box but with more accuracy in the center of that box but I don't need or want that.

I always use the Advanced control option, for speed. I know about the Z thing, but it only works the way you're describing it if I'm not within targeting range of anything. It's almost exactly like the difference between centering the camera and targeting something in the Zeldas (except that we can aim off-center even with a locked perspective).

Hey check this out:

INSERT COIN Exclusive, leaked internal Sony Documents show new PS4 controller mock-up:

http://i34.tinypic.com/314rm6b.jpg

We intercepted this from an e-mail of a Sony employee.  Totally legit.

Yay we are Kotaku! Now lets post this on gaf.

That thing looks extremely familiar, actually I figured it out that sounds exactly like the new rumored motion-sensing PS3 controller. Which in turn also sounds like a concept that MS had patented before we found out  about the rumored Newton.

Edit: I clicked the corner on the left, and all it does it highlight all of the text.

You're having trouble quoting? What I've been doing if I want to only respond to one part of someone's post is that I'll write my response below the entire quoted post, and then remove what I'm not responding to. I think I've tried deconstructing people's posts into more than one part and responding to each part, but I'm having trouble with that.

Just Practicing, I hope I got it now, this is getting embarassing.

Finally.....holy shit fuck. My brain was about to implode. Just keep doing what you just did.

LOL @ people posting Kotaku as "news"

I was thinking the same thing.

P.S. this is a very old mock-up from IGN. Remember this is before the Classic controller was revealed.

DE BLOB at IGN!

Dvader once made fun of me for liking this game, so I feel vindicated that it indeed looks badfuckingass now. I am all over this game, check out the video on page 1.

That's exactly what Nintendo should have come out with. I'd much rather have that than the lame ass classic pad with its cheap feel and wannabe Snes shape.

I keep getting interrupted by pesky customers today, so here is the PS3mote's right side, I haven't got the nunchuk ready to go yet.  I don't think I could begin to pass this off for a hoax.  It is way too fake looking and photoshopped.  Oh well... anyway, if they do a controller like this, this will need that IR sensor where I've put it, otherwise your finger would be in the way.

Okay, what's wrong with Kotaku? Did I miss some sort of anti-Kotaku memo?

Kotaku likes to take things out of context and sensationalize them, and they are worse than I am when it comes to stealing articles from NeoGAF.

Oh, well. To be honest, until today, I've only gone to Kotaku rarely; GoNintendo is the only other site I vist daily besides Insert Coin. I went to Kotaku for multiplatform news since I don't follow other consoles much.

No big deal at all dude.  I still go there, as they definitely break some news faster than anywhere else, they just have moments where they are completely lacking in integrity.
