Wii Underestimated Motion Gaming

TQcast Author writes: Don’t pretend like you didn’t hate on motion gaming when it first came out on the Wii, we are all guilty of underestimating motion controls, and the possibilities of future gaming, yet today we have gamers arguing about what is better, ‘PS Move’ or ‘Kinect’, when in fact we should be thanking Nintendo for the motion breakthrough.

You've underestimated the PIC!!!

ChronoJoe5792d ago

I really tried too... I did.

Was send a PM asking me to confirm if there is a couch in the background. Been looking for 20 minutes and can't see it. Can anyone confirm if there is something else in the picture?

"Don’t pretend like you didn’t hate on motion gaming when it first came out on the Wii, we are all guilty of underestimating motion controls"

Actually I was really excited leading up to the launch, and bought a wii right away. Then I got it home and realized I HATED motion controls. Also for some reason I had failed to understand the Wii would not be HD until after I hooked it up (lol @ me for assuming every console this gen would be HD). So dismayed at the wii, it sat around for a while only to be sold later.

Now with 2 new motion control devices coming, I have to say I couldn't care less about either. Buttons are where it's at for me.

Mahr5792d ago

Why are you being off-topic and talking about the actual article? This is clearly a thread for discussing that picture.

rbanke5792d ago

I'm an old married man, takes more than a small pic of cleavage to get me excited :p

kneon5792d ago

We got a Wii early on as I thought it had some potential. But the implementation was not very good, it's just too inaccurate for many games. I don't know how many times I'd turn one way in Mario Kart only to have it go the opposite direction. Also Mario Kart is about the only game that's interested me enough to actually play for any length of time. But I've long since mastered it and don't play it any more. Even the kids have barely played it in the past year or so, it really is just collecting dust.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi92d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer93d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot93d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno93d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay93d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno91d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK92d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
