yea, my buddy Malcolm can't play keyboard FPS games, hes just too used to joysticks. motion gaming really opens gaming to others but it's gotta be done right first

I think FPS games are better on keyboards, but keyboard platforming leaves a lot to be desired. It kinda pisses me off in Super Meat Boy when they post their anti-keyboard PSAs, they actively hate that people would even consider using a keyboard. Also they don't have a key rebinding function, what the fuck? If I cared enough, there is probably a way to do in for the computer itself, but I just learned to use the set up they had. I just really hated using shift for run, but I got over it.

I used my 360 controller. i could never get my ps3 controller to work right outside of the driver test mode. I find the 360 controller unresponsive when you compare it to the ps3 controller.

The Wii just got a universal price drop down to 169.99

if this isnt solely because of Easter, than it looks like Nintendo is really gearing up to release a new console

Blow that, I am not going to buy a controller for that reason and my roommate uses his too much for me to get it whenever I feel like playing it.

Nice find a1dan, could be fake. It does look like they are photos of a screen with scanned images on them.

You'll still be able to play wii games on it. at least that what people think Nintendo has said... It looks like it could be bigger then the wii, so you could use the line, "I have a big wii want to play with it?"

You can use the other line "I have a triple monitor up stairs in my room, i'll let you use it as long as you want."

Those pics were confirmed fake ;)

Although they DO provide a good visualization of what to expect in the future!

I don't think that's what the controllers well look like. They look too normal for something that Nintendo would come up with.

Glad I never got a Wii when the next Nintendo console will be backward compatible with the motion control games(hopefully).
