E3 2008: Nintendo Steals Microsoft's Thunder

[Random Argument Man]

Sorry, a new motion controller? I think the rest of the gaming world was a little pre-occupied with Microsoft nabbing FF13.

That's it! Microsoft is going down.
All we need is Purple Rain and a case of C4.

Seriously. Microsuck is fucking stupid. And they will fuck up Final Fantasy. Ooooh have an achievement for killing 500 of this kind of monster. LIKE EVERYONE WHO OWNS THE PS3 VERSION.

I'm sorry but my blood is boiling.

Except for achievement and different controls. How could they fuck up Final Fantasy. Put a FPS in it???? Unless SquareEnix plays a trick and put a message "Sorry, you have to play the Ps3 version to continue Disc 2".

You can rest easy Nintendo, Microsoft didn't steal your motion controls, they stole your miis. Also they weren't aiming at you, they were aiming at Sony (I can already sense 10 disc for ff13)

What are you talking about? All their new perifs. will just sit next to the wii wheel on our shelves. Animal Crossing was the biggest news. How does that steal Microsofts thunder? Sony better have some earth shattering announcments though.

LOL! Hey, I actually like this idea...let's all forward it to Square!

Man, while I'm usually extremely skeptical and cynical about Nintendo's gimmicks, it seems I'm going to depart a lot from the vast majority of thoughts in this thread in saying that it sounds good.

Now, stealing the show? Just because Nintendo release a strapon for their wangmote?...

..am I the only one who can see the possibilities here?

no...yes...no...yes? You don't have to be pointing at the damn screen the whole time, now you can chuck the Wiimote into the wall instead of your new tv.

More about it actually being able to tell exactly where in the room it is. Seeing it now?

PROJECT HAMMER can finally be born. Many a vase and window will fall to the might of our Wii-Mote Hammers!

Why didn't they make that add-on in the first place? Surely having 1:1 controls from as early as possible couldn't hurt...

Actually the second disk will be a collage of all the cool things you would be doing if you owned the PS3 version, the cool new mechs and what all the heroes went on to do... oh wait that's Xenogears

So Nintendo is releasing an attachment that will make the Wii controller do what it, theoretically, was supposed to be doing in the first place. I'm sorry, but I lost all faith in the Wii when I had the audacity to try and play the boxing segment in Wii Sports by actually boxing, only to have my avatar stand there with his arms spread out and jiggling his hips. If you're saying that now I can do that and it will work, I counter that it should have worked the first time.
