Wii Control styles

Supreme Edgemaster · 12-05-2006, 07:01 PM

I've been looking at red steel and how it controls with the wiimote to control the main sword hand and the gun. I personally love it. Anybody's input on other game's control styles are of course helpful in the purchasing process of the game, so stack up the posts people.

DAMN YOU LITTLE NOISY FAIRY DIE.

*cough*

I don't like the way fishing works in TP. It just isn't fun. Haven't played with the combat enough.

Red Steel has too many other things wrong with it.

Combat in Twilight Princess is pretty straightforward and comfortable, in my opinion. However, running out of batteries while in a dungeon is lame. Also, the horizontal mirror aspect of the Wii version is slightly silly, at least in regards to things like Link's handedness, people's parts in their hair, Midna's wonderful eye, etc. But I digress... these are not related to controls.

Monkey Ball is odd playing on the Wii, as it was much easier with a non-moving controller. Sometimes it feels like the degree of movement on the screen does not correspond well with your movement - as if it's either too insensitive or sensitive at times.

You're pretty much dead on, but Red Steel is supposed to be re-released with a LOT of bugfixes, I can try to dig up the web article again.

I hope they get rid of the horrible rim lighting (it really serves to make characters and objects look flat, like sprites, instead of instilling any sense of realistic lighting to me) and all the jagged edges.

I understand that they cannot fix the voice acting.

Note: I'm sure these are not the "bugs" that they plan to fix.

I thought the idea was to have RS look comic book like. I liked it..*cry* I'm just looking forward to the re-release and the next generation of controllers, possibly with better refresh times or something.

This may be off topic but I wanted to ask: does everyone hold the wiimote with their elbows cocked out to the right or is that just the losers on the commercials? Does the wiimote HAVE to be held like that to use it properly or something?

If I just called you a loser I apologize. Well, not really, it just looks so ridiculous.

No you can hold it however you want as long as what you are doin can be picked up by the sensor bar.

greed · 12-07-2006, 01:27 AM

Or you know, two candles, any two infrared sources can replace the sensor bar BTW.

Really? That is freakin' cool! I will be trying that soon.
