I think it's stuck.

Quote

So it's very important that the remote look superior or else they look like jackasses and the remote looks like a gimmicky novelty controller.

The problem is I think the remote IS a gimmicky novelty controller and I think Nintendo is aware of this as well.

Quote

It's being treated like a novelty.

Quote

But instead they're just being trying to directly compete with Nintendo and the association between motion control and novelty casual game junk continues.

Quote

That is what Nintendo should do with M+ Zelda: practical usage not novelty usage. Remember the audience here.

Quote

In that situation do you think anybody growing up with the Wii will prefer motion controls or will the novelty eventually wear off? The way motion control is treated right now, whether it deserves it or not, is as a novelty.

I think next time, you should use a little more novel approach to bring something like this forward.

Who treats it like a novelty? I don't.

Why at the supermarket, do they call the ice cream treats "novelties" on their aisle signs?

I occasionally treat it like a novel.

Because when those items were first introduced they were sold out of ice cream trucks which were called Novelty Trucks, and so people began referring to the treats as "novelties".

Not quite sure what you meant to type but I'll attempt to answer it anyway.

I think Grocery stores started being referred to as Supermarkets when they started carrying more than just groceries.
Now you can buy food, drink, cooking items, utensils, party supplies, magazines & now even do some minor banking all while in the same store.

I found toy Wii Remotes next to the hershey's when i was in new york. Yep. Novelty.

You can bank minors? Do they gain interest?

I was amazed to see a commercial for our local NY supermarket chain where they advertised sellling Nintendo DSL's and Xbox 360s...

Two weeks of vacation and it's right back to USS Negativity, a ship that never sleeps

Most of the time I find the motion controls to be this frustrating novelty I have to put up with.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:27:03 PM »

I hope it meets the Casual Iceberg for the last time.

I'm still impressed that he made the same old complaints even about a hypothetical Wave Race Wii game. Now that's dedication.

EasyCure · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:04:53 AM »

Vacation!? **** i didnt even notice.. I noticed myself being a little more chipper when on the forums here, posting/joking more because my mood was up.. guess its back to the usual frustration after reading those dedicated poasts...

To beat Nintendo, Sony (or Microsoft) has to make the Wii look as lame to the rest of the world as it does to me. Right now motion control is a damned novelty.

I didn't see this thread till today so I was kinda confused who Zap was quoting in the preciding quotes,but that last one was from Ian.

This is a novel idea for a thread Zap.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2009, 03:37:57 AM »

With just a few more quotes, we could play Bingo.

How to generate your very own Ian post:

1. Take a typical user comment from GoNintendo.

2. Add the word "rube" in there somewhere.

EasyCure · « **Reply #21 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:09:03 PM »

Oh! "MachIAN".. I get it now.
Man I'm such a rube

Since Ian Sane doesn't visit The Funhouse, this thread comes off as a little mean-spirited.

i didn't get it until the bump yesterday, I always though, "does he know he misspelled machine?.... well the way he spelled it does kinda pronounce the same.... maybe english isn't a first language...."

then it just dawned on me yesterday as it dawned on you today.

What makes it funny/clever is that even if he visits the funhouse, he won't even know this thread is about him until he enters it.

EasyCure · « **Reply #24 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:53:24 PM »

I always just thought zap mispelled it to be one of those zany funhouse titles. I skip over ians post instictively now so I never really bothered with this thread.
