wtf, theres no need to spend money on the same stuff with just a cosmetic change. I guess you're made of money bags. Can i have 300 dollars?
I think he means improve upon the Wii Remote and sell it as a WiiU specific version. There's no point in re-releasing the same controller and making the Wii remote we all already own incompatible. If they added buttons,
a rechargeable battery, and improved precision, that would justify releasing a WiiU Remote. It would probably help people understand that WiiU is its own console, but Nintendo would have to redesign the remote to look new and improved. That might actually be a good idea since Nintendo should require MotionPlus/Remote Plus and trying to explain
that to the masses might not even be worth the trouble.
Still, I already have 2 Wii Remote Plus controllers and soon I'll own a gold Zelda one (when it comes to Zelda, Nintendo says jump, I jump... fail). I'll certainly benefit from the use of legacy controllers. However, from a business perspective, it's probably easier to release all new controllers. I know that sounds contradictory, but it really isn't. People are expected to buy new parts when they buy new things. This goes for just about everything, not just videogames. I used this example in another thread: you can't buy part of a brand new car and save money by using pieces of a car you already own (i.e. seats, steering wheel, tires etc.). You have to buy all of it. That's the expectation so I don't think anyone could really hold it against Nintendo if they did that. But, damn, I love saving money though I'd also buy new controllers if I
had to.
Also, Macs use Intel processors and have since 2006.
