Looking snazzy!
edit: notice 'Wii' branding (of course), speaker on controller, round power button, smaller player lights, and light on power button. Now the thing is even more apple-esque.
Baton-alicious!

Sweet. Hoping that they were going to mic it. That is just too cool.
All in all. In line with what I was expecting. Great showing this year. :-)

Edit: A mike? Wouldn't you get feedback?
Post by: RickPowers on May 09, 2006, 10:01:41 AM
By the way, I noticed in the Mario Galaxy footage that at one point, the player put the remote up to his face. Was he listening to it, or talking into it?

QuoteOnly if the interior speaker were set to play the noise picked up by the mic.

Ah.
Not sure if anyone cares, but looking through the Wii site, it turns out the X/a Y/b are now buttons 1 and 2.
Also, the nunchaku-wiimote connector is different. As is the analog stick. As is the "direct pointing device". Looking good all around.

Also we all know the secret feature must be a mister for all the sweat you'll work up.

Wanna see something else I noticed?
Might be nothing but the Wiimote on the right has a gray zone under the index finger. She's covering up the side pretty good. Might be nothing, might be covering up sloppy prototype work, or.... meh. Well there it is anyway.

So your saying that the big secret is that the Remote is a cellphone too?

Advanced tactile feedback! Perhaps. Possibly.

Not sure about that. That's a pretty clean 90 degree angle, there...
edit: oh, hey, anyone else notice there are no more start and select buttons?

And, in the mario vid they're listening to the coin sound.
