Hmm, not very welcoming behaviour, Lord N. It is... unbecoming. I think Rarity has too much influence over you.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH THERE!

1: im 32 i dont really play pokemon, my wife would leave me.
2: Things change people want different things, you say nintendo make cheaper than competition well heres 3 words for you 3.D.S! most expensive handheld EVER! (At launch) You may be completly broke or unable to save but i would rather pay an extra £50-£100 and get the very best that nintendo can do no matter how long i have to wait.
3: I dont claim there kings of motion control im just saying the interface is good.
4: Trolls??????????????????????????????????????

1. Really, your wife would leave you if you played pokemon? Are you sure? What games do you play that wouldn't make her leave you? I am curious. I know several married people around your age who play pokemon, even one who battles against their wife (and loses hehe).
2. Change is continuous, of course. Nintendo do have a slow adaptation. We may see less of this as Miyamoto is no longer an active participant in hardware decisions. I honestly think Nintendo have learned their lesson. The Wii U is not going to be the same deal with every other Nintendo item to date. I can feel it. Strong indicators are all the 3rd Parties moving in, and EA working with the online (and considering they have a lot of online games, it is definitely not going to be piss poor or even adequate).
3. It appears did not Lord N read your post properly. I think what you meant to say was "If Nintendo hadn't attempted to take the Motion route, Xbox could be the king." I personally haven't used the Xbox Kinect myself, but considering the small room space, poor lighting and previous experience with Eye Toy, I am not to big on that idea anyway.
4. I believe Lord N went a little too hard on you. I just think the guy had a rough day at the office.

Now, if you are reading this, Lord N, you need to take a breather. It seemed like you got a little bit frustrated back there, something I personally will not tolerate because this forums is awesomesauce and this anger is only out to disturb this serene little corner of the internet. We don't even have any real trolls (Wertville will try to differ, I know it), and we certainly don't need a hasty accusation here or there to start that now.

yeah! thanks

This comment here almost costed you a 'Like.' I would never doubt Feld0's Troll eating abilities D:

You're lucky that it was a good post

**Is finding no way to tie this into relevant conversation**

Oh, if it wasn't you, I forgot who it was.

[lemonlime]

If I recall, it doesn't even need s sensor bar,it can point anyways.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Nay, I reckon it does, if it's going to be backwards compatible with the Wii Remote.

[dagwood dang]

you know, a slight Wii sensor bar update wouldn't be bad. Maybe one above and below the TV to better triangulate where the center of the TV is,

or easier yet, just allow better offset adjustment settings beyond just "above tv" or "below tv." Tell the system what size your tv is so it can better approximate the center... Yeah!
Nintendo can make an update for that, easy!

[Gruff]

I doubt it. I think they are going to stick with regular Wii sensor bar.

[lostdwarf]

it is the exact same sensor bar.

you can even use your wii one if you want to.

[Bartman2]

I think from the picture that Feld--Twilight Sparkle posted, it's exactly the same port. My Wii one looks just like that.

[lemonlime]

No, I definitely heard that somewhere.

Apparently not. PSP was $250 at Launch, PSV will be $250 at launch, so what's your poiny

[Auzzie Wingman]

No, I definitely heard that somewhere.

It's not about whether you heard it somewhere or didn't, it's logic.

I think Wert said this before, but the Wii Remote uses infrared technology. They'll need some sort of sensor bar. You cannot completely shut off that technology, and expect backward compatibility. If you haven't already seen what the Wii U looks like, then you'll know it doesn't look capable of detecting infrared motions of a Wii Remote, especially if it's behind a cupboard door.

Without scrapping Wii Remotes altogether (why would you), then a sensor bar is necessary. End of story.

[Hank Hill]

Yeah, it's $250 at launch...but it has no memory, so that's another $30 for a card, and it's another $40 for a wall charger. So it's closer to $310.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Man, you've all forgetting iP- *is shot*

[Hank Hill]

lol, the iPhone isn't, and never will be, a gaming device.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Well, if you read back, it doesn't matter if it was a gaming handheld or not.

Anyway, off topic.

The black bar at the top is a sensor bar.
All a sensor bar does is provide a source of light.
The camera is in the wii remote.

They'll probably also include a wii sensor bar in the box for using it on your television, they'd only cost 5 cent to make.

Sensor bar?
I thought it was a camera...

[Nollog]

The black parts to either side of the camera house some IR LED's, just like a Wii sensor bar.
