Post #288,561 by folkert 7/9/07 11:13:56 AM Reply	I might buy a nex-gen console... When the games start being NEW and not re-hashes of everything old. True the Wii has much new stuff, but I guess I've never been a huge fan of Nintendo since the Gamecube showed up. Its a stigma that they haven't shook yet, at least for me. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`

Just not sure if the games would recognize them. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`

Also, the possibility of expanding those kinds of games capabilities is good; you could add good hand-to-hand combat capabilities to a game like Counterstrike with a controller like that.
