In the sense that this intuitive Wiimote seems to be very unintuitive. It looks like it will take more skill and patience to control using the Wii-mote than a normal gamepad. I don't understand how they think this makes gaming any easier. In the Ubisoft FPS the guy could barely shoot straight with the Wii-Mote. Very gimmicky indeed. Chalk one up for history of bad ideas...like the Nintendo Robbot and the Power Glove. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 9th 2006 5:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii Connect 24 to use downtime for downloads]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/nintendo-wii-connect-24-to-use-downtime-for-downloads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/nintendo-wii-connect-24-to-use-downtime-for-downloads/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, PS3 actually has a "use-the-controller-itself instead-of-the-buttons-to-control-the-action-on-the screen" in its new controller too.

If you can pay for unlimited access to classics in the Virtual Console, then the Wii could download "suggestions" every night.  The feature also allows Nintendo to provide episodic content for games like Animal Crossing.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Biz_reporter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2006 4:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii Connect 24 to use downtime for downloads]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/nintendo-wii-connect-24-to-use-downtime-for-downloads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/nintendo-wii-connect-24-to-use-downtime-for-downloads/</guid><description><![CDATA["Well, PS3 actually has a "use-the-controller-itself instead-of-the-buttons-to-control-the-action-on-the screen" in its new controller too.

The ps3 will be most useful in games like Ace Combat, where you will push buttons and tilt at the same time, and games like locoroco...which is friigin awesome. hahaha.
