2. I hope they realize that you won't be able to push the buttons and hold the control at the same time when it's in separate pieces like that.]]>Oct 20th 2006 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
OK, the pad is cool, as is the light saber, but the sport pieces? Yes, I'd like to purchase the bowling ball simply to play the most boring sports game around.

Nintendo has it right; one peripheral that mimics all styles. ]]>Oct 20th 2006 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
The tennis and baseball.... not so much.]]>Oct 20th 2006 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
I wonder how many people are going to be throwing that bowling ball through their TV.]]>Oct 20th 2006 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
What would be cool though, is if the disconnecting of the two halves triggers events. You want to break something, you pull them apart outward. They should also make the connector smaller and put it on rotators so you can rotate the halves. That would make the most sense in puzzle games to me, such as an alternate way to rotate a Tetris piece. I hate Tetris though, so I don't know how excited fans of the game would be about doing that over and over. How about using it on a less used action, such as turning a key.]]>Oct 20th 2006 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 21st 2006 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 20th 2006 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 20th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 20th 2006 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 21st 2006 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 21st 2006 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
Nintendo's controllers use accelorometers and infrared, the Fusion controllers shown here use "sound waves." Nobody is getting sued.

However, Nintendo does hold a patent on the D-pad...]]>Oct 21st 2006 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/Oct 25th 2006 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/in2games-fusion-controller-spices-up-next-gen-motion-sensing/
