Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the zelda's-got-a-gun dept.

Much of the coverage of the next-gen skirmish so far has focused on Sony and Microsoft. The already-impressive Xbox Live vs. the PS3. Just the same, for the first time in many years Nintendo is definitely in the running for top spot. About.com has a piece looking at what the big N is bringing to the next-gen party this November. From the article: "While Nintendo is trend setting with controllers like the Wiimote and, to a lesser extent, the nunchaku dongle, other companies will be following along. Nintendo's game plan from the genesis of the Wii has been touch and gamer-friendly games. They see the future of gaming in the Wiimote. Everyone else, at this point, seems to be just catching up."

    with the Wii design, the wii colors, and the wiimote............right up until I hit nunchaku dongle.

    It reminds me of when someone is speaking french and then says an english proper name. For a split second the wheels fall right off.

    You must read a different Slashdot than I do. The one I read goes from "M$ is evil!" to "OMG XBOX IS SO SHINY" so fast and so often it gives me whiplash.
