Miyamoto Talks Wii-mote Logic

Mr. Miyamoto, in an interview with Nintendo's .jp site, explains some of the logic behind the Wii-mote. From the Gamespot article: "In the process of contemplating how to make a controller that was not intimidating but still allowed for traditional game play, Miyamoto had this realization: 'There's no need to use both hands.' He added that the idea was to break the existing conventions a little, but not too much. 'If you go too far off the deep end, the product will be eccentric for the sake of being eccentric,' Miyamoto said."

"Wii're not interested in all these Wiivertisements..."

I'm not interested in FireFox, but I don't bitch about FF stories. Wanna know what I do instead? If you click on the scrollbar and give it a little nudge downards, the Wii story will disappear.

On a side note: The Wii-mote could provide similar functionality. :P
