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."
Uh huh, something big is going down... like what? An extra special pinku edition? Unless it involves at least four mean motherfuckin' horsemen I doubt I'll be losing any sleep over it.
