That's not what you told her but you still freaked her out - you actually freaked her out so much that now she doesn't want to go out in the world, she only feels secure has a lvl 60 undead priest in WoW... scary... that's the "Dinkins Effect".

I think I said something about her ass. It was all in good fun. I was looking at the Master Cheif's ass that she was controlling. That thing was tight.

Hehe, I had one of those as well... what a piece of shit, still having a configurable section of game pad may be very cool. As long as there is a real d-pad and buttons, analog could be done easily on the touch surface. Meh

The way she pumped that shotgun... fantastic.
I don't forsee Nintendo abandoning typical controllers in their entirity in favor of touch screen only technology because it is just too gimicky, even for them. If they truly do this I too sense an utter failure of their next system. As for Nintendo making too many kiddie games, well, I don't really fault anyone for making games that appeal to youngsters. They deserve games to play as well, and I don't mind seeing a system that almost entirely revolves around those games either. That way a parent can buy a system knowing full well their child will have a decent amount of appropriate titles to choose from.
If you are over 10 and want to play a game with substance grab a PC, PS2, or Xbox; and even then you will have to choose your games carefully because flashy graphics and a M rating don't directly indicate quality. If you hold Nintendo in disdain because they have wandered far from the roots of 2D gaming, which they had a major hand in establishing, and the good old days you grew up with you might as well grab a modded Xbox and play the roms of old because, as unfortunate as it is, those days are gone.

I wouldn't mind a touchpad controller for the new Nintendo console if I thought it would be put to good use.
Nintendo already has a touch-oriented piece of hardware out and all it's good for is making Mario 64 awkward to control.

There wouldnt be many Platformers or any non-gimmick games, because of the controller. In fact, the next ninty console would probably spawn a range of nintendo-unique games because of the controller, most multi-formay games would be tough to control on a touchpad...Vincent Volaju said:

I don't think the article was nessacarily refering to a touchpad.... More like a controller that was touch sensitive in many areas...

So gyroscopic touchpad controls? Yeah. I wasn't going to buy this anyway, but if something like this happened I don't think many other people will.

I'll wait until it comes out to see whats up.
I'll trust nintendo, the only company that comes out with revolutionary mechanics to make something that works and is innovative.
I don 't think it will be another Jaguar contorller.

i'm sure lots of people said analog sticks were stupid when we all used D pads and joysticks for so long, at least they are trying to innovate shit, i'll have to wait and see, the touch screen on the DS was strange as hell for me to play metroid with.
