The Rest / General Discussions / Wii to have a Classic controller

Edit: Looking in the reflection it looks like there's two buttons on the underside.
Good call man. Maybe those will be used for the Genesis games. The genesis had 6 face buttons, right? I never owned one. The Genesis's normal controller had a directional pad, a start button, and 3 face buttons, and they later released a 6 button one, primarily used by fighting games, which had a Mode button in case a 3 button game had issues. As such, they could just use the L/R buttons for the fifth and sixth buttons, and the select button as the mode button, if not flat out ignore that and make the detection automatic/recode to be a non-issue.

It's worth noting those are games Famitsu /expects/ to see, not an official list. May be there, and they're probably good at guessing, but even a solid professional guess =/= official announcement. I'd be glad to be proven wrong by a list of games Atlus is showing off or something, though. Edit: IGN's list of E3 games. I see a distinct lack of Devil Summoner - while it doesn't confirm Persona 3, I'm sure that proves that more will be shown from Atlus than listed.

The Rest / General Discussions / PS3 to sell for $499, have motion sensing controller

Well, if you can get HD via the component then that... Helps. But I still find this whole 'Hey, let's use SPECIFIC plugs and force everyone to buy whole new thousand dollar TVs!' just because of fear of piracy... When said new method is probably going to be cracked open /anyway/...
Well, you probably shouldn't be buying a PS3 for movies anyway. And maybe Sony'll do something that bypasses the ICT for the PS3. :P

It took 3 years between the first two Halo games, I think November 2007 would be perfect timing. Personally, i've enjoyed the games, but I find them insanely overrated. :P

Are these different games, the descriptions have been so very vague not sure what to make of them. Yes. FFvXIII is an action RPG by the KH team. FFXIII, apparantly, is a more traditional FF. Or perhaps FFXII styled, I dunno at this point. Different directors for each game too.

Forget FFXII. I want my VP: Silmeria, and Seiken Densetsu 4. Those were definitely my two favorite games of SE's lineup. Your favorite game is something that hasn't even come out anywhere yet?

As long as it's justifiably $60, I don't mind. However, there's several games that're 60 yet are $50 on current gen systems, one case /$40/ on the PC, with no upgrades outside of something like achievements. Quite frankly, that's a load of bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated. Ofcourse, it looks like those games are the first to hit price drops, so maybe people will knock it off.
Edit: A bit late, but looking at Superflat's response... I fail to see how this is less serious; I think it's more so if anything. Everything you opted out of getting for the X360 premium pack could easily be bought later on and added, outside of chrome plating on the disc plate. This, however, removes several built in features that may not have solutions later purchasable for - ergo the only way to get them may very well be to buy the more expensive model. Combine that with the fact $300 was the standard new console price, while $500 is a fuckload more, and... No. This is /much/ more serious.

That shell controller wasn't Nintendo's idea, but rather IGN's concept art. If you pay attention to the details, you could tell that not only was it photoshopped, but it couldn't work anyway. I know it was probably photoshopped. But I thought that nintendo hinted at a shell controller, not THAT specific one. Either that, or IGN flat out lied for no good reason (I doubt that somewhat). Well, they may have intended just that originally, but plans changed for whatever reason. Glad it isn't that shell anyway; button layout's great for GC games but just isn't as practical for a good number of older games.
