- TIGA calls for government to reassure UK games industry
- Mario Maker fans have built a better community website than Nintendo
- Nintendo’s upcoming NX console may use cartridges instead of discs
- Gears of War 4 on Xbox One will push performance using DirectX 12, PC to have 4K and unlocked FPS
Just let us know what excited you at E3 2016 to win the loot swag.
The same company that brought us the NES Advantage has proven the Wii control scheme isn’t as bad as critics speculated. The beauty of adding the “waggle” technology is limiting your button count to a reasonable level without overwhelming gamers.
Sony took pieces of this concept in their PS3 controller and its ability to detect “tilt.” Xbox 360 stuck with the beefy controller with lots of buttons and analog sticks. Not just a D-Pad but two analog sticks and a ton of buttons to press, some pressure sensitive as well. What of our next-generation console? Maybe a few new buttons?
