A Wii Remote is not a fucking SNES controller.

[Forest Dweller]

So stop treating it like one. Motherfucker, I just rented the new Donkey Kong and have been playing for several hours and already my fingers are sore. That shit didn't happen when I played the SNES, and I now see why. For one thing, the buttons and arrows are larger and thus they fit more easily against your thumbs. They also all have softer edges so they don't really dig against you. Half the buttoms are concave as well. The result of all of that is that you can play a SNES game all day and not have problems, but that's certainly not the case with the Wii, as I can now see. Shit gets irritating after a while. And then there's the shape of the Wii remote, which is smaller and thus doesn't fit into your hand in nearly the same way, causing you to hold it awkwardly, which causes soreness, for instance, in the base of your left thumb. Bullshit. Oh, and did I mention that on the back of the Wii there's a pop-off hatch where the batteries go? You know, with one of those spring-clips that you press in order to open it? That's in the perfect position to chafe against the crease in your right hand where your middle finger meets the palm. As if I didn't have enough. What I would give to just be able to use my old SNES controller, I don't give a fuck about the shaking motions. After my session with Donkey Kong I got out my old controller and just held it in my hands, felt the soothing weight of it. It's like night and fucking day. What a load of ass.

And how many other games use this set-up? Kirby's Epic Yarn? Metroid: Other M? New Super Mario Brothers? And no telling how many more since it's obvious these 2D platformers are successful. Fuck. This set-up is not made for extended gaming, FUCK YOU NINTENDO for putting me in this situation! The Wii should be played with the remote in your right hand and the nunchuck in your left, end of story. I don't care if you're making 2D platformers, FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT, because I don't like your bullshit!

Love the game, by the way.

[Luzur]

if you cant handle it, use duct tape.

 

[Blackula]

Good thing these games can play themselves

 

[Destroid]

This is the best controller ever made. Look how concave that d-pad is, it's concave as fuck.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Use the Gamecube controller or something, they pretty much pay you to take them nowadays

 

[Felix]

I play DKCR with Wiimote + Nunchuck I have no problem holding the remote sideway though.

and it's not the same as SNES controller, it's NES controller.

 

[Konjad]

Reminds me I've bought cool pad for computer which I never used except once just after I purchased it because I was only playing cRPG/strategy/FPS games... same goes to joystick. Payed 150zł (~$50) and used it only twice in Commanche 3... damn.

How do you even hold this piece of shit?




Playstation gamepad was the only true gamepad.

You hold it in your godamn hand, if you aren't a woman or a child with tiny hands it is very comfortable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wi ... Controller

Donkey Kong's not on that list.

I'll try the nunchuck combo option though, see how that works.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Okay, the standard combo works fine for that game. I feel better. I think I read that New Brothers Wii allows it too. Hopefully. Still, now I have even less reason to look forward to Metroid: Other M.

The new DK is awesome, by the way. And hard, harder than the original three.

 

[SCO]

phooey

Worked on the amiga, thus the only controller worth bothering with, like ... ever.

Someone block the imagines, we don't condone shock porn on the codex. Take your dirty consoles elsewhere.

 

[Luzur]

goddammit you fucking whiners.

fuck shit ass!

 

[Suchy]

niggas, please.
stop spamming with your console crap.

 

[MetalCraze]

But gamepads are better at racing games than keyboard when steering wheel is just too clunky of an option

I'm appaled.

Because shitty console ports don't support joysticks...
