Now we all know that the Wii seems to be the home of pointless gimmicky crap as well as some hot games but just what the hell were the programmers of this shit thinking? http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14329533/rock-n-roll-climber/videos/rockandrollclimber.html Not only is it one of the most pointless and dull ideas ever but it doesn't even look nice.

I was really hoping the guy would fall and the Mortal Kombat "fatality" sound would play. (Shao Khan) "YOU WEAK, PATHETIC FOOL"
My God that looks horrible. I think the Wii library is leading to another video game crash, at least for the Wii. I feel like it's 1983 again and every time I go to the store, there are hundreds of cheap games I've never seen before, and will never see again, just like on Atari 2600.
As opposed to 1997-99 with the playstation? I actually like the idea of novel methods of interactions with games. At first they're not all going to be winners but hopefully it will end up leading to more refined uses down the road. Did anybody else, upon reading the title of the game, think it was going to be a rock 'n roll themed ice climbers?
Yeah, that sure looks like fun! Most games on the Wii are complete garbage - the funniest was that "Chicken Shoot" game that was basically a bad Flash game they released for full price - but that should've really been expected. When a games company makes a console that's not as powerful as the others in the same generation but has an innovative control system, are people gonna make cheap crap that costs very little to produce, or think of good ways to use the controls - especially when the console has become incredibly popular, and the cheap crap will probably sell just as well as the good games (and if not, at least it was cheap to make!) that require actual effort?
Don't forget the GBA either! Near the end of its life it pulled a total PS1 and ended up as a platform for every godawful shovelware game imaginable.
You think this is funny ???? (...ok it is ) but Nintendo has more surprises for YOU: http://www.siliconera.com/2009/08/10/nintendos-patented-horseback-riding-controller/ :lol:
Nintendo (as well as many other companies like Apple) often files "fake" patents they have no intention of ever actually using, along with their real planned products, to disguise what their real plans are. That way competitors, bloggers, etc. can't get a "sneak preview".
But, wait the seat isn’t limited to horesback riding! Nintendo says their inflatable seat can be used to simulate riding other animals. The patent lists “bulls, camels, elephants, burros, dolphins, whales” and imaginary creatures such as “dragons, griffons, unicorns, giant eagles” as possible mounts. Hopfully Sega Doesn't see this and decides to make a new Panzer Dragoon game using this controller..... heck the possibility of simulating riding on a giant Eagles does sound intresting... Seriously this is just a patent.. doesn't mean this will even come to market..
I can have more pain in the ass for free by insulting a couple of punks on the street. Game looks like it wasn't worth the 8 bucks. Then again, if something like this was released for a 32-bit system I'd probably try to get it, just for a laugh and if it cost 16$ that is. But a download-game... NOOOOO, NEVER! Bad game you!! :lol:
Actually, I have it on good authority that the first game for this peripheral will be "Don Quixote". Play as the Man of La Mancha (or Sancho Panza, the optional second player) and ride Rocinante through 12 levels of early modern Spanish action! ¡Adelante!
Am I very sick, or does any other member see a huge potential in that horseback riding controller? It will help many girls (even some boys... who knows?) discover many new sensations, just like that vibrating Harry Potter broom did a few years back. Man, it's like the Rez Vibrator for kids!
