Eventhough some may agree with you, I don't. I just think mouse+Keyboard is the best controls for a FPS game, as it's what I'm used too, it's natural and reflexive for me now. However, throwing my arms in every directions and getting a crosshair that's not always in the middle of the screen is something hard for me.

I think preferences are specific to each person, many may like wii better.

BTW I don't even know if it actually is usable on a wii for games.

I think the aim is too good on M&K, in real life, you don't get precision accuracy on a twitch.
in real life... Umm, were gamers not hunters. Its the same for the Wii too... :)
yeah, i know. I just think its not as fun playing a game where you head-shot someone on a twitch. this is definitely not a topic worth debating over and one i'm sure we can easily agree to disagree.

Man, now I'm wanting to make a Wii laptop. Using the browser with a keyboard would be great, plus I'd get the added bonus of a built-in GameCube portable. Hmm...

I have decided not to make a Wii portable on my list - not being able to have a controller built in to a case and having to wave controllers about I think rather defeats the benefit.

I under stand what your saying. However I think Life of Brian has got a good Idea. It's basically a gcp with internet browsing. You could still build the Gamecube controller into the case.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.

Even so, you still need the wiimote to select the gamecube game.

Not if you injclude the wiimote + the joystick of guitar hero, you could make it so the wiimote can be took out of the case and used to play real-wii games. Using the GH3 JOystick you'd be able to launch the gamecube games, the VC games, and the Homebrew Channel. Then you could use a built-in gamecube controller to play games

yeah, but it's really annoying. I understand that you can make a work-around, but i'd prefer a work-around not be necessary.

So would I, but the facts don't care about our preferences unfortunately.

maybe if enough people complain, Nintendo will make a firmware update that will let the GC controller navigate the menu.

Yeah just like how Nintendo will release a adapter to use a Wii-mote on a PC easily.

Or something else.
