Also, thanks for the Wii gamepad pic. I haven't been following the consoles closely. Still, without the L2 and R2 buttons, Wii might get shafted by some games that are catered with multi-button controls. That would mean Wii contollers might have to do some weird button combinations while PS3 and 360 just press the L2 and R2 buttons.

Also, Wii would get some FF series, just hope it isn't a CC.


The nintendo FF's after PS don't count as FF's. Not to me. Not ever.

I highly doubt SE will be moving to another console. They left nintendo because they saw it for what it was. Sinking into the abyss of 8 year olds and crappy games. I can't imagine how the RPG industry would be now if Square stayed with nintendo, but it'd most likely be crippled.

You realized you just listed all mega sequels. As I see it, people with a brain would be buying a system for new franchises and games or big changes in old ones.

My friend just got 360. DOA4 is pretty cool. Xbox live is ok I guess.

It's a shame they don't interconnect online play for console and PC versions of FPS games. All the noobs with a mouse would own the console rats. ^_^

I might get a console if they add mouse for it one of those days. It's just frustrating to play when you don't have enough control.

Aiming with a mouse is much easier than with a controller if you're playing an FPS

Seriously though, why won't they add mouse support for consoles? It should be technically easy enough. :huh:

Because have you ever tried using a mouse on a lounge? >_>

They have, anyway. SNES mouse, the PSX mouse, etc.

Mostly used for the starcraft/C&C ports, and the SIM line of games. Oh, and Mario Paint, I think.


FPS should stay off console, anyway. It's a dull genre, un-aided with add-on elements.
