@Gnoll I think he was referencing Half Life: Opposing Force, an expansion for the original Half Life, in which one of your two melee weapons was a Pipe Wrench.
@oldgamesonly: In a good way or a bad way? The best aim for the service would to allow newcomers to experience the classics while refining the content just enough so it doesn't feel stale to the vets. By refined I mean rendering the game in HD resolutions, remastering the sound and improving the controls if need be; not a full HD remake, that would just ruin it.
Now that's out of the way, I am so glad that all my money hasn't gone to waste buying those few VC titles. Hopefully the Wii U will have an improved VC service i.e. More games, correct displays, remastered sound and controls, etc.
These tech specs aren't precise enough for me. How powerful each component is down to the very last detail is the only thing that would satisfy me and I'm not surprised the battery life for the controller is so poor, lithium ion cells are outdated technology, they will lose charge even when there is no current draw. Maybe I can rig my controller to use a Lithium Polymer battery, providing I can do it safely and without voiding the warranty.
I think It was mostly due to a lack of interest and other games coming out around the same time. Most people who own a wii aren't even slightly interested in SS and the ones who would be were probably turned off by something like the graphics. COD 1.753, Battlefield 3 and Skyrim were released around the same time, so that probably put a dent in the numbers as well.
Now that's interesting, this will probably inspire some sort of dedicated medical device for this purpose so doctors don't need to use console controls for medicine.
I think for the most part, Nintendo has done well with the wii, apart from the lack of 'Hardcore' games, I just hope they can combine traditional, motion, IR, and touch controls with superior graphic to create something fantastic.
I still don't understand how you can patent an idea or theory, it goes against all logic and common sense! It's because of these patent laws that people like me have such a hard time.
I think Nintendo has got the right idea to strike while the iron's hot and lay as much pressure on the Vita as possible, they just need to focus more on the western market with their videos and announcements.

Fair enough, but personally I think the game's back-story is the real strength. It deserves to be made into an animated short or something.
