however the esdf (or wasd as some would use for unknown reasons) is highly faster, and its not all about movements and weapons, theres so much more that it gives you having any key to use for anything you want all around you.

the remote acts LIKE a mouse in some ways, but if you wanna know what its more comparable to, would be the mouse pens for a PC (doubt they really still make em) but i used one many years ago and its a pen, plugged in, and you point at at the screen and the mouse moves where you point. the remote is a great advantage over controllers in FPS games, mouse is still more accurate and a ton faster.

and you'll say wait till i try it to make that comment, and i will try it, however im telling you right now, i know the technology, and i know of many things like it. the reason the mouse will still be the better choice in FPS games is because its lying on a flat surface and not being held in the air. the table giving you some resistance ups the accuracy.
but again, it will be tried and tested when it comes out.

In the early stages of the "Metroid" demo, it looked like this trend would continue, as I was all over the screen. By mid-way, though, I was better able to move and aim – and enjoyed the game far more than I did with the GameCube controller. ("Metroid" fans... well, you're probably already pretty excited.)

It turns out I'm not the only one who has this problem with standard controllers.

"I was a developer for many years before my current role, but I've never been a very good gamer," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told me. "I've never been able to control a first-person shooter, but as soon as I used the Revolution controller, I found it very easy to control the game. So, I think that's a genre that's particularly well suited for the controller."
