is that a frank quitely drawing?

@bp baggins: It's from this comic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We3 It's pretty good and worth checking out fro the libary.

It is Quitely. It's from "We3". I haven't read it but it looks fun.

Also: about goddamn time, Nintendo, HD is only a gazillion years old. If this one comes with non-gimmicky controllers, I might consider buying it.

We3 is definitely not "Fun." It is, of all things, a goddamned tear-jerker. Probably the best thing both Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely have ever done.

re: the "gimmick" convo - their gimmick just slaughtered all competition, and has led to Microsoft sinking cash into their own similar gimmick (that is ridiculously successful in its own right) and Sony claiming their version of that same gimmick is the best implemented version available.

"Motion Controls" is about as gimmicky as D-pad was when it was invented, or as gimmicky as Rumble Pak/Dual Shock was when it was invented.

The biggest problem with motion controls is the developers being lazy fucks about implementing them well.

So there ISN'T going to be a Nintendo game version of We3? That picture got me all excited for nothin'.

@Fatboy Roberts You hit the nail on the head. Nintendo has a lot of problems. The motion controls on the Wii are not one of them.

I cried a LOT over We3. Very good, but ... man.
