Does this new Sony patent remind you of something?

Methinks Sony may be scared of the Wii...

Console with , wii play and another nunchuck.
Component lead(I wish)
Zelda
Monkey ball
To be honest a bit confused about the whole nunchuck, extra controller setup, need to read about that more.

I've only ordered the Wii, but I'm hoping to pick up Wii Play, an extra nunchuck and Zelda as well. Fingers crossed

There's not much to be confused about, really. The remote controls the pointer, the nunchuck has the analog stick and two buttons. Both have motion sensitivity built in, but the remote is the more truly motion aware of the two due to the IR sensor. You'll want both an extra remote and nunchuck for multiplayer in games like Rayman and Wii Boxing.

Basically, Nintendo is now selling controllers one half at a time. It's kind of bizarre.

I would recommend you don't go mad on buying the Nunchucks.
Just an extra remote with a nunchuck is fine.
If you want 3 or 4 players just remotes on their own is fine as
very few multiplayer games use the nunchuck.

Oooerr, this doesn't sound good - PAL Wii's may be receiving crummy old PAL VC games. Apparently Sonic the Hedgehog runs noticably slower and has those shitty old borders.

At the moment the guy only mentions Sonic the Hedgehog as the basis for this, so hopefully it's just SEGA being wallies and everything else will run in proper full speed non-bordered mode, like it does in the states and japan. If we are stuck with shitty old PAL bodges of VC games, however, then that absolutely sucks bum.

Bah, I hadn't thought of that. Crummy PAL conversions ahoy.

Dosnt mater.
If its not a standard with with the system, it wont be used or supported much.
Look at multi-taps and lightguns.
Hardly become standard no mater how cheap they are.

Assuming the photo isn't faked, imagine how hard the user must have thrown the Wiimote.

That is the most ugly speaker I have seen in my life , shame it wasnt a bit to the left.

Theres no way that could have been done accidently.
