| It was difficult to find objective ground on what is an almost totally subjective topic, especially as I couldn't test both control schemes with an equal measure of unfamiliarity. My conclusion, and you're free to disagree with whether the narrative supports this, was based on the fact that my proficiency with both controllers improved with practice, to the point that I could see no definite performance advantage of one over the other, but I could see more potential in the Wii Remote. The thing about your trigger finger never needing to leave "B" is a functional advantage, and I noted how much easier I found it to defend with the D-Pad.
So far as quantitative data goes, all I could really track was my own learning curve, ergo, how many tries it took to beat Krillin. What I wish is I that could have snagged one of my buddies to play a few rounds, Wii Remote versus GCN controller, but I'm actually not sure that's possible. When I booted with one GCN controller attached, it didn't seem to matter if I had two Wii Remotes on, the option for Player vs. Player was disabled. Even if I could set up the match, I'd need to get someone of similar skill to play against, though that probably wouldn't be too hard.
Still, I felt this was a worthwhile topic, as it's the sort of thing everybody was wondering about before the Wii debuted, and nothing conclusive has come out thereafter.
Anyway, thanks for the comment, and glad you liked the style! Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Gah, I totally forgot to upload my images when I posted. Anyone who checked out the Wii Remote/DBZ article, please take another look. They're not great quality pics, but they do spruce it up a bit. Thanks! Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Big Lost fan, me. The pace lagged a bit in Season Two, but now that Abrams is back full time, I expect great things from Season Three. So long as there is a big payoff at the end - and the producers continually assure us they learned from the mistakes X-Files and Twin Peaks made - I'll be happy. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | That's why I put the disclaimer in about my not having gone down this path yet. That said, I don't plan on buying a high-end sound card, more something in the Audigy line, and I'm basically looking to get 5.1 out of my DVD playback, though games are somewhat a concern. I'd be glad to get more advice. Flag this | Edit this post |
