Nintendo: “Move & Natal Only Wii Copies”

NOOOOOO.
REEEEEE~ALY?

The public couldn't have possibly seen this without your statement, Miyamoto.

Copies

BUT WORKING COPIES OF WHAT NINTENDO PROMISED

God damnit Miyamoto, Head goes outside ass before talking.

What a dumb move. The Wii has already proven that not everyone is into jumping around while playing their games. Sony and Microsoft are just digging their graves with these "new" remotes.

"More than that, we’re concerned that others are trying to do something similar for the sake of it."

Copying for the sake of it indeed

Don't make me laugh, Nintendo. Didn't you copy Sony's Playstation disc-based system instead of keeping the stupid cartridge system?

I don't think there's much they can do Natal.

Move is quite similar but probably different enough to also be safe.

That's to be expected... Miyamoto really isn't - I mean this seriously - isn't really into video games, right? He doesn't follow the news, he doesn't play the competition's games.

So I guess he missed the last 15 years of PC webcam games, though to be fair, I think they probably peaked in the late 90s... and sucked.

That's really what Move and Natal are though - the Wiimote is closer in function to the Power Glove. IR, sonar, no big diff - it's multi-beacon sensor tracking to drive a cursor interface. The other two are robot vision software to interpret feeds from a camera.

Natal is overpriced, impractical crap, I'm not going to get it. Move, however, shows some promise for being able to do Wii in HD basically, and better than the original. Sure, Nintendo may have popularized it, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved on...well, we'll see if any decent games come out using Move when it comes out.

Two future failing product, may be...two future hack products that can be use anywhere, win!

for as long as motion controllers lack force feed back they will always be shit

I see where they're coming from accusing Move of being a Wii copy, but Natal seems more like an Eyetoy copy to me.

omg an absolute 1:1 copy.
just pathetic.

I have the PlayStation Move and, honestly, it's pretty awful. It keeps miscalibrating, especially in games like Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead 4. Nintendo's Wii remote is not perfect even with Plus but at least the pointer stays on target instead of constantly drifting.

They are ignoring the fact that the wii itself is a ripoff of a controller which was already available for the pc when motocorss madness 1 was released.

I seriously fail to see how the Natal or the Move will get any decent succes. Most of the 'hardcore' gamers are already bored with the flailing movement controls and I doubt Microsoft or Sony would release hardcore games that can only be played with the Natal or Move.

Which leaves the casual crowd, but why get the ps3 or xbox360 and then spend another 100 euros when you can get the Wii for a third of that price? There are plenty of games for the casual gamer on the Wii.

I could actually see the Natal having some succes if it's really innovative and all, but I don't think the Move will.

The PC (once again) pwns them all.

It's pretty simple. Nintendo is making a killing in profits from the Wii and DS due to their ease of use and expansion into non-gamers.

Sony and Microsoft only see $$$ and they want as much of the pie as possible.

Project Natal is not a copy or the Wii, its a copy of the eye toy but I think SOny gave up on that, sony's magic wond? hell yes thats a copy.

If project Natal actually works (which considering that fact they probobly had this in development for years since the eye toy) then yes it will and it will kick f*cking ass, without breaking f*cking TV lol

I don't really get it.
Move is just an revisit of the EyeToy, now you can use it without destroying your flat.
Natal is just an EyeToy knockoff, complete with house destroying width requirements.
The Wii was just a console version of the Sega Dreamcast motion sensor.
Then again, if one company isn't going to do anything with their so called innovative features. Might as well let the others have a crack at it, if that's what the people want.

If God says. It's true.

I can agree with them about Move, but I think Natal is bringing something new to the table even if the initial impetus behind it was sparked by Nintendo's success with the Wii.

“Whenever something we have created and presented is followed by copies, we always feel it is threatening".

And what they really just said is: "You just copy us everytime. You suck."

Move is a superior Wii Clone in my opinion. While Natal ganks the premise but implements it in a radical way. Personally PSmove mixes tactile controls that everyone needs(life is motion and tact) where natal is just too fluid wave hands in the air sort of deal without any "gravity" if that makes any sense.

Natal has more UI and casual promise(outside of games). Where PSMove is purely game related.

So the real question is, will we connect Natal with USB? If so imagine hooking one up to your PC with 3rd party drivers and playing hentai games.
OH YEAH.

I think it's funny how Nintendo called wiimote "way of the future gaming" and now they're getting pissed about others copying them.

even i 'm sony fanboy but i must agree with that title - copy freak

How the hell is Natal a copy? Whatever your feelings are about Natal's future are, they have nothing to do with what it actually is. It's a movement detector, not a motion controller. Hell, motion controllers of all kinds have been out since duck hunting.

yes they are copies. They are more advanced than wii but still copies. And as if i care. This whole motion sensing wands and cams is load of bullshit use normal controller on don't play games at all.

Thanks for stating the obvious, Nintendo. :P

Of course they're copies of the Wii controller.

But until they are standard equipment, I doubt there will be a significant number of games that use them.

Nintendo's chief failing, without motion control, wii games are unimmersive!!!

What Xbox and Ps3 can do as an add on, is something Nintendo does as a core. No wonder they feel threatened.

Better hardware will kill nintendo, even these rip-offs since they can exceed what ninty can do...

It's fair to say that the PS Move seems to be a copy, but NATAL is no such thing. NATAL is more like a copy of the Eye Toy than the Nintendo Wii.

I don't know of any XBOX or Playstation fan that's interested in the Move or NATAL. I'm sure there are some, but the Wii has a niche market.

Oh Nintendo... You came and you flamed rip-off products... But then they're doomed to fail, Nintendo.

I, personally am not understanding the 'attack' on Sony and Microsoft, the failure of both of their products will be hard enough on them, Nintendo's comment is just the icing on the long awaited fail-cake.

Why would Nintendo waste money trying to combat two future failing products their user bases aren't interested in the first place?
