It's not that there is any inherant evil in a keyboard or that anything is
wrong with one or the usage of one in games. But using a keyboard
exclusively would be like Nasa digging out the old rockets that first took
Neil Armstrong to the moon. Would it work? Sure--after all, it worked
before, so it would work again--but the computer alone, which was huge, was
weak and one like it could fit in your pocket today. Keyboarding in games
was fine then, and I'm not saying it's bad to use them--only just don't
limit yourself to them--there is so much more out there!

I don't see anything wrong with a keyboard, as a lot of games for sited
people still use them.

I guess that to me, there are so many keyboard-based games that one more
would be--well, just one more in a long line of them. What I would do if
I were to write the game is, I'd first develop for the wii, the the mouse
and joysticks, then the keyboard--and if people aren't sure, just put up a
trailor of the game. If that's good, people will want the game. It was
the trailor got me wanting Grizly Gulch so much, not a demo.
Just my two cents.

Hi Scott,
That was my thoughts exactly. It is not so much the cost of the
controller as how useful it would be outside of this one single game.

Hey Che,
Problem you might have here man is that, unless I've missed something
which is very possible, your online fightathon would be the only
accessible game using this controller. That much money for a
controller isn't a big deal, but that much money for a controller to
play one game only plus the cost of the game starts to become one
maybe. Another thing that's worth pointing out is that a lot of
people find themselves with some kind of internet hookup most places
they visit now, but wouldn't be taking their Wii controller around
with them 24/7, so you'd still be needing to maintain playability from
the keyboard/other controllers. Don't get me wrong dude I love the
idea, but as a formerly beatemup geek/guru, I'm more drawn to the game
idea than the fact that it's using a Wii controller. I've only ever
played a few games online (quake, mk3 over a lan, sound rts etc) and
already for me it's the best part of gaming. Can't wait to see more
access titles developing where it's possible.
