The Wii-Mote The Wii-Mote, In depthThe top half of the Wii controller features a directional pad and a single, oversized A button. If you hold the controller like a remote, your thumb will have immediate access to the D pad and the A button. The underside of the controller has a B button that functions like a trigger button. The controller features select, home, and start buttons lined up horizontally halfway down the controller, and the bottom half of the controller has two buttons stacked vertically. We've seen some controllers that have the buttons labeled as A and B, but other controllers have them labeled as 1 and 2. In any case, if you hold the controller sideways, you'll have two horizontal buttons for classic Nintendo gaming.
The bottom of the controller has an attachment port for peripherals, should a game require more buttons or a specialized controller. The Wii controller will have an analog-stick attachment that plugs into the controller. We can expect to see a variety of extension devices, but the number will have to remain low, or they will have to be packaged with games, because add-ons typically have low user-acceptance rates.
Launch Titles Wii Launching TitlesNintendo hasn't announced official Wii launch games aside from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but company executives have promised that all of its major franchises will make it over to the new system. Nintendo's press event at E3 06 was heavy with game announcements. The company announced Super Mario Galaxy, a great-looking addition to the Super Mario franchise that takes advantage of the Wii's remote and nunchaku attachment to give Mario a host of new moves, like the ability to swat away objects with a controller sweep. The Wii will also have a new Samus adventure in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Nintendo also announced three new franchises: Excite Truck, Disaster: Day of Crisis, and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and Sega revealed that it is working on a new Sonic game.
