Wiimote thumbstick

Wiimote thumbstick

Have you ever wished your Wiimote D-Pad was a thumbstick instead? The makers of this clip-on accessory are hoping you have.

It's called the Remocon Stick, planned for retail in Japan.

Eh, not really. I like the d-pad. If I'm the only one, tell me. Plus it is easier to do directions on d-pads.

I'd prefer that.

Also it would be kind of hard to hit the power button. I mean it is so low already, then plus that .5 cm of plastic. Who knows.

Though the D-pad isn't really the best, I can't imagine the Remocon Stick being comfortable either.

The D-pad isn't bad.

Wow. That looks like the thing I had for my game boy pocket about a while back. It was the same concept, a thing that clipped on and made it a thumb stick.

Eh. Looks stylish but really not all that useful.

Nrrr. This is hard. I would find this a bit more comfortable, but it would be kind of hard to press the buttons right.

Man, if only this would phase out the Nunchuk and that damned wire.

What about the land that I love? Well actually, I probably would move to Japan if I were old enough. Anyway, when can I get this on the other side of this blue marble?

Dude, just use a classic controller instead of putting this on and not putting the nunchuck to good use.

Yeah, I like the d-pad, plus I've already gotten used to it. I don't think I can adjust to a thumbstick.

That is useless! The main point is that ALL of the buttons on the wiimote and nunchuck are digital, even the d-pad. That's a gimmick if you ask me.

I reckon it's cool. I think I'll get one.

I thought for a sec the D-pad was actually replaced. I'll get one to see if it's good.

I guess it might be OK, but I'd have to use a pen or something to hit the power button. It'd be kind of annoying with the A button too.
