Nintendo Wii control coming soon to PC

We’ve seen movement oriented devices in the past for PCs, notably from Gyration with its range of ‘air mice’, but these were aimed more at graphic designers and weren’t particularly successful in the mass market.

The Eee Stick seems more targeted at gaming, though it is thought that the device would also be tailored to use as a 3D mouse. The dual controllers look more like the Wii Nunchucks than the actual remote. Featuring an analogue stick on one and directional control-pad on the other, it doesn’t seem as though they’ll be nearly as effective.

There’s a video you can watch below, which certainly doesn’t do anything to promote the thing, and doesn’t seem nearly as innovative as the Cam Trax system we looked at recently. - Paul Lester

Alone In The Dark Screenshots - PlayStation 3 version delayed


There's no firm date yet but what we can say is that it's coming out this year. In terms of why it's coming out later, we have the full game running on PS3 and all the features, no problem.

The thing is it's not performing as well on PS3 as we hope it is in terms of frame rate and all that. We didn't want it to come out and have less of an experience for the PS3 gamer. We wanted to tweak that up and make sure they get the best experience on PS3 as much as possible.
