Zeemote Wireless Wii-Like Nunchuk Controller Makes Mobile Gaming Less Sucky

The major reason I hate cellphone games is the super-shitty controls. A pad designed for stubby thumbs to punch out series of digits is not an optimal gaming control surface, especially when it comes to 3D movement. The Zeemote is a Bluetooth analog joystick—that looks a lot like a Wii nunchuk, and they've even got an accelerometer version coming—making it possible to move around in a platformer without pitching your cellphone into a sewer.

We've been using Nokia's N-Gage as a punchline to (extremely nerdy) jokes for years now, ever since we first heard about Sidetalking—long before the N-Gage actually hit the market and, you know, failed. Ewan Spence over at All About Symbian's written a fairly long piece about how we should stop mocking the N-Gage and pay attention to how Nokia's been using what they've learned about mobile gaming with the N-Gage platform to sneak improved mobile gaming experiences onto their incredibly popular S60 phones: More »

Latest by geedeck: There actually were some decent games, when they were leveraging the platform correctly. Pocket Kingdoms, Rifts, some WW2 turn-based game, some decent stuff. Even the Tony Hawk game was well executed. And you don't even need to try and market more »
