Link Heavy. Wii Development Sketches
Link Heavy. Wii Development Sketches: We love this stuff. Gizmodo posted early sketches and a conversation they had with Matt Presta regarding the development of the Wii. We recently got a Wii at the office and it really is AWESOME. Big Brain Academy is THE BEST (c) DJ Khaled.
As Matt Presta told Gizmodo: "We were brought in to help [Gyration] pitch their gyro technology (which had previous only been used in pointing/mouse devices) to Nintendo for more complex use in gaming—an idea way ahead of its time back in '01. Based on a requirement to roughly preserve the existing Game Cube button layout we created usability concepts that would work for one- or two-handed gaming. We experimented with different configurations through sketches, models and interviewing various hardcore gamers."
