You don't need precision to shoot birds out of a sling shot. When your finger taps near a bird, the screen assumes you meant to tap the bird.

If I'm playing Starcraft, or any PC-style mouse-controlled game, however, being able to select individual units out of a group or change a lot of small settings (ala Diablo), there's no way I'd prefer capacitive. That's why iPhone games have HUGE buttons, and auto-correct functions for the keyboard, it's simply not precise enough for most real hardcore games, which is what Nintendo is trying to get back into, it would seem. Not to mention, as an artist, resistive beats capacitive for drawing any day of the week. Those are my thoughts, anyway. I think that people who like capacitive screens should just invest in an iPad.

For better or worse? Just because Apple does it doesn't mean it works best for gaming. Writing/Typing is FAR superior on a resistive screen. Capacitive requires complex algorithms just to make it accurate enough to be usable.

Resistive definitely has its advantages, too.

For gaming especially, it's far more precise than the rough approximation of capacitive screens.

Stylus control means writing/drawing, where as capacitive is hopeless when it comes to doing that sort of activity well.

I think that resistive works better for gaming in those two ways, even if it's not as "sleek and sexy" as we've come to expect from our touchscreen devices.

Mario, being the benchmark of pushing hardware past where everyone else thought impossible, is going to look simply amazing on this system.

@TwEE Yeah, most likely all PC/360 footage. Projected specs.

Bunch of kids in a classroom.
Clever though!

@MBMBaM fan
Capacitive = finger only
Resistive = finger or stylus
I actually prefer the hearty tap and accuracy of resistive compared with the oversensitive approximation that is capacitive. Especially for gaming.

@DBuckEye That's 60% more bullet per bullet!

Well that's harsh. Of all the wretched games for the Wii, why pick on one that at least tries (though unsuccessfully) to cater to a more hardcore crowd? The level of control customization alone proves that at least SOME love went into making these games. If this is one star, what do "dancing with the stars", "Petz", and "My little Pony" get?
I think you need to tone down the hyperbole a bit buddy. Mediocre =/= Awful.

Vray render.
