Introducing Wii MotionPlus, Nintendo's upcoming accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote

2008-07-14

Nintendo's upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

my fuckin wii wont read smash bros.apparantly i have to send it in to nintendo to be cleaned.

smoking finally has a drawback, who would have thought?

 

[muffin]

my wii had the same problem with smash brothers initially too!!I just cleaned the disc with some compressed air and it was grand...and I'm a non smoker!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I think it has something to do with it being a dual layer disc.

getting a bit sick of the lack of quality games for this, and the saturation of kiddie/quiz games. Mariokart is great and all, but one title doth not make a great console.

Should I convert to playstation 3?!ninjaaaa

I feel the same. I've bought 3 games for it since it came out; Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, and Zelda.

There's nothing else for it. Tried Metroid but that is just the same game as before.

It's just a casual gamers machine now. I'm tempted by the PS3 too. If only it wasn't so ugly and had a decent controller.

Pro Evolution makes two decent titles. That does seem to be about it though.

Boom Blox for Wii is good plus theres a good few decent virtual console games. Its probably not worth getting a ps3 till the Xmas bundles come out:

Support group?

I've had all the good titles and sold them on: Zelda, Mario Galaxy. Still have Mariokart. I thought Metroid was shite. Medal of Honour: heroes 2 is pretty good. Gonna buy Ferrari Challenge when it comes out in a couple of weeks, it's the only realistic racer to come out so far.

Haven't got pro evo but thought FIFA 08 was cumbersome.

I'm still playing mariokart. nomoreheroes wasn't bad.

Too many Wii games getting this kind of faint praise.

 

[Squiggle]

anyone get wii fit?

Yep, some of the activities are a lot of fun, dangerously so... as my legs have attested more than once.

Not so fun was being told by a cutesy animated wii fit board that I was overweight - that's sorted now though.

Well I don't know if it counts but resident evil 4 on game cube was my favourite game ever, haven't played the wii, versin but it's a great title if you never owned a game cube
