Nintendo unveils the Wii Motion Plus:
They write:
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.
“It’s pretty cool, I guess.” Well, this product would be more exciting if we knew to what it would be applied. Why do we need such precision? In other words, what games will go with this? Is it “Mario Brain Surgery”? “I’ma Wario, I’m agonna work tha prefrontal cortex!”
I guess we’ll have to wait and see more from E3!!!
