Gaming Wii Motion Plus: your first impression

[Hero-Link]

WiiSports Tennis with WiiMotion+. The video quality went down when I uploaded it but if you look closely you can see the ball go down the line as I aim down the line and across court as I aim across court. Wiimotion+ works!

wii motion plus only works with GAMES THAT SUPPORT IT.


Learn your facts.

Hahaha, that video is hilarious. Great job, Evan.

You guys do realize that he's just poking fun of Wichoxp, right?

lol, no offense to anybody but I'm guessing that the people that didn't understand that he was taking the mickey were American. For some reason a great deal of Americans have a problem with sarcasm-related humour.

i like motionplus but i dont like grand slam tennis (i play at home). virtua tennis seems better. i was lucky enough to try it for 5 minutes at mediamarkt.

Has anyone experimented with the TW WM+ bug I posted in the game forum?

I found an odd bug when playing Disc Golf using the WM+.

Instead of trying to throw the disc how you normally would, try this:

1) Pick up the disc by holding B
2) Point the Wiimote at your feet
3) Swing the Wiimote directly upwards and release B
(like if you were trying to throw something straight up in the air)

You will end up with a pretty straight throw that goes about 150 yards.

It kind of works without the WM+ too, though that can be expected since the normal Wiimote doesn't really know where it is. Without the WM+ though it only gives about 60-80 yards.

Just been playing WS resort and the motion+ is fantastic! Works amazingly well

I have a wireless nunchuck and putting in the + and the wireless reciever gonna be a big mother of a mote. Be like holding a broom handle. Now show me a silcone cover to fit that.

Wireless nunchucks can't plug in to the wiimotes with m+... I think there's like one brand that does but I don't know which.

Well thats shite. I hate the wired ones fooking cable keeps slapping me in the face when I play rabbids tv party, lol doing the dancing.

 

[UnFallen]

What brands make wireless Numchucks???

I don't like the rubber protection, and I want to remove it.
The manual says I can't ever remove it, why not? I suppose it's very hard to get the WM+ back in the rubber?
The rubber makes my hand sweat and then they WiiMote just gets slippy.
Has anyone removed it also?

i took it out for a while but now its back. it looks rubbish without the jacket, bits stick out here and there. i would recommend keeping the jacket on, not for safety reasons though but because it helps keep motion plus tightly in place on your wiiremote. if it is even slightly loose it will give false readouts of motions that dont happen.

got 2 motion plus devices now, sword fighting is amazing. its beyond words amazing.
i made a darth vader mii and play the adventure mode. who needs lucasarts after all! ha!

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Anyone else did it?

Swordfighting in Wii Sports Resort? Realy that much fun? Can't wait!

hey guys i found loads of hidden items in archery, if you hit them you get a 10 every time (like bulls eye)
i saw someone found a melon on level 3-easy on youtube and decided to see what else i could find.
so far i found a water melon, a honey melon, a loaf of bread, a cake with a cherry on top, and a round gold thing. some are very hard to spot but there is one on EVERY single level. get spotting and shooting to earn that badge

 

[lostdwarf]

i like taking out their legs, or swiping from the floor to the air to send them flying. Later levels are very skillfull, blocking is fun! so is watching your every move being copied in real time. i havent been this happy since wii sports bowling.

ps wii sports resort bowling is loads better than wii sports bowling. 3000 point game anyone? (100 pins every frame, 4 player! rock)

Tried Wii Sports Resort today.

Motion Plus is decent but I'm not sure the basic games on offer really show what it can do. Sure there is frisbee and sword fighting, but most people won't be able to tell a difference between regular and m+ controls.

I did enjoy Wii Sports Resort a lot more than reviews said I would though

 

[Youkai]

Well i hoped for more -.-
can't really say its the motion plus but at least in wii sports resort it annoyed me ...
only makes the wiimote more heavy and longer.

oh my oO

just bought this game and i wonder why everyone loves this so much ...

played table tennis first as a RL TT player and hoped that it takes at least even a little bit the movement i do but nothing -.- i hit backhand the chara runs around and plays forehand oO I try to hit hard and i do a mega slow slice oO and no way of aiming ...

well i thaught "shouldn't have excepted more" than i started Bowling with the thaught "well can't be much different than the wii sports one, can it?" oh my oO it can ... i hold wiimote down turn my hand some degree to throw from right to the left ... .... omg why did i hit the right out ? doesn't even come close to what i do ... even motion plus sucks mega bad and makes it worse than without it or the wii sport resort bowling just sucks ...

well up to the next game ... basketball ... it shows my how to do it ... every ball gets way off the than i hold the controller completely different from how it was shown "wtf i made a point oO" still no controll of where the ball is going at all

last one archery ... well the game is ok BUT somehow i dunno ... ... well i will let it its ok.

so after that i shut off the wii a little bit annoyed and angry that i payed 50€ for this -.-

For me WM+ is just what we needed from the start when Wii lauched, We cant complain we have it this late cus we had fun with the wiimote already and I believe we would have complained for a wii mote 3 times its original price if we had WM+ wiimotes back in 2006. Now WM+ is the best it can be for this generation. If we compare it to the ps3 wand, we can see sony achieved the "off position fix" or decalibrated situation by adding a big ball of light thats easily recognized by the eyetoy, but for the most part with wiisports you can do pretty much the same thing the guy of the playstation 3 wand demo did at the e3

just my 2c
