Wii MotionPlus!

I don't understand why everybody is bashing this. I guess when the Wii came out this technique wasn't "ready" enough or just was too expensive to put into a console that just yet had to be proven a succes (after the Gamecube that's logical thinking). They had to compete with the XBOX360 and the PS3 for god's sake! I think that's why they also just put 512 MB in there. The thing had to be cheap to become a succes in the first place. Well, it became a succes, so now Nintendo is doing things to improve the system. Well done! If it serves a good purpose and it isn't too expensive it's fine with me. Now we only need some external storage device and we're laughing.
 
i highly doubt this will be backwards compatible with most games. most games chose to register with an indiscriminate flicking motion. thats all programming. you can't go back and change the programming on a disc without releasing a new version. maybe games that werent so lazy might be able to use it backwards compatibly.

really we should have had this from the start. i thought the wii had it when i bought it. now i feel dirty.

it better be cheap. or free. and games better use it. shovelware sure aint gonna use it. so what is? i guess a few nin games. maybe im just being a pessimist but games normally dont use the extra peripherals. why would this one be different?

and this controller is going to weigh a ton by the time their done with it. first the condom, now the enhancement supplement. all this stuff makes the controller heavier and heavier.

Yeah.. I think they didn't had the technology on the Wii launch.. now they found a way to do it and decided to use it as an add-on..
 
Could newer Wiimotes come with this included? That would be the wise step to take.
 
whou hou new extra big condoms ahem... jackets, i love recieving those big brown envelopes from nintendo, but i guess they'll sell the "jackets" in the same box with the add on thingie

anyway, finally i can cut someone the way i like without having to fear the police
 
I seriously think Red Steel 2 will be used to show this off in some way. Not having accurate sword fights was a major complaint at the start of the Wii's life. So the guys at Ubi are obviously going to be first in line.

And why was everyone moaning? Chances are, the technology would have been too expensive or unavailable at Wii launch. You would have been whining in the first place if the already expensive Wiimotes were $25 more on launch.

Anyway, good news this, looking forward to tomorrow's conference.
 
Maybe released with a 'wii sports 2'? I agree about the sword fight thing but what i thought was most noticeable was in wii sports tennis. I know it's just a tech demo but it was awful how it ddn't care if you were forehand or backhand, you could just swing it indeterminetly. As also mentioned, would be useful to help with putting on golf - but don't know where this would leave Tiger Woods 09 if that's already well into development (which i'd assume it is)

just looking at the photos - is that a release button on the bottom? if so where would the nunchuck go?
 
Maybe it just adds a gyro

Hum.... an acessory that does the same thing as the wiimote??What is the next app an wifi plug for nds for you to play nds with wi-fi more far than before....
I would only buy something like this if it were bundled with Resident Evil 5 or Soul Calibur IV??

Did you hear Nintendo we don't want anymore acessorys for you to steal our money we want some hardcore games that we are losing for the george foreman grill, and the brick 360....

Maybe this stupid thing has something to do with the H.A.M.M.E.R project.
 
It doesn't sound like a too bad idea but they would really want to take advantage of this technology to make people want to buy it. Unless it's going to completely enhance the gaming experience, I don't see it being a necessity.
Maybe they are releasing it for the musical conducting game Miyamoto showed off at launch? Or how awesome would it be, to have a Super Punch Out Wii, which uses the Balance Board and 1:1 Wii MotionPlus?

Seriously, this post made no sense...it's meant to improve something the Wiimote has.
 
I don't even have a wii, but I hope to god this gets built in to future wiimotes. I hate all the extra shit you are expected to buy when consoles come out.

The wii has 2 parts to it's controller (now 3), not to mention all the extra shit you don't need, the balance board being the only one I know of that isn't just a piece of plastic. Also, am I right in thinking the zapper adds no functionality?

The 360 has a fucking optional harddrive, this is the most rediculous thing ever, considering the Xbox had one built in and the developers that used it got some dam good results, now they can't.

The PS3 has a new wave of controllers, great (I don't care about lawsuits, they didn't need that sixaxis crap, could have just made wirelss dualshock 2s).

Original Xbox needed an addon to play DVDs (unless you modded it, woohoo!).

PS2 needed a multitap and memory cards to keep up with the Xbox, making it more expensive even years after launch.

The dreamcast needed those damn VMUs, which were hardly used to any good effect, and again, considering the Saturn had built in storage, this shouldn't have been the case.

God, companies make me fucking sick. I know they are out to profit, but don't any of you who say "I can't believe you are complaining about this" feel like your arses are sore from all the butt fucking you are recieving from them? They only get away with it because you/we let them.
