Nintendo announces Wii MotionPlus. True 1 to 1 controls.

Announcement

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.

its like the baseball bat in wii sports, as apose to the sword in LoZ:TP

edit: it means instead of waggle you can now control an object in the manner in which you are in real life.

I don't get it:? What's different?

ShaneBeck

from now on the Wiimote registers every movement you make with your arm. No more half assed motion sensitivity

If they fix the storage space situation on Wiiware I am keeping my Wii. this **** is huge

So they're refining the motion-controls? Excellent. 8)

This is stupid, why not release an updated Wii mote?

Just give me my friggin headset Nintendo the motion controls work just fine.

Seems pretty interesting. Looks like Nintendo is fixing the flaws to their console. All they need to do is fix the storage problem and online and it'll be perfect

Will the nunchuck still be attachable?samusarmada

darkslider99

so are they finally admitting that the wiimote can only sense rudementary motions? how will this come into play unless you have games built that need it?

Ah, cool they actually did it. Now we need some kick ass FPS.BillGreen68

^ You speak the truth.

MILKAGE.

if they meant business they would have released this with the original controller. lol sheep.

i perfer system specs over remotes. would you rather have a HDTV or a Standard TV with a motion sencor remote?

thats what i thought.

Interesting. ALthough, I already feel like the Wiimote offers 1-1 motion control. The thing the Wiimote seems to suck at is games where you have to face away from the screen...like with golf games. The controller works amazing when pointing at the screen, or shaking it. But anything that relies on the motion only, and you aren't pointing at the screen, is always glitchy.

Will this add-on fix that problem?

Will the nunchuck still be attachable?samusarmada

It seems so. If you look at the picture, the Motion Plus has some kind of opening at the end.

phew, I couldnt quite see based off the picture :P

Sounds cool. I can't wait to see a game that supports it.Luxen90

yes

if you notice there's a removable cover at the botom They better have some good games for this

HeHateMe_basic

I have both an HDTV and motion sensing controllers.

MILKAGE.

JPOBS

So its going to be what the Wiimote should have been the whole time?SpruceCaboose

pretty much

I said to myself, when a good game uses perfect 1:1 motion, I will buy a Wii, so if this is real, motion wise, then all they need to do is release an amazing exclusive game that uses it. 110million

This is compatible with all games, I believe

Ah, cool they actually did it. Now we need some kick ass FPS.BillGreen68

i found fps control already worked fine because it used the IR sensor which worked well to start. it'll be this like sword fighting and hand manipulation beyond pointing that will benifit the most.

Ok it's total BS that this yet another accessory. But if it works well enough I'll get it. Grudgingly...

HUGE is the right word, my friend. Combined, all the combo could register with almost perfedct exactitude the arm's movement. Think of all possibilities. This time, they could be almost limitless.

This should've been standard at launch. Something tells me that this will COME with a key first party game soon to be announced. Thats usually how nintendo deals out new tech. (Remember the expansion graphics card that came with Turok II for the N64? Or the rumble pack that came with Starfox? And the horrid Wii Wheel with Mario Kart.)

Yes well, most games woulden't have been designed for perfect 1:1 motion, so I doubt it will just flat out work and make everything flawless.

Dammit. Sony did this to me with rumble, now this with Ninty. Ok, MS, toss me some add-on that should have been included free from the start...

*looks at XBL*

Nooooo!!!

True, but it will fix many of the problems the games have with controls, but it still won't make Ninjabread Man a good game.

Yeah and when the Wii launched with the wiimote the possibilities were also limitless and they turned out to be pretty damn limited when you look at the software we got afterwards. I wouldn't get my hopes up about this. So far nothing Nintendo does is as we imagined it would be. Their best games rarely use motion at all.
