Nintendo Unveils Wii MotionPlus

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday July 14, 2008 @07:29AM from the out-to-spoil-someone's-day dept.

Tim MacDonald writes "In a pre-conference announcement at E3, Nintendo has unveiled the newest accessory for the Nintendo Wii — the Wii MotionPlus. The Wii MotionPlus combines with the Wiimote's accelerometers and the Sensor Bar to give true, almost 1:1 matching of motion. More to come during Tuesday's conference." If all these battery mods and add-ons to the Wiimote continue my controller is going to start looking less like a controller and more like a quarterstaff. Looks like the wrist strap is going to have to go through another round of beefing up.

you're a fucking dumbass
I've played all I need to see on the wii

no one understood that the system couldn't do lightsaber battles

THIS WAS THE MARKETING PLAN
all anyone thought when the controller was revealed was "sword fights"
they deliberately forgot to mention that it was impossible
and the gaming media was so wrapped up with hope for their favorite company that they forgot to analyze it
pretty pathetic really

the saddest part is that people still haven't figured it the fuck out
