The motion controls are the same technology as a mouse pointer. I bet they came up with the idea during a Power Point presentation. The innovative idea was making it detect waggling. The Wiimote is fine gadget and they've milked it very well. But no matter how amazing the control is I much prefer a superior library which both HD consoles offer. |
Thats easy to say for us today but for Ninty it wasn´t that easy even if they were pretty sure about it.
Motion controll for the Wii wasn´t that easy to get it to work they spended more then 10 years on the ideai and to make it work. First mention about the revolution was in the early 90´s and thats how long they worked on it b4 releasing it.
Granted the plan was to release with/during hte gamecube era but the sales were probably not good enough for them to chance on i then and they choose to continue to perfect it and serve it with the Wii as the main dish.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.
