Other than time and resources. I think you underestimate how much interface code must be rewritten to make that work. The Dolphin revisions in the examples I posted emulate motion plus on the gamepads without rewriting code. That is the best they can do. And that is just one example of a problem people face when using gamepads. There are others. It isn't just circular motion. It was a specific type of motion that suited the design of the world, otherwise just waving the Wiimote Plus in a circle would've solved the puzzles involving eyes (which it did not, you had to be in the right spatial location and do the right motion for each scenario.) Heavy Rain was a static quick time event game not built around an interactable world. It is entirely time dependent and not spatially dependent. These are entirely different scenarios. There is no QTE engine in Skyward Sword, and they would have to adhoc one to make it work in that scenario. Again, while it might not sound a lot to fix just this one thing, it is much more work than you might think, and they would have to fix more than just this one thing to make it work on the gamepad. Considering motion controls were part of the major appeal of Skyward Sword, it just won't happen. I think Nintendo's controllers from now on will have gyroscopes in them. That is how Skyward Sword emulation will be done, by mapping the accelerometer and gyroscope in WiiMotion plus to that in whatever controller they have next. And it would take a lot of work to get sword play to work right with the analog sticks even then, but it is much more doable than with a controller that doesn't have any gyroscope/accelerometer at all. |
Why do you keep referencing the gamepad! There is no chance of skyward sword ever being released on wii u. Skyward sword HD will likely be coming out for the NX.
