Wiimote pointer feels more accurate on medium sized TVs. With smaller TVs, you're pointing off screen to get the pointer to move where you need it to, and with very large tvs (projectors and such) your pointing halfway to the edge of the screen, but the pointer is all the way at the edge.

The way the wiimote works with the sensor bar is it tracks the led lights in the sensor bar. They didn't use 4 sensors at the corners of the screen because on larger TVs the remote could lose 1 or 2 of the LED points. This could be fixed by using a fish eye lense on the end of the wiimote so that it tracks a much wider angle of view. It would require quite a programming trick.

On topic, I very much think that waggle has become the new standard, just as D-pads, rumble, and analog sticks before it.

Nintendo: leading the game market with technology and innovation since 1985.



Witty signature here...

Wii: 14 million by January  I sold myself short

360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.

PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow  Mnn Crow is yummy.

With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.
