Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Bigs Wii Controls Detailed

http://www.thewiire.com/news/773/1/The_BIGS_Wii_Controls_Track_List_Detailed

Publisher 2K Sports, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, provided new details regarding the Wii version controls for its latest sports title, The BIGS.

In addition to "larger-than-life ballparks" and "over-the-top action", The BIGS on Wii will see players using both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to bat, pitch, field and run the bases. 2K Sports detailed each set of motions, with the descriptions provided below:

    * Batting: The Wii controls sense swinging angle, timing, and pre-swing motion, allowing gamers to aim their hits anywhere in the outfield, display their own unique pre-at-bat "waggles," and unleash power or contact swings, all based on the motion of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

    * Pitching: With Wii pitching gamers can throw distinct types of pitches using a different motion. Pitch type and speed are determined by a combination of arm speed, wrist movement, and button selection.

    * Fielding: Both fielding and throwing are controlled through directional motions of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk which allow you to make plays on the field including jumping catches, wall climbs, and double plays.

    * Base Running: Sprint fast and slide into bases with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. A "drumming" motion with the controls allows you to control running speed while pointing the controls down allows you to hit the dirt and slide into base.

"We are very excited to bring our first 2K Sports title to the Wii," said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "With The BIGS we really focused on ways to maximize the Wii's very unique controls by applying them to all the significant actions in baseball. We're always looking to deliver unique gaming experiences and the fun gameplay of The BIGS on the Wii demonstrates our commitment to innovation in sports video games."

this actually sounds well planned, should be good if they do it right... I will say that the wii actually makes sport games sound good, but they need to be a helluva lot better than wii sports. good to see.
