Developers can't rely on people owning this, so how are they going to fully support this. Look at all the Wii supporters who said an Xbox 360 motion sensor controller would never do well because its NOT STANDARD. The only way this will work is if about 20 million people buy this thing. 

 

Developers are already supporting the balance board, so you don't need 20 million to get developer support.

That being said, why can't it sell 20 million? I could very well see them building it into future Wiimotes. It's possible it could be standard with all Wii's and the people who have older Wii's will be able to buy it separately.

Yes, this is what I hoped the Wii would be able to do, when it's new controls were announced, so I was a little disappointed when I first played a Wii and it didn't have enough accuracy and too much input-lag for my taste. With these refined motion controls I can see myself having a lot of fun with the Wii aswell.

@ Godot )

but.. how are we going to pull off the various physically impossible special moves in Soul Calibur with these kinds of controls?

 

edit: I wonder if the WM+ is able to track the nunchuk 1:1 aswell .. in boxing games when using both the wiimote and the nunchuk that would be very helpful I guess.

oooooo cant wait

Has anyone else run out to get one of those wireless nunchuks/adapters? Cause I've already gotten mine in preparation for this so that I can really thrash around without worrying about the cord at all. I seriously want to get this with the Wireless nunchuk, with Balance board, with Headtracking and see just what type of fun you can have with this.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Wow, great demo. Some of the concerns I had about 1:1 motion tracking are now almost gone.

The bad part? We'll have to wait so long for this.

It was all great, then they showed the end... Then it turned perfect.

Recognition is amazing.

And "some" people thinks that HD-graphics is the future of gaming...... how wrong they are.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
