PS2 rip-off Wii Remote to be unveiled at Leipzig Gaming Convention
It was bound to happen. At this years Leipzig Gaming Convention, In2Games are all set to unveil its very own motion-sensing peripheral for the PS2.
CEO of In2Games Elliot Myers said, “The Realplay range of games is aimed squarely at those PS2 owners who want to play wireless motion-sensing games without needing to splash out on a new console.” In other words, the Wii’s making loads of cash, and we fancy a slice of the action.
With 6 games to be released in time for Christmas at £29.99 – featuring Tennis (oh that’s new), Pool, Golf, Racing, Bowling, and something called Puzzlesphere – the potentials there for the PS2 to nab a chunk of those gamers who either don’t want to shell out for the real thing, or simply can’t get a hold of the still difficult to obtain Wii console.
Whether these titles will prove to be even half as enjoyable as what those Wii owners have been enthralling themselves with for the last 6 months remains to be seen, but it’s pretty blatant where the idea has come from. Right, In2Games?
