Well, going against my gaming habits of past generations, I only own a PS3 at the moment. To be honest, I dislike the 360 with a vengeance (due to its flagship games, its mother company and the infamous RROD) and I've always found the Wii to be a rather silly console (yes, I've played it).

Up until now. With games like Arc Rise Fantasia, No More Heroes and Disaster: Day of Crisis whispering softly in my year how badly they want to be played by me, I feel I must explore the subject that originates my opinion of the Wii: its rather imprecise controller (remember, this is my opinion; keep your flamethrowers in your panties please; this applies to whatever you read in this post).

And so this thread exists for the sole purpose of asking if the upcoming Wii Motion Plus, with its delicious 1 : 1 movement precision, will do anything to improve the game experience on current games. I still cringe in pain when I remember trying to play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and the god damned reticule was all over the place. The concept of the console is an excellent one, but to me the execution has failed to deliver on its promises and potential.

Thank you for reading my rant. Comments, suggestions and well wishing are appreciated. 

This confuses me. I've played multiple first-person games on the Wii (Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel, etc) and I've never had any trouble aiming. Maybe the sensitivity wasn't adjusted correct or something? I believe the Wii's IR tracking and motion sensing are pretty good.

I believe that the Wii Motion Plus will have no effect on games released before it, since they weren't programmed to work with it. Sorry. :-/

As for the reticle in MP3, you can change the options on how fast it moves. and the IR sensor has nothing to do with the motion sensor.

No it wont. And the motion plus is for the "waggle" functions not the IR pointer. Honestly if I were you Id stay away from the Wii, cause if you were having problems controlling MP3 you are likely one of the people that will throw their Wiimote through their TV's while playing Wii tennis.

Hell no, of course it won't.

I mean, why would it? A game has to be programmed to use WM+, titles that that were developed without it in mind will gain no benefits from it.....

Although there might be a way, but it would require Nintendo to do a complete update of the Wii os, but that's just my guess.

And even so, the most it would add to older Wii titles is greater accuracy of the wiimote and not much else.

We won't know until they tell us more about it.

Geez, you people are fast on your fingers. lol

It seems then, that it won't do much for current games, which is a shame. It's true, I might have not properly configured the sensibility of the thing when playing MP3: C. I'll have to give it another go to check if I'd be one of those people that would toss the controller at the tv, like CDiablo said. :p

Like i said, those 3 games are really making me itch to buy one (also, The Conduit is looking yummy) and so I might just wait until a price drop happens. I believe 250€ is still too much for what it is.

I concur that there must have been something wrong with your setup -- if the IR sensor is "all over the place," or even if it jumps and flickers in the slightest, you have a setup problem. I've seen this happen with my sister's high-def TV, which has a black glossy base it sits on, and she or her husband had put the sensor bar on that reflective base; as soon as I saw them navigating the Wii menu and noticed the cursor jumping, I saw their problem and moved the sensor bar on top of the TV where it couldn't reflect, and it solved it immediately. Remember that the "sensor bar" is actually misnamed, since it doesn't sense anything but just emits two points of IR light, and if there is anything reflective under or near them (or even a bright lamp sometimes) it will completely screw up the remote's ability to pinpoint the location of the TV.  

The IR has always been perfectly precise and steady with my system, and it should be with any, barring some problem with your room / setup.

never had trouble with MP3, thought the motion control was incredible....

That was very informative, thank you. I had no idea the name didn't imply the way it worked.

Can you also tell me then the differences between the current controller and WMP (1 : 1 precision and such, before I yet again think it implies something it is not is)?
