Nothing. It's third party and it obviously won't be compatable with 99.9% of games.

 

Serious question as I don't know and am interested, how many Wii games use motion sensing on the Wii?

The only one I can think of that doesn't is that crappy Fire Emblem game that was pretty much a straight Gamecube port in every sense (although it was never released on GC).

Oh alright, I was thinking for a second the Wii also came packaged with a classic controller or something, thanks.

Thanks for that

I gave you an honest (and probable) answer.

The Wii is more than just a games console now; it's a party piece and fashion icon.

I can't see this PS360 peripheral derailing that just because it does something similar.

I had the opportunity to make a quick jab. I took it :P

Welcome to the next-gen 360 owners!



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

Pixel Art can be fun.

No developer will bother to use it. Aside from the fact that it doesn't come standard with either console and thus can't be counted on, HD devs remain too mired in the outdated graphics-are-everything model to give something like this a second thought.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

I do not think that the Freedom will affect the Wii much at all. At this point the Wii's appeal is as much its software as it is the controller.

Yes, I mean that.

Why didn't you put that in your first post!
