The arc controller would still cost more money to use, and mere promises of better motion control doesn't mean it will be (as in even if the specs are higher, programming is still important).

And why should the graphics really matter when you have your own lightsaber? The actual saber is just a glow effect, and it's not as though Lucastarts graphics are that impressive even in HD. Plus the resolution won't matter in terms of the gameplay.

Well there is going to be a force unleashed 2

Cost isn't the most important thing if you were nuts about playing a lightsaber game with realistic motion control. If you already had a PS3, the choice becomes a lot simpler.

If I have two versions of the same game using comparable 1:1 controls, then I'm going to buy the one with the better resolution and graphics. There's no reason to buy a downscaled version unless you were really attached to the Wii.

But ultimately, it depends on what platform/control system the best sword action game comes out for. With the Arc and Natal, the Wii isn't the only option for motion control games anymore. Assuming either aren't using more dated, inferior motion control based systems (they aren't), there's no reason to believe that the controls for either would be inferior if the developers do the job right.

"Cost isn't the most important thing if you were nuts about playing a lightsaber game with realistic motion control. If you already had a PS3, the choice becomes a lot simpler."

You mentioned the cost of the Motion+, so ignoring the cost of doing the same on the PS3 is not fair.

"If I have two versions of the same game using comparable 1:1 controls, then I'm going to buy the one with the better resolution and graphics. There's no reason to buy a downscaled version unless you were really attached to the Wii."

That's false because it assumes there are not other factors. Any Wii game costs less, for one. The scale wouldn't matter for 1 on 1 battles. Loading times would also be shorter. If there is any moving around, using the nunchuck would be more comfortable than using the gamepad in one hand.

So don't give me that crap about the only possible reason being how one feels. Even if you don't intend it, that's the same BS logic Wii bashers use.

There hasn't been a game for me personally worth buying M+ add ons at any price. That is a very fair statement.

Even buying them for $10 is a waste if there aren't any games I'm interested in playing that require the attachment. There will be at least one game in the near future that will make it worth my time, but not right now.

Ninendo is about as notorious for releasing a lot of add on peripherals as Nintendo fans are for buying them, even when not fully warranted (Wii Speak, Wii Zapper, Balance Board, Motion Plus, Vitality Sensor). Even I own a Wii Zapper (no longer used) and a Wii Balance Board (no longer used) and I am by no means a loyal Nintendo "fan."

You're clearly emotional about Nintendo, so there's no point in arguing with your personal preferences. But for those who aren't in your category, Nintendo doesn't offer all the best solutions, and in the near future, they won't have the entire motion control market to themselves either.

"There hasn't been a game for me personally worth buying M+ add ons at any price. That is a very fair statement."

It's not your choice. It was the faulty and unfair claims you used.

I dk, We'll see how many hypocrites there are with the Arc first.

Id guess not for another year so Lucasarts can put really inferior versions on ALL consoles, and inferior waggle motion controls, at the same time.

the force unleash 2 would be cool, i wont be getting the sequal unless it supports motion plus

it wouldn't even be hard to market the game, all you have to do is show someone swinging the wiimote and show that it is 1:1 with the lightsaber and you should get 2 million in sales. I find it hard to believe nobody is making this game already.

Ummm, because 3rd party core games don't sell on the Wii?
