Gyroscopes and Accelerometers Compared.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
So are the "Accelerometers" put on low to with M+?
Nice video btw =)
Edit: In the end he explains how the Accelerometers use the gyroscopes data. So those in the nunchuck...Dual sword =D!???
so the wiimote only has accelerameters.. now with the addition of the gyro we can get real 1 to 1 tracking..
this so shoulda been included.. as should more space..
i love my wii but Nintendo cut way too many corners.. and i have way not enough money to fill those corners in
Potentially excellent games for the Wii then.
Forced now as we are to tie one of our hands behind our backs, hopefully games using this tech will be both innovative and challenging - remember the days Nintendo fans.
I would let out a scream of joy were Nintendo to sort out their baby approach to top titles like Zelda and Mario and no amount of brilliant motion sensing is going make me want to play another p!ss easy game in their series
Sort it out Nintendo, you're games are by far the most magical but without any sort of difficulty, it's becoming pointless taking part any more
so that is suppose to be "the" wii-mote
what i really mean is, the current wii-mote is indeed a proto-type then....
1:1 tracking is what it suppose to do
there might be secrets on why Nintendo didn't did that when launch...
1) scared that wii would fail?
2) $$$$$$$$$$$$ had planned the accessory.
3) recently discovered technology?
i have many doubts, but 1:1 would redefine game development once again, i would hope Star Wars The Force Unleash could take advantage of this motion+
but i doubt they would :/ since they denied 1:1 motion early on....
just give me a 1:1 motion New Zelda, where i can decide how to slice up the enemy depending on the angle and position of my sword, then i will be a happy man.
PLEASE!
