Why the backlash towards Wii MotionPlus?

MotionPlus finally being released is ushering in 1:1 gaming, unfortunately many gamers have backlashed this new peripheral claiming the tech should have been released at launch.

Atleast we have it. $20 extra for 1:1 is alright in my book.

Should have been standard. Now someone else will take advantage by having true 1:1 motion controls as such.

So should Rumble in the Sixaxis. I guess its wrong for Nintendo to charge 20.00 for an add on when they should have went the Sony route and made a whole new controller for 60.00 for people to buy..

@ Product, If you look at their name it will answer all your questions about their comment. I know it did mine

He's just another new account. His last one was Conviction_Goty2009, and he played a MS fanboy.

Mods here need to figure out a way to stop all these multi account trolls. It's really killing this site for me. =[

LastDance6223d ago (Edited 6223d ago )

sony were in the middle of a lawsuit because of the rumble situation.

nintendo weren't.

Australian retail = wii mote = $69.95
Nun-chuck = $29.95
Motion plus = $29.95
----------------------------- ------
$129.85
That's for one player.

poopsack6223d ago

I didnt know rumble was required for many future games making it obligatory to buy the Dualshock 3.

xabmol6223d ago

GoW3 will require rumble.

@Seferoth

Why is it you drudge up something against Sony when the article doesn't even contain the word "Sony"? Do you have some irrational fear of the PS3 or something? No kidding the SIXAXIS isn't perfect, everyone already knows that. So Nintendo's trying to improve their experience, that's a good thing for Nintendo gamers, and they're trying to offer it at a reasonable price.

Wow, whatever you said to me must have been quite inflammatory to have it removed by a moderator. I merely asked why you felt the need to drudge up things against Sony when Sony isn't mentioned in the article. I'll never defend Sony as perfect. They should have dealt with the Immersion thing a lot sooner, and yes the DualShock 3 should have been released alongside the first PS3s. But at least they finally swallowed their pride and did good by offering this gen's DS. Should it have been dealt with first? Of course. But at least it finally came. They've made mistakes but at least they deal with said mistakes.

it should have been there from the start since really it's doing what the wii was always meant to do BUT you can't really complain about it, just gotta be glad that it's finally hear. i know it might actually convince me to buy a wii now (i played wii sports golf ages ago and hated how you could just wave your arms about and still win)

@Seferoth75

The six axis was a rip off for sure .
However half the publicity around and before the wii's release were promise that are only now fullfilled with the motion plus .
Wich is one of the reason it pisses me off , and i dont feel yet like buying the addon .

Seferoth756223d ago

Please provide a link from NIntendo to prove they promised 1:1 motion. You're pissed at your own ignorance of a product and want to lay the blame on anyone but the person responsible.. You.

Gr816223d ago

Just curious, what do u think of the PS360's motion control 'alternatives'?

Marty83706223d ago

Not accurate, false claims of 1:1.

ChickeyCantor6223d ago

I would like to see those claims.

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

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.

jznrpg74d ago

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.

Smellsforfree74d ago

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.

Loktai74d ago

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.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996) Still Feels Like Peak 90s Star Wars

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Redgrave104d ago

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

shinXseijuro104d ago

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
