What Games will use Wii MotionPlus?

Literally just a couple of minutes ago TGC posted the news on the Wii MotionPlus. But now TGC question's, what games will Nintendo announce to go with it?

but if the Wii-mote has now added the same accelerometers (which is what the Sixaxis uses) how did Sony steal Nintendos tech?! interesting that, isn't it.

ChickeyCantor5783d ago

People who claim that are just ludacris, Only thing Nintendo did was introduce it to be a Standart( talking Motion gaming ).

mindedone5783d ago

I think they disagree with you stating that anyone who makes such claims will be named Florida rappers/actors starring in roles such as Crash, and cutting albums such as Chicken and Beer.

JoelR5783d ago

Finally the Wiimote will be as capable as the Sixaxis is...

(and I am not flaming - this is fact)
currently the Sixaxis can detect motion on all six axis and to a resolution of .25mm vs. the lesser directional detection of the wiimote with a motion resolution of around 2cm

decapitator5783d ago

Oh..so thats what a wii motion plus is, I did not understand it before.

ChickeyCantor5783d ago

as capable?
Sixaxes doesnt have IR support so Wii still more capable than the SA

JoelR5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

lol... IR makes it more capable as a motion sensor? I guess as a gun for games like Time Crisis it is more capable but for motion sensing IR is significantly less capable as it requires a viewport to a reference point whereas internal motion sensing is itself it's own reference point.

ChickeyCantor5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

Does not matter, in the end Wii-mote does more than the sixaxes.

edit: and dont say : Sixases has more buttons, because more button does not mean its doing more.

Man that extra ugly ass block is going to probably bust clean thru a wall now when thrown. That should make a good news story. Maybe Nintendo toys are no longer toys but deadly blunt objects able to be used as weapons for destruction on small children or household pets.

I think someone needs to step in here and take a deep look into Nintendo's practice.

Product5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

JoelR..........get your head out of sonys butt.

I think its funny how you keep bringing up the sixaxis like it can even compete with the wii remotes all around motion controls.You only gloat about what the sixaxis can do.

Yea maybe sixaxis can tilt more accurately,but what else can it do?Have fun trying to play a boxing game with it.

JoelR5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

Obviously you need to try High Velocity Bowling, etc.
I know what I am talking about - I work with the hardware day in and day out- do you?

acceleration can be calculated from axial change (angular acceleration(Verlet_integratio n)) and even if it could not the 2x Kionix ICs that the Sixaxis use have the ability to measure acceleration. If you have pitch, yaw, roll (aka: sixaxis)(the wiimote does not sense yaw) you can calculate angular change over time. (only time you can't measure change is is directly level movement with no angular change) which the wiimote does not do either

and finally:
http://wiki.ps2dev.org/ps3:... which covers the data format including the accel data that the Sixaxis transmits to the PS3

linkmaster955783d ago

FYI: the wiimote measues everything. Besides, nintendo could sue over the patent. I'm agreeing with Product.

JoelR5783d ago

Wiimote does not measure Yaw properly
it uses a single ADXL330 to measure 3 axis motion
and trig functions in relation to m (fixed) and mi (distance to controller from sensor bar) as well as sensor orientation to determine pitch roll and forward and backward movement.
It has to use rough estimate yaw
The odds are that the wiimotion plus adds a second ADXL330 to that it can properly measure yaw and thus increase accuracy.

Smacktard5783d ago

I don't know why you guys are even bothering. This place homes every Sony fanboy on the internet. I'm proud of you putting up the good fight, though.

JoelR5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

to bad the argument they put up is fallacious in this case.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic15d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos19d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto19d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8819d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies19d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
