i am not a wii fanboy, but sony/360, u should start moving away from that silly thumbing and tilting interface....

Games that i can imagine suitable for Wii motion plus (not as a gimmick) are mostly sports games like sword, wrestling, tennis baseball, boxing, bowling, golf etc. How bout FPS? gimmicky at most. How bout driving/flight simulations? Maybe, but i don't see how the current wiimote is inadequate. Just like the wiimote, wii motion plus will get a share of a handful shovelware 'experiments' in the future. coz you just don't know what works until u introduce it to the market.

wii sport resort still long time more leh. end july
pre order virtual tennis or grand slam tennis first. they will come out earlier around june.
I like to preorder, but i not sure i am in the country that time. that is always my problem nowadays.

super smash bros brwal New game play wii motion plus!

no lar, is not coming out, but that would be something yeah. a good workout too.

Wonder how will motion plus enhance FPS? remember motion plus makes your wii mote more sensitive to movements, but it does not make the infrared sensors (the one used when u point to the TV) more sensitive. So, i can't see motion plus can help in making an FPS any better other then providing gimicky features. right?

i dono, but anybody seen 1st person figthers/brawlers before? i don't mean 3rd person like madworld, or fps.

motion plus is good for that noh? pasang 1 on the right hand, and one on the left hand, u already have a realistic fist brawl. add 2 more and pasang at you legs, then u really fighting using all 4 limbs..... if wii support 5 motion plus, can even use your head (select wisely your choice which head to use) ....maybe next gen.

boxing without motion plus is different. Have u tried wii sports boxing? sucks big time. coz it is not percise. it can't really measure whether your boxing glove is at head level, or chest level. and it can't measure the exact placement of your jab. it can't measure the power of your jab, only that u are making one. and finer movements to your hands is not reflected in d game. motion plus can measure all that.

FPS - perhaps you want your shotgun to load more canggihly. or perhaps u don't like to always see you gun butt always at yr shoulders, maybe u like to shoot with the gun butt at your forehead. or maybe u like to have a shot at your own balls and see how it feels like digitally. Wii motion plus boleh

microsoft is already in the works of motion controllers. sony i heard is also doing the same. but they are trying to be different from nintendo, so lets see what they come up with. I love competition. but for tradititinal gamers they might still maintain the old controllers. to me games of the future must have emmersive experience in mind. virtual reality is the way to go.....imagine playing an fps by being in it, not just watching it externally from the TV....that's the drift i would like gaming to be heading to

I definitely am. on the tennis package first. but which one is better ah? virtua tennis or grand slam tennis? waiting for the review on these. but grand slam seems more open in their preview. not like virua tennis they are very secretive. secretive before launch is sign of problems. not a golf fan, otherwise would consider the pga tour. got freesbie golf too, that one i can relate. but not worth to get it just to throw freesbie

u know what really compliments a wii motion plus? i can only imagine coz they don't exist yet. A head gear over your eyes and ears that allows u be emmersed in a 3D world of your favourite FPS. why can't they come up with that already. the technology is already there.

dono if official news or not. but if it is, way to go microsoft kotak x tiga enam puluh! i will be your new fanboy

no lah, the title is wii motion plus, other games also got support wii motion plus.
btw, is ps3 really 100% copycat? ps3 got camera to 'see' the controller, wherease wii m+ doesn't have (the infrared sensor bar doesn't count coz u need to point it to the TV). wii M+ rely on its on board gyroscopes and accelerometers to determine its position base on movement, which might not be so percise. I don't know. but i just wonder which is the more superior motion controller. Anybody knows the differences?

at the current rate, i don't expect wii m+ to be available in mal until at least 2 weeks from now.

do we need to do a system update for wii M+? coz i thinking logicaly the API (computer talk) for wii M+ support is not yet part of version 4.0 yet. so a some sort of system update should be required, or maybe, when u load the game for the first time, it will kau tim for u.

must start putting a "Wii inside" sign outside my house. we will look like a bunch of retards to the people looking in, especially with wii resort

kat manila, bulu hidung wii motion plus pun belum nampak lagi. must tunggu sampai lembu2 mereka pulang kot.

to lob and do dropshots still must press button leh.

i play tennis. its a hard game, so maybe that is why is hard to learn coz its realistic, right? so i really wonder how close it is to real tennis. guess i wouldn't know until i get the game. but pressing buttons for lobbing and drop shots is kurang realistic.

vt 2009 - no need to press buttons. u want to lob, u errr....lob la. i read the review:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/virtua-t...s-2009-hands-on

quote from sega:

"I understand our competitors are using... buttons?" The SEGA producer demoing Virtua Tennis 2009 to us on Wii (also PS3, of which more later) allows surprise and a hint of scorn into his voice. This, his tone implies, is the brave new world of MotionPlus. Buttons are so last year."

yes. in fact vt 2009 and gst features are nearly identical.
