Haha...sucks to be in the NEVER category...right?

Oh, Nintendo and their retarded ads.

" I recommend you don't buy it though. Like almost every other Nintendo accessory, it will eventually become largely unsupported, like the Wii Wheel and Wii Zapper, as well as the Wii Balance Board. "

The Wheel and Zapper were just pieces of plastic, but the Balance Board has been used a bunch, though typically with games i have little interest in. However, Punch Out utilized it, Shawn White, Tony Hawk, Rabbids, even Tetris, you name it.  "

Equilibrio, Wii Music, EA Sports Active, We Ski&Snowboard... For a $80 accessory, the balance board has quite impressive support so far. "

Wow, is that it? The most support it has is no more than 10 games. That's not major support. "

No, you don't get it. When Nintendo released the controller, it should of had precise motion controls. It WAS released with motion controls. The 360 and PS3 WEREN'T released with motion controls. Their motion controls aren't even out yet. What are you saying? "

Why are you so hung up on a piece of hardware that costs $20/US and can be cheaper if bought bundled? Wii Sports Resort will cost $49/US. As far a I'm concerned, Nintendo did what they had to do. The Dual Shock 3 came without rumble, but they made a new one with rumble. You don't hear people complaining about having to buy another one. This happens all the time, you make something and then you make it better. The first Xbox had a crappy controller, so they made the S Controller. I bought one, but did I say... "Hey, why didn't you make this one in the first place instead of making me buy another one, because I hated the one that came with the machine."The original Playstation came with a regular gamepad, but they developed the Dualshock, I bought one. It made the games I played better.Your arguments are all over the place. Nintendo had some limited motion controls with the vanilla remote, but they worked fine when implemented will. What of it, move on. Jump on the new train and if not, stand aside. "

Actually, the technology used in Motion Plus is so small that it wouldn't really be a problem to build it right into future Wiimotes; especially considerung that it most probably renders the old gyroscope obsolete.

No...
I am not going to get this, until there are serious games that support Wii Motion Plus.
These Wii ______ games are usually only good for 20 minutes.

Archery dude is SERIOUS.

It is really cool that they are adding Wii Motion Plus to the Will but I feel like it is going to create a lot of development problems. If a developer is almost finished with a Wii game and is about to release it they might have to really consider adding Wii Motion Plus support which could take a very long time to add. This could cause another drought of Wii games.

Can we expect a quick look

Sounds good, will probably grab this deal when it comes out.

We've known of Motion Plus for over a year, developers probably knew even earlier.

You don't think so what? It's been at least at two E3s so it's been over a year... As for Lucas Arts, they threw a tantrum because their game sucked (they said it for Lightsaber Duels) and they wanted to blame it on something else. It could and should have been a better game, Motion Plus or not. Any "omg where did it come from" issues are done with a long time now. Besides, Motion Plus is just released, 7 months after Lightsaber Duels. They wouldn't have delayed it this much anyway (why didn't they? 7 months is a long time, they could re-create Resort's sword fighting using their own models and levels and assets in that time, with some force powers and frree movement on top). No matter when they showed it, there could always be some developers that claim they wish they knew sooner, but since it's released over a year after the fact it's a non issue. Heh, many developers only take a little over that to develop a full game, not to mention simply the gameplay mechanics with the assets ready.

Your archery issue sounds weird but it doesn't sound like you're doing the same motion since it doesn't detect it in one case (I know, duh, heh).

You should make a new thread/blog for your impressions so they're not buried under this nonsensical "zomg Brad is paid to promote Nintendo" "zomg the Motion Plus should have been built-in from the beginning" "zomg no gaemz will use it so don't buy it" etc.

Another impressions thread? Huhm. Surely I can't be the only one on the GB forum who's playing the J version.

I have now had time with all the games, btw., and sadly I must revision my thoughts on what MotionPlus can do and what it can't do. I was right all along in our PM conversation about Ball-on-a-stick, Al3x. And I found out why the archery is the way it is.

But maybe it really does deserve a blog post.

That ad was ridiculous which I think actually works in Nintendo's favor because it's memorable even though it is quite dumb.

"My point is that nobobdy should have to state that they "aren't ashamed to admit" they like a Wii game.  Just like them or don't.  A few words like that can show a great deal of disdain for a product that should be approached with the same degree of fairness shown to the other two platforms and PC's. "

Oh god, I can't believe how much fun the swordfighting duels are. Too little challenge, though. Been playing it for about 2 hours and have already reached Pro level.

And by extension, nobody should state they "aren't ashamed to admit" they like any game? Come on, man, Brad is on your side: he's using this comment to to challenge to the negative perceptions of hardcore gamers. As a Wii fan you may take it the wrong way, but if you were someone who avoided Wii minigame collections or the Wii in general, the fact that Brad is not ashamed to say he likes this game may change your opinion.The negative perceptions of the Wii are not Brad's fault, but they are real, and there's nothing wrong with Brad acknowledging them and challenging them. "

It's just a cheap piece of plastic, why do you even want to use it, it restricts the position you can have and compromises the all important comfort factor no-motion-controls advocates keep talking about... Works in lightgun games (but also stuff like World at War I think, it's not like there are many good FPS titles on the Wii, yet) if you wanted it for a "gun" though there are better shells.

So, as said before, the motion plus is as versatile as the vanilla remote, since it basically enhances its capabilities, therefor can be used in just as many types of games (if not more), unlike specialised hardware like the balance board which was promoted as a "tool" complete with Wii Fit and any game action you may get is a bonus honestly (and there's quite a bit, considering how specialised it is). That alone ensures support, especially with the bundles that almost guarantee a high install base will be reached soon enough, which is what aspiring developers will be looking at when creating their titles that have potential for such motion plus support.

So far, I've gotten 5½ hours out of that game, single player alone.

But does it have a gravure mode?

Nintendo should have handed this one to Tokyo Vikings.

@damnboyadvance: 

Sorry, I'll try and be more accurate with my facts because "Not even half" is so much more precise than what I said.
My point is that a nice few do support it, like all the light-gun style shooters are zapper compatible.
Also The Conduit does support the Zapper, one of the most mentioned things about the game is that it has fully customizable controls.

Prehaps you should check your facts?

You can change it, yes. But you can't do certain things like set reload to a motion, because holding down the reload button does a different function, and you can't hold a thrust or a swing. I imagine it's similar for the crouch button, you need to hold it down and therefor it can't be a motion (they should have added a toggle on/off setting for that but I guess it slipped their minds). Perhaps you tried to switch functions in a way that made reload fall in a motion and that is why it didn't let you. You could set the grenade throw to the remote thrust and the melee to a button (somewhere on the d-pad) to have it playable like that.

But like it has been said about 10 times before, a cheap plastic shell isn't comparable to an add-on that actually enhances the function of the remote without compromising access to buttons or doing anything else that requires a specialised way of holding it, so I don't see what you keep going on about, and why, and why you feel the need to put people down by bringing up their spelling in a worldwide forum, just because they told you hey, you don't know everything so stop acting as if you do.

The balance board isn't like the motion plus and has been used quite a bit in games it makes sense, there simply aren't that many. The gun shells aren't like the motion plus and the wheel isn't like the motion plus, because they fall in certain genres, restrict access to certain things, or require a special way of holding them which may cause issues if developers want more functions, but they also tend to be used in the games it makes sense to. The motion plus has that one thing in common with them, as it will also be used in games it makes sense to, and given its nature, it makes sense to use it in a much larger variety of titles than those particular accessories can be.

It's all so simple I just don't see how this discussion can go on for more than one page...

Yeah, that's all very cool. Let's talk about the game. This morning, I clubbed a Mii that looked like Reggie in the face. Yeah. Where's your Haloz now?

I told you you should write a blog post or a new thread :P

Write me a good opening paragraph and I'll do the blog post.

...Why do you even need an opening paragraph, just get to the point. I got Wii Sports Resort and here's what I think.

Damn .. .. the more Wii bullshit I see the more I now both Natal and shiney ball of a stick will suck ass too

That video was LIES ALL LIES

playted the jap versh i like it alot sword fighting is awesome especially the fruit chopping most satisfying wii contriolls yet.

I am so done caring about anything Nintendo does.

Lol. SPAAAAAAAAAAAM.

So I wrote my blog post, and it is 6 pages long. What now?

Now you shorten it to a single paragraph's length in order to cater to the average user's attention span. Then you post it, making sure you link it to the game's forum so that it shows up in that page and in the general discussion forum. Then you go play some more.

It's already shortened to the max. :D

Looks like fun

THESE GRAPHICS ARE FUCKING AMAZING!  THEY LOOK LIKE REAL PEOPLE!!!  RRAAHHHH!!!
