Well, combined with the wii motion plus that might be true, but the wii mote
itself just doesn't have the ability to give you very accurate data.
Like if you stand the wiimote straight up and then rotate it clockwise, it
has no way of even detecting that movement.
I believe with the wii motion plus attachment, it would know about that
motion but im not sure cause i got outa wii dev right before those things
came out.
I pitched an idea for the wii motion plus attachment too :P
The idea was that that you were a kung fu master on a quest for revenge and
for some reason you only used one arm (i had a couple storyline ideas for
that to make sense) and you controlled the arm with the wiimote / motion
plus.
You would use the arm for blocking and striking, redirecting, crap like
that.
You had an energy bar that recharged over time, and when you held down the
trigger button, time went at 1/4 speed and your energy bar would start
draining.
So basically you could fight guys at normal speed and then maybe you walk
into an alley way and a guy jumps out in front of you and 2 guys jump out
from the side and start attacking you. You hold the slow down button, fight
these guys at 1/4th speed (thus doin a better job of defending and
attacking) and then when you were done it would show a replay at full speed
so you would feel like a bad ass :P
I thought it would be a neat game but meh, they also were not down with the
idea for some reason hehe
What you think, think people would play that?
but unfortunately using only the wiimote without the wiimotion plus, you
wouldn't be able to make something like that ):
