The sensor bar being compatible with the Wii-U is disappointing news, because it means it will still be required. I was hoping they would have found a way to do motion gaming without the need for it.

The sensor bar is required for the pointer functionality. The pointer won't work without it.

Skyward Sword has shown us that Wii MotionPlus can provide some intuitive pointing controls. The only time you actually need to use the sensor bar is when booting up the game, but you can pretty much quickly recalibrate it anytime it goes off by pressing a button (which is still a con, though).

On the other hand, Link's sword automatically recalibrates whenever you point towards the screen and could indicate that, after a long time without the sensor bar, the sword will begin to drift.

Well the sensor bar is needed for backwards compatibility. Very few games use the MotionPlus device. Most games that have pointer functions use the sensor bar's IR light, including the Wii Menu.

I just went through all 131 pages of this thread and consolidated every piece of Wii U news in here into one nice new thread

Pre-E3: Wii U in Review (News & Rumor Consolidation)

So I hope you guys not only read it, but enjoy it and then spread it across the internet, because I bet you don't remember half of the stuff that's on there.

I remain in awe of your patience and fortitude, and thank you for making my life waaaaay easier.

I shall do my part to spread its contents throughout the interwebs. It shall be as a virtual version of herpes, but treating it shall not lead to cold sores!

BnM definitely deserves to go to E3.

Sarail · « **Reply #3257 on:** May 30, 2012, 11:52:44 PM »

I think he's deserving of being the one who introduces the Wii U to everyone at Nintendo's conference. Sheesh.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #3258 on:** May 31, 2012, 02:33:50 AM »

I'll do you one better: he should get Reggie's job as the head of NoA.

Mannypon · « **Reply #3259 on:** May 31, 2012, 04:26:30 AM »

I think BnM should just have his own section of the forum lol. I find it amazing that other people working in the "big" and "popluler" sites don't even put in half the work that BnM does to provide us with a steady streem of information and their getting paid lol. Its insanity.

Quick question for BnM though, I've been wondering about your screen name for quite a while now lol. Did you create it becuase your black and your mild, you like to smoke black and milds or both? lol. Sorry to ask but I gots to know or the mystery will drive me crazy lol.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #3260 on:** May 31, 2012, 04:53:37 AM »

lol He's black and he likes it mild

I dont smoke anymore, but it used to be both.

He certainly does! Reggie probably knows who he is by now, he'll get a personal invite to E3 next year or something.

Someone should make a joke account called "WhiteNSpicy" which would be BlackNMild's arch nemesis.

I would think "CaucNHot" be a better one.

How do you pronounce "CaucNHot"?... Yes, someone must do this, just for the jokes.

Gearbox is saying Nintendo has listened to feed back, and the controller specs will be awesome.

Probably going to reveal and elaborate on the leak we saw a little while ago during the special preview thing today.

Just click the link while I once again try to figure out the url business.

No...not at all. Only you.

But seriously, BnM is really the only reason I come time and again to this forum. Where else would I go for the latest news formatted and summarized in bite sized form with a dash of optimistic commentary.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #3273 on:** June 04, 2012, 03:24:05 PM »

I'm with Stogi. The rumor thread and the sales thread are the only reasons I kept coming back here. I like hearing how Nintendo is doing saleswise and also want to hear what the latest juicy rumors are and if they end up actually coming true, especially around the time of new hardware.
