It'd still come in a box bigger than a dvd case and upset Kraken

Or they'll just include the accessory so there is no possibility of that.

Well that's what *I* would assume but at E3 Nintendo was "golly gee I don't know if we should use Motion+ or not" so they must have some reason for being cautious about it.

Zelda will probalby include a new Zapper model that's designed for and comes with a free Motion Plus.

They already confirmed the Zelda will use M+. Their "wait and see" approach would have only been a concern if Wii Sports Resort bombed...but it didn't so...

We can only hope Motion Plus support is included in Monster Hunter: The Clone Wars and Pikmin 3: Modern Warfare.

Hey this could be pretty cool if it had an extremely powerful high-speed air-pump controlled by the wii!

It'll detect when someones playing a MATOOR game with lots of blood and gore and cracks a smile, that way their local authorities are dispatched to their home and sony will not be held responsible for the next big school shooting because they took steps to prevent it. Bravo i say.

Hilarious. I thought about making one where the microphone is hidden in Miyamoto's office and plugged into Sony hq.

Sounds like a new NWR summer contest

Can't wait to see videos of cute Asian women demonstrating the new peripheral on the Nintendo Channel.

As ridiculous as this sounds, and looks.... it does actually look like a functional way to play with only one hand.
Wiimote w/ M+ & Nunchuck controlled comfortably all in one hand? I wouldn't have even thought of it. I wonder what Nintendo has planned for it though

Quote from: Siliconera

Behind the scenes Nintendo is working on even more Wii accessories and their football controller has the potential to be a mass market hit.

A recently filed patent application by Howard Cheng, Vice President of Research and Development at Nintendo of America, reveals a plan for a soft football controller for use with the Wii and the remote.

So how does it work? Nintendo gives some examples.

Throwing – Players firmly strap their hands to the ball and make a throwing motion. The pitch angle and force of the throw determines the trajectory arc of the throw. Side to side motion determines the yaw angle. Pressing buttons on the Wii remote can adjust other options.

Running – The football controller sense body motion, shifting left and right to dodge tacklers and even jumping motions by raising the ball. Running speed is determined by players making a jogging motion.

Here’s a more detailed look at the system.

At the end of the document Nintendo presents solutions to enhance the football controller. Figure 4 shows the basic controller. Figure 8 adds the nunchuk, which can improve the controller’s sensitivity. Figure 9A includes Wii Motion Plus to detect orientation and improve ability to recognize actions.

Throw the football, break your flat screen TV.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #44 on:** August 25, 2009, 11:49:44 AM »

It's got a hand strap though. They are close to idiot proofing it.

This is a new generation of first-person sporting.

This just looks kinda dumb -- kinda really dumb.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #47 on:** August 25, 2009, 04:44:09 PM »

Realistically this could simulated by duct taping the Wii controller to a Nerf football.

I like how in the drawing the guy is doing a stiff arm when there would be absolutely no way for that the game to detect you doing that. But I guess the game is just so damn immersive that you'll do that instinctively until the game misinterprets your long bomb to the end zone as "spike the ball into the ground as hard as you can".

How the hell do you run with the ball unless you happen to have a 100 yard long living room? Well you move with the joystick, Ian! Oh so you're basically playing the same Madden you always have but you replace the throw button with waggle and add that extra risk of throwing your controller through your TV screen! YEAH!!!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #48 on:** August 25, 2009, 04:46:55 PM »

Yeah!
