In a way, it could very well inherit the fractured userbase that was one of the reasons it couldn't gain ground in the the first place. They've announced support for Wii remotes and surely quite a few consumers will be upset to find that their Wii remotes don't work with their new Wii U games without having to buy a new peripheral, or buy a very similar-looking Wii Remote Plus. Unfortunately, there is some problem with that. With the Wii U, Nintendo has an opportunity to start anew and require support from the start. Reasons include Nintendo not including it with the Wii console itself for quite some time after launch, a severe lack of games that support it, developers not wanting to go through the extra expense of developing for a small fraction of their audience. Few Nintendo games support it, fewer require it, to speak nothing of third party games. However, Motion Plus never really saw the support necessary to really change the Wii's software landscape. The accuracy afforded by Motion Plus is a great improvement over the original allowing the Wii to remain competitive against the similar but more advanced Playstation Move. The Wii Motion Plus was supposed to fix those issues and it was impressive in games that used it extensively, such as Red Steel 2 and looks to add a great deal to Skyward Sword. Personally, I'm hoping that any Wii U-specific games that use the Wii Remote be required to use Motion Plus or the Wii Remote Plus.Ī great majority of the complains concerning the original Wii can be attributed to the original Wii Remote not being technologically sophisticated enough to really be attractive to developers. ![]() I still like the pointer and gesture functionality the Wii Remote introduced to console gaming and think there is still room for it to enchance or improve games in the future. ![]() We all know the Wii U will support Wii Remotes. ![]() I haven't seen anything about this yet but I was wondering a little something about the Wii U.
