Ugh, it looks terrible and unresponsive. Just watch the Lego Star Wars video.

Nfags don't seem to care.

Boy, that's some high aspirations you've got there. 

I have nothing against the wii aside from the fact that there is nothing compelling me to want one.

Outside of this article, has it even ben confirmed?

To my knowledge, this company was just working on a waggle wand, but its not what MS was working on.

Looks to be 3rd party, but would it really surprise anyone if MS or Sony blatantly ripped off one of the major selling points of the Wii? Anyways, this looks like shit

UPDATE: TechRadar just spoke with Motus' CEO who confirmed for us that this is NOT an official, first-party Microsoft device.

good god this device has been in the works for what seems like an eternity and it still keeps getting posted as being the xmote.

Oh gracious, I would be frustrated beyond belief trying to play Lego Star Wars with that delay. That's horribly broken.

See, the real genius of the Wii is how it's two separate devices. Just break the S into two pieces, add a third trigger/button to the shoulders, keep two of the face buttons, and you'd have the best controller of the forever.

You think Microsoft's own waggleturd is going to be any better?  :lol

Its can't be as bad as Sony's take on the trend.

The sixaxis licks shit, but then that was just a patch to cover for the lack of rumble. Sony would be the company to actually improve on this, if waggle is in the cards for the company. Microsoft  :lol

works great where it's used well.  and it's usually optional when it isn't used as well.  just another case of you being a stupid troll.

Nintendo already made it as good as it could possibly get.

nooo way. 1:1 would be sweet...I think maybe MS could do something less cheap and "omg we need to save money" like nintendo. maybe more sensors and...dare I say it....triangulation!

Yeah, I think motion controls can be improved to the point where it isn't so much a gimmick of replacing a button press with a waggle wave, but something that actually added layers of immersion into games.  I think the PS3 does have the best chance of doing this if they pair it with the PS Eye.  Sony even had that concept of a controller that fit the palm of your hand.  Expand on that somehow and it would be awesome.

This thing:


I mean, the only person who would really hate motion controls at all are just really lazy (Gerstmann).  I hate most Wii motion control because I can do that stuff easier, better, and quicker with a button or analog stick.  If it ever gets to the point where it is accurate enough to allow you to interact properly with the game, like being able to reach out and grab something but not a stupid gimmick like opening doors was in Metroid Prime 3, that would be awesome.

On the flipside, one of the best things about the Wiimote is that you can game with one hand depending on the game.  So it's awesome for the really lazy like me.
