Back in the old days, back before the “Revmote,” rumors were flying as to what the big deal was and why Nintendo wouldn’t even show a picture of the Revolution controller. Motion control was pretty much agreed on by the fans, but they expected gyroscopes instead of accelerometers. It looks like Wii MotionPlus will finally be bringing what we’ve been waiting for all along. Satoru Iwata explains:
The idea is something we’ve been contemplating for quite a long time. My understanding about the timing, the reason we are announcing this kind of attachment right now, is because we have come to the stage where we can purchase a significant amount of the gyroscope technology at a reasonable price point, and the stability of this kind of technology itself has been confirmed, so that’s why we’re making this announcement today.
Awesome. Now let’s see that Zelda demo from Space World 2000 being controlled by Wii MotionPlus! Hey, I can dream, right?
