Wii Fanboy E308 Poll: What games series needs Wii MotionPlus?

Filed under: Peripherals, Controller, Wii Fanboy poll



You've had several years to complain about the missed potential for immersive applications with a Wii Remote supporting true 1:1 response; now that Nintendo has announced the Wii MotionPlus accessory, enabling games to track your movements faster and more accurately, we want to know which game series you feel would benefit the most from the new technology

Are you hoping for the most obvious pick -- compelling lightsaber duels in a Star Wars game? Or are you looking for Wii Sports 2 with support for more subtle movements? If you don't see your preferred series in our list of poll choices, make sure to leave a comment and let us know what game you think needs Wii MotionPlus!

Wii Warm Up: DuYu NuYu?

Finally, Data Design Interactive has gotten the message, and added the single feature to their Wii offerings that audiences have been clamoring for since Ninjabread Man: knockoff Mii creation. And the NuYu system looks pretty okay! It's easily one of the better things this particular company has done.

Now that they've finally added support for user-created avatars, which we're certain was the only impediment to a larger audience, have you been convinced to try out Crazy Mini Golf or to keep a closer eye on other upcoming Popcorn Arcade series games?

UK public hungry for cookie games

We're taking this story with a grain of salt and a tall glass of milk. According to a press release from Data Design Interactive, two of their four budget Wii titles "already sold out within 3 days of release." Which two games sold out was not specified, but the four released were Ninjabread Man, Billy the Wizard, Anubis II, and Rock & Roll Adventure.

We're going to assume that Ninjabread Man was one of the sellouts, because we kind of want to buy it. The identity of the other one pretty much doesn't matter. But this development leads to two obvious questions:
  1. Why would people who know better (this stuff was already released on PS2) go in for the same kind of punishment again?
  2. How many copies of each game were in the shipment? Four? Five?
Nice to have evidence that third party games can sell on the Wii, we suppose.
