Wii Motion Plus – Nintendo’s New Game Controller

The Wii Motion Plus was released in June 2009 after much fanfare at the previous year’s E3. The new controller addon is basically a plastic piece and a rubber sleeve to cover the additional length to the remote. It easily hooks on to the remote using two small prongs. Of course there is still the plastic cover up at the base of the device so You Can still hook in the nunchuk controller.

One of the biggest things you will notice right off is that the controller feels a bit clunky with the Motion Plus attachment. Playing a game horizontally will be a big problem. So here is hoping that there are no games released that make that a requirement. A negative to the controller is that it will no longer fit into the original rechargeable docking station. So you may have to upgrade in the future.

With that said many reviewers have remarked that the Motion Plus has greatly increased the on screen movements to the player’s actual movements. Games like Tiger Woods Pga Tour 10, Grand Slam Tennis, Wii Sports Resorts, and a few other titles are the only games that currently are able to use the new controller. But at a price of around $20.00 there really is no reason not to purchase the attachment. Especially considering that newer game releases will be using it.

In conclusion, the Motion Plus will rely on game developers to put it to use in the games. Hopefully future releases will include this new improved controller but at the same time not make it a necessity to playing games.

How can you tell if a PC game is compatible with a game controller before you buy it?

I have a controller that is similar to the PS2 controller, but how can I be sure that any PC game I buy is compatible to it and thus programmable before I buy it?

You really can’t. But, most games are very configurable, or you can configure your controller software to behave differently in Different Games. Some game controllers even have game profiles already available.
