  1. Hi guys.

    Thanks a lot for your work with this episode!
    It’s always fun listening to you guys talking about the different games and all the stuff around it 🙂

    I did not play that much pc or video games lately, because I was a lot in the road for concerts. I played a lot of Pokémon Go because I am waking around a lot (about 15 kilometers a day), just to be not in my apartment and to set my mind free (I hope that’s the correct translation).
    I want to play BG3 as well but first I want to finish some other games (God of war (not the last one … the one before that!!!)and True Colors)… I hope time will come when I sit down and relax … maybe if I move to a new apartment.
    This week there will be games con here in cologne. Does anyone of you plan to visit? Or did visit, depending when you read this 🙂 ).

    Greetings from Germany,
    Ralf!

Wii Motion Plus: Hardware Fix?Wii Motion Plus: Hardware Fix?

Nintendo has already announced the Wii Motion Plus at E3. This device is supposed to fine tune the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii controller and make it a bit more refined for gaming. Sounds, to me, like a hardware patch, no?

1up is reporting:

“The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion,” says Nintendo. “Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone.”

This is a great move, technologically, for Nintendo but what gamers really are looking for along with this advancement is… games.
