Wii MotionPlus Hands-On (Verdict: Melancholy Bliss)

The Nintendo Wii broke my heart. It wooed me with cute, clever marketing and the promise of unbelievable technology. But it was a scam, a hoax, a hoodwink. The Wii’s main revolutionary component, the Wiimote, did not work nearly as well as a many of us expected (like when swinging a golf club in WiiSports or a sword in Red Steel). And that was a real blow, because there was no one more excited about the system than me.

    Would like this with Boom Blox.

    Seriously though – this built-in to the wiimote and a (LiIon) wireless nunchuck should have been standard on the Wii when it first came out. I hope that will be the case for the Wii2 when it drops.

    Wii’s still the best console on the market for interactive gaming . Biggest advance in videogaming since Pong.
