Purveyors of fine gaming peripherals In2Games have let slip the first image of their planned Wii nunchuk-like controller that will allow for motion control on the PS3 and Xbox 360. They appear to be claiming control via “proprietary and cutting-edge patent-pending ultrasonic technology”–no mention of accelerometers or gyroscopes–and for the moment, the only game supported is something In2games themselves have cooked up called Squeeballs. No word yet on price and availability. [Tech Radar]
We first saw the In2Games Fusion last year before the Wii launch, but they’re back again for the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany. This time, besides demoing the “Freedom” line (name changed from Fusion), In2Games is announcing that these are going to be available for the PS2 and the PC.
The peripherals work with games like Realplay Golf, Realplay Tennis, Realplay Racing, Realplay Pool, Realplay Bowling and Realplay Puzzlesphere, and require the wireless motion device called the GameTrak Version 2 for $40. The games? $60. So that’s $100 plus tax that you could put into the cost of buying a Wii. [Neoseeker] More »
