14 DAY TRIAL // The Nintendo Wii has completely blown away its competition with the sheer amount of innovation instead of high-end technology that the Japanese engineers placed in the small white console. The main feature that attracted a lot of people was the motion sensitive controls, which meant that people could just move the controller, the Wii Remote, and their actions would be represented in the game.
The fun factor that such controls brought made a lot of people very happy, but every few times, things didn't go so well, and people complained that their moves weren't recorded by the console or that they didn't reflect their actual movements. This is why the Wii MotionPlus feature will soon be implemented for the console, in order to reflect players’ moves on a 1:1 scale.
As only a few titles have been made with this new feature in mind, Electronic Arts has now decided to bring people's attention to it, and has just announced that two future games, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis, will support the upcoming technology, in order to reflect the most authentic movements in the game.
“On the Wii, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis bring the authentic motion and excitement of championship golf and tennis to life for fans of all ages and skill levels,” said Peter Moore, president, EA Sports. “With the new Wii MotionPlus, slicing a winner on Centre Court at Wimbledon or dropping an 8 iron pin high on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass have never felt better. We couldn't be more excited about the dynamic new EA SPORTS experiences coming this year to the Wii.”
A “near-perfect 1:1 swing” will be featured in the Tiger Woods game, while EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will let players deliver the most realistic serves during the most challenging and popular tournaments across the world.
Look forward to the games in summer or early autumn, as the company declined to deliver concrete release dates for them.
