When Nintendo announced the support of the Wii-Motes on the Wii U I was pretty excited. You see I bought my Wife the Wii with 4x Wii-Motes and the whole Guitar Hero package (Drum, 2x guitars, mic etc) and I rocked out with my Coc.....*ahem*. In fact, that's all it was pretty much used for with the random Wii Fit usage by my Wife.
Come the Wii U... I jump on the early band wagon and pre-order the full lock stock the freaking lot package. I've always been a Nintendo supporter, I just love it how they try something new or different and have big enough balls to mix it up a bit rather than just chucking out a regular HD, shader’s by the sq root of 1040343.1821 pixels, high glory graphics machine with the same old re-hash games (and bless people still moan at Nintendo for attempting stuff other companies won’t).
So with Wii U in hand, booting up Nintendo Land with my friends to find a few games require 4x nun-chucks (that’s fine.. most European house holds might have a few or friends to borrow) and 4x Wii-MotionPlus motes! Look at the statistics and you will see not many people actually own Wii-MotionPlus motes, let alone 4 and after searching it’s pretty hard to find legit adaptors for our current Wii-motes.
Then the much anticipated system seller ‘Pikmin 3’ was shown. It was mentioned for the extremely exciting multiplayer mode, again you need a Wii-Motion Plus controller!!!!
Luckily 5 minutes before I started writing the originally planned article
with hatred I. I read this -
As much as I love Nintendo doing something different, can we take a bit of a break from having so many controllers…the expenditure is getting borderline. My next question is “Do I now need to hunt down and save up for 4x Motion Plus adaptors or get a mortgage to buy another 4x Motion Plus controllers for future compatibility?”
Your Comments below please!
I don't have a WiiU but I do have 2 of the old wiimotes with the Motion Plus Add ons.
ReplyDeleteNot bad. Tried Pikmin 3 last night for about 30 minutes, was hoping for the same kind of control scheme as the Pikmin xperince in Nintendo Land but they use touch screen just for a map more or less, still it's a promising game! Can not wait to get back on it tonight!
