re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

quote Steel Magnolia
Hey guys I am considering getting a Wii either today or soon, but I have a question. My TV is at the end of my bed and I don't have any room to stand in front of it. So I wondered how does the remote and the other controller actually work? Is it like a light-gun where it hits the TV or does it send a signal to the Wii to tell itself where it is or does it just work on an internal motion sensor?

Basically I need to know because if I have to be stood directly in front of the TV at a certain distance at all times for it to work, then it might not be feasible for me to get one.

Thanks for any help, Steel
It actually works very differently. The pointer may seem a lot like the light gun, but it actually isn't at all. See the sensor bar? It's just there as an IR field, it is only connected to the Wii for power and nothing else. If you connect it to another power source, the Wiimote will work fine. The Wiimote sends out rays that bounce off the IR field and go back(think of echolocation and bats). The Wiimote has a small little camera of sorts that catches it and then maps the location accordingly. You could, if you want, place the sensor bar on the end of your bed and lie down, and it will still work. The benefit of this system is, (again) like echolocation, it senses your exact position, including distance and angle, in relation to the sensor bar.

The accelerometer, on the other hand, just needs movement. Games such as Wii Sports may require standing to play properly, but you can sort of trick it with a bit of practice. Games like Zelda just need a clear path to the sensor bar and nothing else(for shooting arrows and such, not all the time). I never play Zelda standing and I don't need to. The Wiimote works on both a pointer and an internal acccelerometer. Games have the option of using either, or both.

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

Ah I see. Thanks for the info. I will have a think about it for sure. I have time now since every shop I looked at had sold out of the console. I thought that everywhere would have them by now but I guess a lot of people must have gone for the PSWii combo and bought them out.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

Yay, you're getting a Nintendo Wii.

Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. =P

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

Well I am considering it. I haven't decided yet. The position of my TV still might be a problem for some games and unfortunately due to the shape of my room, I can't have the TV anywhere else.

I recently purchased a DS Lite, is there any connectivity between a DS and Wii, like there is with the PS3 and PSP?

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

Yes, they can wirelessly connect just like the GBA and GC(without the wire) or the PS3 and PSP. So far, only Pokemon Battle Revolution uses it to control the game with a touch screen(to keep your moves private) and to play online(although that requires Wi-Fi and Pokemon Diamond or Pearl). Some new games might utilize it, as well, but what I'm looking forward to is downloading DS demos from the Wii to the DS. Nintendo said that it was an idea they were considering, so hopefully we'll get it soon.

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

I also may be considering to get a handheld console - probably the DS Lite since I have a Wii and the two of them go pretty cool together. I don't know if I should though, although I am considering it.

Yes, get a DS Lite. There's so many great games out for it right now.

You won't be dissapointed.

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

I love my DS Lite. If someone didn't steal my first DS, I would never have gotten a Lite. Games that sound so stupid, like lawyer games or secret agent cheerleader games, work so well only on the DS.

Man, today kicks ass. First day of spring break, the new Linkin Park single came out, and StarFox 64 on the Virtual Console. This calls for alcohol. Later. Remember kids, do whatever the cool kids do and you'll have lots of friends! You want friends, don't you, nerd?

Don't forget, it's Opening Day for baseball.

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

Baseball isn't a sport. It's just an imaginary thing that parents use to scare their kids like the Boogeyman or Tom Cruise.

I never really got into baseball. It just moves very slowly for me. Maybe it's because Colorado has a suck team or I just enjoy the fast-paced and violent nature of hockey better. I do like the food, though. Nothing is as good as $73 nachos.

re: {GD} Nunchuck All Over Again!

The problem with baseball is that there are so many other, better sports to watch. Basketball, Football, Hockey, all are so much more enjoyable and entertaining, mainly because they involve more than a few guys standing around a couple of hours, maybe catching one or two balls.

Try living in New York city. It's impossible not to like baseball.
