Nintendo News | Wii-mote Learns to Move [news]

Fantastic idea, really does seem quick and easy to get some moves in. Looks very accurate too!

i like that video!! very cool

That guys awesome!

"ok...I think that's enough chicken."

I can only assume he's a monster in the sac!

On a completely irrelavent note. That program is probably pretty useful for developers.

Now developers can make crap gesture based games in minutes!

The guy'll probably become one of the video game video legends. I honestly don't know how he keeps serious during the "pounding" bit of the cooking movement

just watched the video. It seems like he's most sincere when he's imitating some kind of bird.

I think you're being harsh here.. This should be EXTREMELY useful for dvelopers. The tennis thing particularly caught me. The whole idea of having more difficult shots to perform seemed really clever.

This will help with development, but it wont fit all things.

Some games should have realtime 1:1 corispondance, rather then gesture based.
(Tennis, Baseball, and, in the lond run, Swordfighting falling into those catagorys).

Most games work fine with gestures though....and this will be a great help to them.

But wouldn't a tennis game be a bit shit if it had to recognise your move BEFORE it runs the animation etc. It should be in real time and just move your racket roughly mirrored to he Wii remote.

They only demod it for serves, I dont think they expect developers to use this 100%.

That is actually really cool! Good on those guys to make developing even easier so developers don't waste time on trying to create programs but focus on the creative side!

I think this is awesome. Whatever helps developers is good for us. It's so easy to create a movement that could be used for a game. Very nice.

That's awesome. I especially like the proserve thing. That Balloon Pop game looked so simple but addictive, looked pretty accurate too.

can you imagine how many small games developers will use this so they can get into making games! looks like something anyone can use privided they have the wiimote should be intersting to see what develpers use this and what they make from it

Brilliant. I was more than impressed with the liveMove demo. I just hope that major devlopers and publishers pick this up as it seems to be the UNREAL ENIGINE of Wii control and has the potential to greatly improve wiimote movement and accuracy without the hinderance of additional time constraints.

Eat your heart out XBL vision!

I hope Nintendo gets into the swing of getting patented tech from outside its own four walls to really enhance the things possible with Wii/DS and future generations of the two.

My GOD I hope we get a download of that Balloon Pop game on the VC O.O

That ballon pop game look amazing! I know it was basic but it would be really addictive. I hope there will be little games like this on the Virtual Console.
