TGS: Grand Slam Tennis Review

It will be interesting to see how WMP is used beyond sports titles.

Nintendo should have really launched Sports: Resort along side motion plus rather than letting the third parties try and sell it first.

[Controversy]

Great point. Nintendo would have been a great candidate to promote its own product, inherently better than any third party.

[raiden_93]

Well that's not to suggest the third parties can't make good titles, Grand Slam is a good title that uses Motion Plus, I'm just surprised Nintendo didn't step in to really back this important piece of tech from day 1.

[Elven6]

For a debut title it seems like a good way to start, I do wonder how it will be implemented in other games though.

It obviously improved the motion sensing capabilities, but maybe not as much as Nintendo has implied.

[gameplayingfool]

The Motion Plus improves the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii. It doesn't perfect them.

[Elven6]

Perhaps it's simply that it has some unlocked potential at the moment?

[gameplayingfool]

No.

[raiden_93]

I think Motion Plus will get better, games like Red Steel 2 will hopefully show us why we need to fork out extra money for this tech.

[Elven6]

Gameplayingfool: I wouldn't say that, think of it like a new console, you don't see the really good games that push the hardware until later into the console's lifespan.

Its still way better and more responsive than the other two, :P

[Elven6]

Well duh, the other two aren't even out yet! ;)

[Cernex]

Looks pretty interesting. Might give it a go one of this days.

What will really be interesting is how Mtion Plus, Natal, and Sony's motion controls all stack up in the end.

[Elven6]

No doubt WMP is probably going to sell the best out of all 3,
