Evolution of the Pointer

The first thing that everyone who owned a Wii did that was unique to the system wasn't swinging a racquet in Wii Sports and it wasn't swinging a sword in Twilight Princess. It was the simple, and then revolutionary, process of selecting a menu item by pointing at the screen. It is something we take for granted now, but over the past 5 years it has transformed games into what they are today, and with MotionPlus now hitting its stride, we're seeing a further evolution of the pointer.
