Nintendo Wii Remote Plus - White

Product Information

Wii Remote Plus competed with Microsoft Corporation's Kinect and Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation Move with PlayStation Eye motion controllers, respectively.

The second distance "m" between the two clusters of light emitters in the Sensor Bar is a fixed distance. From June to August 2009, Club Nintendo in Japan held a contest wherein members who purchased and registered a copy of Wii Sports Resort would be entered into a draw to win a sky blue Wii MotionPlus in one of 5,000 blue controller sets. Fobis Technologies claims this to be trademark infringement, however Nintendo does not actually use the term "Wiimote" in official promotional materials; but many retailers that sell the Wii Remote do use the term. To be honest, we'd rather have other features instead--we'd trade the GameCube jacks for an HDMI-out port without blinking.Since the release of the Wii console, many aesthetic, ergonomic, and functional accessories have been developed for the Wii Remote by third parties. WarioWare: Smooth Moves also sometimes requires the Wii Remote to be dropped, which would cause problems in the event of a strap failure. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future. The position and motion tracking of the Wii Remote allows the player to mimic actual game actions, such as swinging a sword or aiming a gun, instead of simply pressing buttons.

From these two distances m and mi, the Wii CPU calculates the distance between the Wii Remote and the Sensor Bar using triangulation. Since the release of the Wii console, people have been exploring different new ways in which to use the Wii Remote. Unlike most accessories, the Classic Controller largely usurps the Remote's functionality, with the Remote's buttons duplicated on the Controller. Development of a motion-enabled controller began when development of the Wii console started in 2001.Nintendo had also decided upon using a motion sensor, infrared pointer, and the layout of the buttons, [8] and by the end of 2005 the controller was ready for mass production.
