Why we need so much black? Firstly, if you get the remote or nunchuk dirty, they still look nice. Secondly, black can absorbs excess heat around you and lastly, these Wii black peripherals are greatly compatible with Darth Vader party costume.

Pre-order here.

Black Wii Accessories Ready For Pre-Order

The device, which connects directly onto the Wiimote is meant to enhance play control on compatible games (see list below).  The Wii MotionPlus contains additional sensors that make the Wii Remote respond to the slightest movement, motion, or twist of the wrist. 

I can think of a couple occasions where I wished the Wiimote had less “lag.”  For example, during the skeet shooting in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, I have often felt that I had moved more accurately than my results suggested.  Unfortunately, I don’t think this game is compatible with it.

Here’s a list of games that work with the Wii MotionPlus:

• Virtua Tennis 2009 – SEGA
• Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 – EA Sports
• Grand Slam Tennis – EA Sports
• Wii Sports Resort – Nintendo

Will you buy the MotionPlus?  I’d love to hear from you, especially if you’ve tried it!

Hungry? Try The Wii Remote Chocolate Bar

Apparently, the new addition is set top be unveiled at the upcoming E3 gaming convention this June and I’m pretty curious about it.  Of the three main consoles right now, PS3 appeals to me the least but it has to do with game selection just as much as anything else.  What’s next?  Sony will come out with a Mario-type character to go along with the new controller?

I can’t say that I blame them, though.  Times are tough and they’ve got to find a way to compete.  I know that the Sixaxis PS3 controller already is supposed to detect motion but it’s nowhere near as sensitive or flexible as the Wiimote.

So what’s a fledgling company like Sony supposed to do?  They are going to take the idea and one-up it.  How?  By fitting their new controller with tiny LED lights and a small webcam to track movement.

I don’t know how that’s going to work out but I’m not going to knock it until I see what it looks like and how it works.  I still doubt that I will put down my Wiimote and Xbox 360 for the PS3 but stranger things have happened.  Maybe Sony can come out with a product to put them back in the race again.  I’m sure they are counting on it…

PlayStation 3 Getting Copycat Wii Controller?

Two player functionality is included and there are AI bikes to make the races more challenging.

From the press release:

Players will be able to decide what motorcycle and racing style suits them best in Tutorial mode. Rather than taking players ‘out of the main game’, this mode will transport them immediately into an arcade race and offers tips right at the start.

In Career mode, players can develop their racing skills for up to 5 seasons with the aim of becoming the ultimate MotoGP champion. Choosing a team and bike class at the beginning of each season, riders can make customizations through a selection of bike helmet designs that unlock as players progress. As races are won, stronger teams will be looking to recruit for the following season, enabling players to race better performing bikes. Climbing the ranks will also allow access to certain bike upgrades which improve the rider’s performance across a range of parameters such as straight line speed, acceleration, braking and cornering.

Players can choose their favorite track and rider in Quick race mode or set the best time at each circuit, competing against themselves to shave vital seconds off their personal record in Time Attack mode. If that’s not enough then select any class, rider and team and re-create an entire season in Championship mode. The weather conditions, difficulty setting, number of laps and handling model can all be decided, allowing players to shape their own season.

And, of course I wasn’t going to leave you with a boring ole press release. You know I like pretty pictures, so here’s nine-just for you.

MotoGP Ships Today

Found this at Walgreens today and had to buy it; I wonder if it’s tax deductible?

Haven’t tried the candy yet but I hope that the candy doesn’t suck as much as Pez.
