Fulfills the promise of the original remote?

The title comes from RamSteelWood's thread about motion+. This is something I have been wondering for a while and now presumably people are in a position to answer.

Is motion plus all that or is it just a less imprecise version of an imprecise control method?

I have played lots of Wii sports, but don't own a Wii (the two are connected). Whenener I play, I understand how people love the sense of controlling the Mii through their movement, but I always feel disconnected from what is happening on screen. With Tennis, I am never sure why the ball goes in one direction or the other. Bowling, less so, but there is still that sense of not knowing why one is a strike and one tails off and misses the centre pin. Golf feels like I am fighting the control method more than anything and obviously boxing feels like a random flaining of arms.

Obviously people are excited about Motion+, but having followed some of the big thread, it seemed like people were still questioning the precision.

What do you think?

I'm concerned how often it needs resetting, if that happened on a normal pad everyone would be screaming it was faulty.

Woo Hoo! Fame at last!

In that thread I do say that i think it has fulfilled it's original promise. To be fair, i thought the original remote was amazing at release, and it's only over time that i started to see through the 'smoke and mirrors' and see the failings of the original. But using motion plus in Wii Sports Resort, events such as swordplay, frisbee and table tennis really show the accuracy with which your movements can be translated.

So i think the remote itself does what i thought the original would do. it's now down to whether people can make the games that we imagined would be possible with it.

and it is a shame about recalibrating so often....it's not a problem in wii sports resort cos the events are all short, but in a 'long play' game it would be a nightmare if you had to pause it every 30 seconds to centre it.
