Hey I put some videos/screenshots up related to this event, but I'm not a writer.

Go to time stamp 2:29. It sounds like X-ird.

I'm having a blast playing this game. The off-TV mode is so convenient. I try to play it with my headphones on whenever I can. It's just so enthralling.

This EA person is (apparently) an EA Software Engineer. Now, there might not be much communication between the engineers in each gazzilion of labels that EA has, but I have to say this: Need for Speed Most Wanted U is an amazing arcade based racing game. It's under the label of EA Games, and last I knew they were using the PC assets for it. The High res ones. That the PS3 and 360 aren't.

I'm not saying the Wii U is as powerful as the PS4, or 720, but for a senior engineer to say that. Good golly.

It's not just Mario and Zelda games that make money for Nintendo. It's Pokemon games too. Their hardware makes money, even when they're 3rd in this supposed console "race".

Ea doesn't want to make games for the Wii U because of its low install base. Fine. Just come out and say it. No need for throwing poop bombs at your competiotn because you can't handle it.

Haha Unfortunately I have no choice. I work evening shifts, so when I get home I'm usually hungry.

*drools* Time to eat.

The flying? Wow, I never expected that. It has the most basic motion controls. WTF. Yeah they should have definitely given more control options.

Oh. That makes sense.

Dammit, I was a bit pompous on my reply. My apologies. What I should have said is: Oh, it's alright. You weren't the only one.

I don't know if it's a case of malfunctioning Motion + adaptors/Wii Remote Plus (one of my M+ adaptors broke down during my Skyward Sword playthrough), but all I can say is that considering the tech involved I'm not that surprised that there are people that just couldn't get it to work. There are a lot of factors that can affect the gyroscope in conjunction with the groups of code dedicated to make it all work as one. Yes it should be working at 100%, but for something as cheap as a consumer grade motion controlled device it is bound to have flops. It could even be from the way people swing, and yes the devs should have taken that into account, but take it from someone that practices fencing (Kendo) is that we all swing differently even though the basic movements are similar.

Heck I remember when I got SSX Blur and I just couldn't get my gestures for an Uber Trick to be recognized, so I stopped playing it. It was the only game in my entire Wii collection that I could never get the full motions to be recognized.

And I rambled...

Motion controls worked fine in Skyward Sword. Heck that's what made the boss battles so interesting.
