11/15 - Show And Tell

Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

On December 8, the game Marvel Ultimate Alliance, will be released on the Nintendo Wii. Embracing the capabilities of the Wii's controller system, the game allows players to act out the actions of the characters to control them.

The game allows up to four players, and will feature many different heroes which each have their own powers, which specific gestures that will activate them.

I've heard that the Wii will also have standard controls, and I can't help but wonder if this type of game will play as smoothly on regular controls. Some people might not have the space or courage to go all out by performing the motions, but those people should still be able to play with all the same capabilities as those with the Wiimote.

I found the video footage of the game amusing.

Andy:

I think the controller will only allow you to trigger pre-scripted animations, so exactly how you move the controller might not be so important. It's hard to say without trying it.
