THQ Talks Wii Controls
Whenever a new game is announced for the Wii, one of the most frequently asked questions that is inevitably heard all around the gaming community is, “How will it utilize the Wii controller?” Well, THQ is just about to answer that very question – for some of their Wii titles, at least.
What follows is a rundown of how controls will be handled in THQ’s upcoming Wii games Spongebob Squarepants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, Avatar: The Last Airbender, DisneyÂ’s Pixar Cars, and Barnyard. Read on, guys.
SpongeBob Squarepants
• SpongeBob fans will get to fly using the Wii controller as it becomes an aircraft’s control stick in unique, fast-paced flying sections.
• Players will experience racing as they grip the Wii controller like a steering wheel for a whole new and intuitive virtual driving experience.
• Rampage through Bikini Bottom as a 50 foot Plankton using the Wii’s unique accelerometers by sweeping, swiping and shaking the controller to punch, stomp and roar through a path of destruction.
Avatar
• Melee attacks using the Wii’s controller in sweeping gestures allow players to create combo-moves.
• Players perform Bending moves by moving the Wii controller left, right, up or down.
• Focus Moves allow players to draw symbols, using the Wii controller, from the “Avatar world” in a time based series in order to generate special moves.
• Players can use the Wii Nunchuk to control the game camera with tilting action.
Cars
• Players will race rotating the Wii controller like a steering wheel.
• Control jumps with the Wii controller.
• Enhanced mini games will use the unique control features including tilt mechanics in Tractor Tipping and motion mechanics for the Pit Stop.
Barnyard
• Swing the Wii remote like a club to tee off for a game of golf.
• Simulate a pool stick with the Wii remote in a game of Barnyard Billiards.
• Swing and strike with the controller to whack weasels in the Whack-a-Rac game.
• Utilize the Wii controller like a steering wheel to take the farmer’s truck on a joy ride.
OK, maybe not all of our readers here will be playing the above titles since they’re geared more towards little kids, but we think it’s an interesting insight into how game developers are using the new control options provided by the Wii controller.
