Wii MotionPlus Requires Recalibration

Wii MotionPlus transforms your crummy old Wii Remote into a 1:1 motion control beast, but it does get a little lost from time to time. To keep everything running smoothly some games will require you to constantly recalibrate the device.

We found this to be the case in EA's Grand Slam Tennis. The game asks you to place your Wii Remote, with Wii MotionPlus installed, on a flat surface for a few seconds if control becomes unstable during play, which it did occasionally.

Other games, such as Wii Sports Resort, will require recalibration more often. In this case the game will prompt you to press the + button whenever the controller needs to know where you are standing and the position of the Wii Remote. It doesn't seem like it will be too much of an annoyance. Surely it can't be any worse than those damn 'take a break' notices. To those we say GTFO I'm trying to get some serious gaming done here!

Exactly what I was thinking, so you have to put it down for a few seconds. Not that big of a deal. People are so impatient these days.

I don't think it would be during the middle of playing. I'd guess it would be before you play one of the sports.

1. Load up game.
2. Choose sport.
3. Recalibrate M+.
4. Play sport.

In Virtua Tennis 2009 you have to point the wiimote at your player before every point. Its a little annoying but you get used to it. To me its the same as having to press A before you bowl, as an example.

If they were hardcore gamers they probably would have bought another console or a PC unless they are disappointment junkies.

Hell, it shouldn't even be two seconds! Seriously, this is pretty stupid, couldn't they make it so it does this while it's loading or something and not during gameplay?

So you have to put it down for a few seconds. It isn't that bad really. It will give you a few seconds to have a rest..or shove food in your gob. Calm down people and enjoy the freakin' 1:1 motion damn it!
