Rez played with Wii-Mote

So someone configured their Wii-Mote to work on their PC, nothing new. They then mapped the buttons to a Dreamcast emulator, and booted up one of my all time favourite games, Rez.



Now the project author claims that he's mapped the motion of the target to both the nun-chuck analog stick, as well as the motion sensor in the Wii-mote. There's no way to prove that he was actually successful in getting the target to respond to the Wii-motes movements, but I'm sure it's not impossible

The project is cool, if only to show what can be done with the Wii-mote, and how it has got some people to re-examine some of the old games, and see them in a new light.

B3 - No More!

Well... it was pretty goddamned inevitable.

Hadn't published a non-gaming-related post on this blog in months, so I decided to do what was far too long in coming: change the name and format of the old "Bathroom Breeding Bolsheviks" blog... to what you've got before you now.

So welcome to the new-&-improved game-industry focussed, "Classic Controller!"

Hope you like the new renovations. It reflects far more accurately the content, however, all the old posts are still in the archive on the right sidebar.

Additionally... nothing has happened to the good ol' "Pacific Tribune" so if you're looking for more politically-related content, head on over there.

And as always, the "East-Van Cinephiles" is still operational for all your movie reviewing needs, although admittedly, it's not well maintained.

And if you're reading this as a feed through my FaceBook profile... just click on the "original post" link at the top to see the new layout I'm talking about.

beers!
