Way, Way Off Topic!!! Is 480P on Wii 60fps?

[walter biscardi] “I used to be addicted to that game on the XBox 360 but now it gathers dust. I have to tilt the Wiimote a bit away from the screen when I swing to avoid a hook. You’ll have to practice a bit to figure out what’s the best hand position to get a straight swing every time.”

Have you noticed any side effects on your real golf game? In other words does swinging a controller at nothing mess things up when you try to swing a club at something?

With the Wii sports golf, instead of looking down at the imaginary ball on the floor, I found myself focused on the power meter on the TV!!! I could just see me looking at the pin instead of the ball when getting ready to tee off from a par 5 in real life. Oh the dilemma that I face now that I have a Wii!!!!

Maybe we should get a Wii set up at the Cow booth next year for NAB. Just as long as people don’t walk off with the controllers.

Nope, completely different feel and grip, though I do use my actual golf stance. There’s no resistance to the Wiimote so can’t really use your normal swing. You adapt a new swing for the game.

Sometimes we put an actual golf ball on the ground to give us something to focus on. I can’t look at the screen when I’m swinging because it messes me up. I have to swing as if I’m actually hitting a ball by looking down.

So does this mean we are all going to end up with Wii wrists?
