Title: Do you keep the pointer on-screen when playing any Wii game?
Post by: bluaki on November 08, 2007, 03:33:10 PM
I was just watching videos of Super Mario Galaxy from IGN, and noticed how annoying it is that their people ALWAYS have the cursor on-screen and having it move around a ton.

When playing a Wii game where you hold the Wiimote normally, that has a cursor appear when pointing at the screen, and doesn't require the pointer very often, do you or do you not point at the screen when you don't need to?
Rephrasing the question: In the Wii Twilight Princess, how often did you see Navi on the screen?

Yes, I do, always. Ano... I know it's a little strange, and sometimes gets in the way... and there isn't much need for it, since I have really good hand-eye cordination, but... I dunno. I kind of like the cusor, and it's pretty spiffy that it isn't like, a generic cursor, it's usually game-specific.

It depends of the game actually. If it is a game where I do not need to then I don't but if it is one that I need to then I do keep it on the screen.

Why would it be stupid?
Some people seem to always keep the pointer unnecessarily on-screen while others keep the pointer out of the detected range.

I tend to usually keep my cursor on-screen but not all the time.

When I first started to play Twilight Princess, I thought Navi was supposed to do something.  :D

Why do you always have to say some negative, stupid comment about every topic you read?

I don't know how it's going to be with Galaxy when I get it, but on most of my Wii games that would somewhat require the pointing of a WiiMote, such as Twilight Princess, the fairy usually resides on a side of the screen, without me pointing it at the screen.

Although I beleive why you always see the cursor on screen in Galaxy is because of the frequent use you have to have of it.  There's always going to be those star shards around, and not to mention shaking the Wii is an attack in itself....
