| | |  More Harry Potter Wii information
IGN have a new feature on the Wii edition of the Order of the Phoenix video game. Quote:
The Wii-specific controls for the game seem remarkably well put together. Once Harry's wand is drawn, the Wiimote can be used to directly control the spells you cast. Everything is handled through accelerometers; there is no pointing in the game whatsoever. Any of the game's spells can be cast quickly and easily, merely by a flick of the wrist. Thrust the Wiimote forward, and Harry will propel an object away from himself. Motion upward with both the Wiimote and nunchuk, and Harry will cause an object to levitate in the air.
Once you have an object floating, you can move the Wiimote around in 3D space to reposition it. This actually worked better than we had assumed it would, although it is not yet perfect. There are puzzles that require placing objects in specific places, which is somewhat irritating because of the inaccuracies involved in the motion controls. Despite this, it was a lot of fun to wave the Wiimote in the air and see Harry react in turn. Hopefully the spell system sees some refinement before the game's release because they were already enjoyable, even at this early state.
The game will be available in June, prior to the release of the film.

Oh my, i didn't think i'd ever find another person that joined back in '02. I feel old...tho i'm only 17.
As long as the people correctly adjust their wiimote wrist strap and actually hold on to it, there's really nothing to worry about (altough i did get thwacked in the arm when i was playing wii tennis against my bro...so just make sure you're not in whacking distance to anyone)
Anyway, can i just say that the Wii is awesome & the HP game looks fab!

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

A friend of mine has a Wii and I once threw it at the fireplace. Once the strap is on, it's fine though!
I friend is a HP fan so she will hopefully get it so I can play!
