Some light-gun-style games aren compatible with certain television types. Will the same be true of the Wii-mote?
No. Unlike light gun technology, the Wii-mote never interacts directly with a television. Instead, its accelerometer-based motions are transferred directly to the Wii console and any movement that requires pixel perfect accuracy is handled by the sensor bar, which in turn transmits the data to the system. Although the on-screen action seems to indicate that players are, say, directly pointing the Wii-mote at their television, this is never actually true – it’s merely being simulated. As a result, any television type, including CRT, LCD, DLP, plasma, and even projectors, are fully compatible with the Wii remote. Nor does screen size matter. Gamers are free to use a 27″ CRT or a 110″ projector screen and it’ll make no difference.
