Ever since the Wii was announced and the Wii-mote named a 'wand' by various articles it has never occured to me until now (and if someone else has mentioned this, which I assume they must have - you can shoot me down in flames!!) how good would a Potter game be on the console??

No longer stupid analogue stick wand control, REAL wand control!! (Okay, I'm 27 and probably wouldn't play a Potter game even though I love the books) but think what an edge it could give the Wii in that sector of the market. Now matter how tilty a Dual Shock (Wii) controller is it'll never feel like a wand!

Just an early Saturday morning thought!!

I like that idea, even though i wouldn't but the game due to the other poor outings.

IF the Wii had a speaker, you could of said the spells aloud as well as corresponding hand movements for each spell.

I've wondered about this. Since a speaker and a microphone are essentially the same thing (try plugging some headphones into the microphone socket in your computer if you don't believe me), the wii might be able to use microphone functions as it is. It might damage the speaker though, or be less functional...

The problem is it would be made by EA, and shunned by most.

A Potter game for the Wii. Thats a good idea. You can use a speaker as a mic.

Thats amazing, imagine Quiddich on it too.. I like the idea of having the Wii-mote shoved in between my legs and flying it around the room like a mad man

That's a pretty good idea, but again, it's EA....

I actually thought about how the Wii-mote could make a Harry Potter game that extra bit special. Couple that with the ideas of the Wii microphone that we have here, and it sounds fantastic.

I know you're probably talking about 'informed' gamers, but have you ever looked at the charts in the UK or the US - they are dominated by EA!!!???

Girls should get the extra option of turning vibration on for Quidittich matches.

Yes indeed, you just CANNOT be gender specific with games like this ;)

EA has made a new gameplay system for Madden NFL 2007 for the first time in 20 years so they're using the Wiimote in a new way already. I think EA will use the Wii innovatively, they don't have another choice really.

Agreed, and they have more than enough money to do that.

Exactly. Personally, i think a lot of people are just jumping on the "we hate EA" bandwagon.
