The Way Games Work - Wii Remote & MotionPlus

[@ExploringEsperanto]

Fascinating! My neighbor used a candle on his Wii because his sensor bar had stopped working.

[@mohdizzuddin2034]

Same here hahahahaha use candle but on pc lel

[@jjdrawz555]

wont the wii burn?

[@sovietguy17]

This video must have taken a shit load of research. It's unfortunate how videos that amazingly well made get such a relatively small amount of views. These are amazing.

[@108CAM]

Why is this video age restricted?

[@TheLingo56]

If I'm going to take a wild guess, that part where the guy had a virtual bikini might've tripped KZbin's censorship algorithms.

[@buckiethecat]

He's stripping a wiimote

[@johnkramer7666]

You have a great knack for explaining technology to a broad audience. Nice work.

[@ajanta7]

the way he presents this somehow reminds me of "good eats" on the food channel

[@user-ig3op4eg9c]

this was honestly such a fun and informative video, im going to use this as a source for my physics assignment

[@ClanOfTheGrayWolf]

@supersmashman90 evilmonkeyman289's right. The nunchuck is basically an analog stick with buttons and a 3-axis accelerometer. I could have mentioned it, but the tech it uses is the same as the Wii remote. Same deal with the Wii Remote Plus - it just integrates the Wii MotionPlus into the Wii Remote. The underlying ideas are the same.

[@tasoganedude]

I love seeing how gaming consoles work. You are awesome!

[@coleleo1220]

Dude i am so appreciative of your end-of-video songs....

[@Jayrod64]

The Wii Remote Plus comes with the Wii Motion Plus(basically a MEMS Gyro Sensor) built in.The Wii Remote Plus also now works on the Wii U,within supported software.I plan on getting two Wii Remote Plus controllers, mainly to use with Wii Sports Club on the Wii U.

[@Jayrod64]

Mine FXaR Yes I'm aware of that,but Wii Sports Club on the Wii U requires the Wii MotionPlus or Wii Remote to work.Thankfully though,my friend had two Wii Remote Plus controllers,so I burrowed one of them.

[@Jayrod64]

The candle trick at times works better than using a sensor bar.The range using the candle trick is somewhat limited,and it is more prone to interference(as stated in the video),but it works well enough.I have tried the candle trick and found that the cursor is much more steady when using it.

[@youkingrock1337]

i wonder how responsive the wii remote would be in space

[@zygardegaming7710]

This was in my recommended and it was better than I expected

[@samuelbrasington2958]

3:10 references on point

[@SCAREDBANANA]

I´m glad I came a cross with this channel.

[@Mikehero69_]

Roo is the best teacher I've ever had.

[@bigzuben]

Liked your OVERSIMPLIFIED SCIENCE DEMO, made things much clearer. I wish I could say I understood everything you said through your "The Way Games Work" series, but unfortunately I would be lying lol

[@twilightturtle]

I wonder how many laughed/understood the joke made during time 3:10-3:12. I did. My hat's off to you sir for such a joke. "Run for it Marty!"

[@abergaz]

@Aliibox I am glad that there is no reset button, because that will be problem during intense gameplay.

[@alwaysasn]

OMG I totally LOLLED at your Back to the Future reference! @3:10

[@solarmistpros]

Oh my god. I just randomly stumble across this video, and look who it is. You were on Vsauce! You were great!

[@my.username]

Like mentioned earlier in the comment section....why the heck was this video age restricted?

[@grinrause]

awesome video!!! did the controllers work after you reassembled them?

[@jpcotes]

I loved the back to the future quote !

[@TheNerdKnownAsDavid]

Definitely trying the candle thing.

[@MajoraZero]

Thanks you the technical description! I always knew what the wiimote used to work it's magic, but I always wondered how the accelerometer itself worked :)

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

god, awesome music choice for all of these

[@jdaster64piano]

I love how you can see the cat walk by in the TV screen's reflection around 8:00...

[@floralpoboop]

I use my wii mote to play games on my pc too. Games like counter strike though the sensitivity is not anywhere near high enough for me, so usually I have to change some of the profilers settings and some of the games settings.

[@__oK__]

Because candles emit infrared light and with that wiimote finds your tv. Also you can do that with flashlights.

[@Azuchie]

Man do I love this series. Keep up the great work! :)

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

How did i get here 7 years later?

[@RocketLawnchair]

The Back to the Future reference automatically makes this the greatest Wiimote video created. Kudos sir.

[@AVGNROCKS1996]

@ClanOfTheGrayWolf Dude i love this series as much as the next guy but... 16-bit gems ep 21, is about time.

[@supersmashman90]

hey i wonder if the wii nunchuck works the same way as the wii remote or it different.

[@ClanOfTheGrayWolf]

@shinjanaytor I got it way back in the early 90's from the Nintendo Super Power Club. I have no clue how I still have it.

[@WasabiCannon]

Can I please ask that you take a look into the Razer Hydra?

[@WeyounVI]

Greatest back to the future reference ever

[@SheepHairOG]

That candle thing is genius!

[@mihalios90]

Great video. Very explanatory. I'll use it as webography for a university paper !

[@Drenizer]

Could you check out the sixense device?

[@yellkaos]

Back to the Future reference noted... Awesome Vid, Roo!

[@UChS4Dq15wHu8vkvWsaLzvPg]

He never mentioned the velocimeter in the Wii MotionPlus.

[@LemonadAllOverThePlace]

do you have one for the gamecube bongo drum clan of the great wolf?

[@Haiyami]

Do you know how the wii remote's power button works? I heard it uses a specific frequency that is only usable for the Wii to turn it on. This is why we can't use bluetooth remotes or IR remotes to power on the Wii. So how would one go about hacking the Wii to be able to use any remote to turn on the Wii? (I'm not sure if the Wii or Wii U run using Radio Frequency or Bluetooth)

[@bssmain]

nice yoshi tshirt whered u get that

[@Sebby_Nineteen]

I already knew they exist, I have the gold zelda one. I just want to see how the innards differ between it and the regular wiimotes

[@ysharb]

Great video to help understand accelerometers!

[@4lifeNerdfighter]

So, what if you were to play mariokart on the ISS? What would the console make of it?

[@Kaelowen]

Yes! I love this series!

[@benjaminnguyen933]

does your wii stuff ever get broken?

[@amgamer2644]

What is light filter made out of?

[@iplikator]

The candles would be great idea to use for the dolphin emulator!

[@Nickelodeon90sStick]

i was totaly thinking about the 3d wii hack thing as i was watching this then you actually mention it

[@wolffster25]

What about the recently released Wii-Mote plus what is the difference between this and the Wii ,mote plus.

[@giovannisoto8825]

Can you tell me why my Wii U sensor only works if my Wii remote is like in the middle of my living room?

[@ClanOfTheGrayWolf]

@grinrause Sure did. Just used them yesterday,

[@Sebby_Nineteen]

It would have been interesting to see how Wii Remotes with Motion+ built in would like like, since that is how they are all made these days for the Wii U.

[@k.silverpoint]

I have no idea if it's just me but apparently this video is age restricted? I really just want to find out how the motion plus works, but now I have to verify my age with my actual ID or a credit card.

[@mrmegaeman1]

how can you use candles to do it

[@snikerszx]

Thank You for the great insight. Hope you can do a video on one of my favorites, deoxys and hinting towards It's origin

[@brolawful1]

Question: Could you actually do a Hadoken with practice?

[@VelouriaRavensworn]

whats playing in background

[@hebbazz]

Awesome video!

[@WLBFTWproductions]

Incredible videos!! Keep up the excellent work!!

[@phunkeee]

Nice model Doc Brown

[@b21492010]

That's a touching story.

[@Atamoss]

VERY interesting, you know a lot of thing !

[@L1ghtninChris]

what did i just listen to?? i didnt learn much but very awesome 0.o

[@terrykrabs8574]

Nice Back to the Future reference

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

What back to the future reference?

[@TheComicbookguy78]

when he say he didn't have time to build the model to scale Doc B says that to Marty in 1955 in his garage when he built a model of the town

[@TheCobru]

'yaw' is the best word ever.

[@dj3ss3nc3]

awesome and detailed review thanks!

[@GBAer64]

So what level of grade would this be with? Ex. Is this colleague level or 10th grade level. Also what subject would this topic and category fall to by the way?

[@TechnoBoy301]

The Eyetoy actually was based on or it copied the DreamEye for the Dreamcast which was only released in Japan.

[@dragon1130]

@evilmonkeyman289 and no IR sensor at the end of it.

[@hutrputr]

your are awesome for making this vid! love it with my brain capacity increasing

[@ionutz89ful]

you are verry got at trhis .. great job :D

[@jcnz84]

@3:10 nice Doc Brown reference.

[@thenintendo64nerd]

the music is freacking awesome

[@Porygonal64]

-flips a table- Fuck this shit, I'm only in Geometry. MY BRAIN DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR YOUR COMPUTER SPEAK.

[@TheLucarioBaoJunior]

0:03 What is that?

[@taylankahraman2388]

Bao Junior ps Move L0L

[@AlryFireBlade]

Eold be nice if you had left the music out or on lower volume. It is kinda difficult for me as non english speaker (Natively) to understand anything with the music.

[@iZePlayz]

I am a non native English Speaker too but i understood everything perfectly. As I see on your channel you are german too. Kommst du auch von Sambzockt? Der hat ja das Video in seinem neusten Video erwähnt und in seiner Beschreibung verlinkt

[@curbtripper]

Do you live in Florida? How do I know, the Bright House Networks DVR.

[@Kzar5678]

This is awesome. Subbed,

[@DanieleGiorgino]

That was really cool.

[@humbertochilo88]

lmao with the cookie part

[@Kayvon12321]

3:10 don't give me those excuses, Doc Brown!

[@DjStiv3]

hate nintendo since the gamecube but dammit im subbing to this dude nice reviews man

[@TioJust]

I was watching the video, till you showed me that cookie.

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Cool the will remote can work without the sensor bar.

[@WickedMuis]

8:19 HAHA! How cute :D

[@zurabtsereteli6947]

8:19

[@Bone8380]

*watches web gaming show* *walks away smarter*

[@MobileDecay]

This video is really gonna help a not so technical person. That's sarcasm of course. ;)

[@artemshatalov8317]

i don't know why, but when he said MEMS I instantly thought of memes

[@umcarainteressante]

When I bought my wii, it didn't come with a sensor bar O.o I used two TV controllers, 2 rubber bands and 2 little pieces of wood to force the buttons of the controllers to be always pressed. That way I could play without a sensor bar, but the cursor flicked a LOT. I tryied to use candles, but I couldn't put them in a proper place so they couldn't set my tv on fire. I had to use this shitty system for three months. I was so proud when finished RE4 with it XD

[@RocketNightStar]

Yeah, the Gusty Garden one.

[@TheLucarioBaoJunior]

0:41 LOL!

[@MrBumpits]

Wait, do you live in the US?

[@ethanjo2011]

K guys im just kidding! ... here,have a cookie. *shows NES Mario Kookie* lol

[@Alanzice]

Great video! Very informative. :-)
