Monster Hunter Tri producer doesn’t regret lack of motion controls
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“The thing with motion controls is that it’s perhaps not conducive to lengthy gaming sessions because you’d have to move both hands and arms for an extended period of time,” said Tsujimoto, producer of Monster Hunter Tri. “I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with motion controls, quite the opposite, but it wasn’t appropriate with Monster Hunter Tri.” – Ryozo Tsujimoto, Monster Hunter Tri producer
I’m perfectly fine with the fact that Monster Hunter Tri doesn’t use motion controls. In fact, the game probably works out better with the Classic Controller Pro anyway.
