Can the current Wii not do that? I mean I realize it was a tech demo but I kind of assumed the "original" wii already had that capability.
To reiterate the above, no, it cannot currently do that. The controller can currently tell that it is being moved and it can tell what direction it is being moved in. The problem is it can't tell where it is before the motion begins. You can't swing high or low ... all you can do is waggle it to trigger an action which is exactly my problem with it, the waggle is nothing more than a glorified button press.
