Force Feedback and Accelerometer Capabilities

According to a recent interview from EA’s senior VP John Schappert, they delve into a possible Wii secret.  Hers is a quote:

IGN Wii: Do you use the trigger buttons on the nunchuck unit?

John Schappert: You know, the buttons are all still being mapped out. It does use the trigger buttons right now. I don’t know how much we’ll have locked in for you at E3 because we are still working on the final button layout, but it does use the trigger buttons, and it does use the accelerometer in the nunchuck unit as well for juking.

This explains that there is an accelerometer in the nunchaku.  Not much is known at this point in time, but E3 should shine more light on the subject.

Furthermore, qoute:

IGN Wii: Are you going to be using any force-feedback when you’re throwing the ball or when you’re getting hit, or anything like that?

John Schappert: Yes, we are. I think it’s a little early to talk about how. Right now, these are the core mechanics that we’ve been working on getting them right. And I think you’ll see further refinement there, but I think we’re pretty happy with how Madden will be experienced on Wii.

There will definitely some kind of jerking or rumbling in the remote and/or the nunchaku.  Stay tuned for more details as they are available at E3 about these and other secrets about the Nintendo Wii!
