Why the Wii UDraw Tablet Failed | Review

Ойындар

The Nintendo Wii definitely had some of the strangest accessories. You have your Wii Zapper, Wii Bowling ball? This thing, even a vitality sensor that never saw the light of day.
However, one that is usually brought up in the conversation is the UDraw Tablet created by THQ. In this video, we are going to be diving into the development, hardware, software of the peripheral, and how everything led to its demise. Anyways let's get started.

    I feel like this would be a great option for people who wanted to try drawing with a tablet but weren’t sure if they’d like it.

    I always thought that the Tilt Maze and Tilt Colouring in Instant Artist was inspired by their de Blob games since they both have colouring and painting mechanics

    I was interested in the accessory but was not sure how much will it get into gaming. Drawing and painting? No thanks. Scribblenaut? Nah. It seems interesting and I’m sure there is a huge potential but there wasn’t much that it offered for gaming.

    I guess it could've worked as a sensor bar alternative for games like Ivy the Kiwi? Though, unfortunately this isn't actually a feature of the tablet - it only works with UDraw games.

    Since there are ways to connect this thing to your PC, I would say that it is a terrible alternative to a Wacom At least the Wii version, anyway. I still have yet to try the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, but my expectations aren't very high

    No. It is just like the Wii Wheel. You can't use it without the Remote. The remote is the only way to communicate with the Wii.
