New Alone in the Dark Trailer Shows Off Unique Wii Controls

It stands to reason that the Wii version of Alone in the Dark is going to have a different control scheme than the other versions, but I didn’t realize just how far they were going with incorporating the motion controls. From the looks of this trailer, just about every other in-game action will involve some clever use of the motion controls from using the Nunchuk to aim your flashlight to replicating the motions to hotwire a car. And of course you can wave the Wii-mote to slash a weapon at enemies, ensuring this will get labeled as a murder simulator by someone. That’s not going to make me get the Wii version necessarily, but it is nice to see a developer incorporating the Wii-mote’s controls a bit differently. Unless they include a leather jacket in the package, that is; then it’s a must-buy.
