The games I am considering working with for this project are Super Mario Kart and Starfox. I chose both of these games because of their simplistic control schemes. Both of them would also have relatively similar methods of play in the sense that they would both use an accelerometer and one or two light sensors.
I think Super Mario Kart could benefit from the new control scheme as driving would seem more realistic in the game if it used an accelerometer. With Starfox its the same deal. Starfox you would be using the accelerometer to aim your ship, and then use the light sensor to shoot at obstacles and enemies.
What caused me to decide on these two games is by looking at some of the obscure controllers that were made specifically for certain games. These obscure and different looking controller were oftentimes made for one specific game that had a specific purpose. In my opinion, the ability to steer with the Wii Wheel in Mario Kart Wii could be replicated for older games such as Super Mario Kart. For Starfox, motion controls can also be used to aim your ship and shoot at targets in space.
Some questions I have about these controller designs are:
1. Are these controller designs practical for what needs to be accomplished?
2. What are some changes I can make to the designs such that they are unique and interesting?
