Video game with dual motion controllers
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a game program for executing game control using an output from a sensor at least capable of detecting a motion in at least two axial directions of a first axis direction and a second axis direction, the game program causing a computer of a game apparatus to perform:
- motion detection for detecting a motion in the first axis direction of the sensor;
game control for, when the motion detection detects a motion in the first axis direction, executing game processing based on an output from the sensor in the second axis direction and a magnitude of an output from the sensor in the first axis direction during a predetermined time period immediately before but not after the detection of the motion.

Abstract
An inclination of a first unit is detected based on an output from a first acceleration sensor provided in a first unit of a controller, and an inclination of a second unit is detected based on an output from a second acceleration sensor provided in a second unit separate from the first unit. A difference between the inclinations of the first unit and the second unit is detected, and game control is performed using the detected difference. Thus, with a game apparatus using a plurality of acceleration sensors or a plurality of sensors capable of detecting a motion or a posture, a dynamic play is made possible with a high degree of freedom of motion and an intuitive motion input is realized.
