The Playstation Move is set to arrive in September and we’ve not got another chance to see it in action. A new Japanese Playstation Move ad shows the Sony’s magic wand motion controller in the hands of an incredibly wide-eyed Japanese girl and offers a look of loads of Playstation Move gameplay including a peek at Resident Evil 5 with motion controls. Take a gander for yourself. Fear not, you don’t need a working knowledge of Japanese…

After showing off the PS3, the Playstation Eye and the Playstation Move controller itself, the Japanese Playstation Move ad dives into plenty of gameplay. First up there’s some serious screen time for Beat Sketch, the drawing game that’s headed for UK Playstation Move bundles.

Boxing game, The Fight: Lights Out, gets another starring role, there’s a cute shot of EyePet having a wash with the Playstation Move controller rendered onscreen as a shower head and some serious action with a look at Resident Evil 5 Move support.

There’s also footage of Kung Fu Rider, the slightly insane racing game featuring an office chair, target practice in The Shoot, a Jenga-style puzzle game called Tower and some arm-swinging action in High Velocity Bowling. Let us know what other games in the mix take your fancy.

With the Playstation Move release date pegged for September 17 and the Playstation Move price set at £49.99 for the Playstation Eye and controller, does this ad make you want to grab your wallet and place a preorder? Or does the prospect of an Kinect Xbox 360 bundle satisfy you urge to combine gaming and vigorous exercise?

Out September 17 | From £24.99 | Sony

    I'm still really not sold on Move. I know it's refined, better at depth perception, includes the camera – all that stuff. But when I've taked about it with my mates in the pub, those who had seen it online said “I've already got a Wii – why do I want that?”

    Kinetic gets a better response generally, but not by much.

    If I wanted a Wii I would buy a Wii, but I don't and the Move is too much like a console I would never buy! The PS3 has always felt like a serious gaming platform until now, it's a shame they aren't reaching a bit further with it. It's a shame, it all looks a bit old hat!
