Don’t Expect MotionPlus To Improve Your Old Wii Games

Do you think that – like trophy support on the PS3 – there is scope on the Wii for the new MotionPlus technology to be introduced for older games? Don’t be so optimistic.

Responding to speculation that developers would be doing just that, Nintendo have told GameDaily “The Wii MotionPlus accessory is only for games that are designed to make use of its abilities.”

Now, that’s not a “no, not ever, never”. But it’s certainly not promising. Very negative tone, that. So if you were quietly hoping MotionPlus would improve, say, the putting in Wii Golf, or crank-turning in Zack & Wiki, you might be better off trying to enjoy them for what they are, not what they could be.
