Now that the fungineers at Nintendo have increased the smile efficiency of the Wii Remote via a brand new accessory, the Wii MotionPlus, what’s in store for the vanilla Wii Remote? What if I don’t want to purchase a reasonably priced copy of Wii Sports Resort, but want that 1:1 motion control the Wii MotionPlus promises?
Nintendo’s corporate affairs VP Denise Kaigler confirmed to us earlier this week that the Wii Sports sequel is currently the only game that’s confirmed to take advantage of the new sensor, but… what if? What if, say, Mario Teaches Sniping is coming down the line and requires the add-on? Will Nintendo release an updated Wii Remote, one integrated with the MotionPlus tech built-in?
Katsuya Eguchi, producer of Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus subject matter expert, says the company is currently thinking about integrating it into the current remote.
Nintendo fans may still be mentally recovering from the company’s softcore E3 media briefing that focused on fare like Shaun White Snowboarding and Wii Music, but fans of Wave Race may find the following lifts their spirits. Wii Sports Resort‘s “power cruising” mode may be a more hardcore appealing experience than it would appear at first blush.
“I’m confident it will surpass Wave Race 64 in depth”, said the game’s producer, Katsuya Eguchi. We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, considering he’s credited with director duties on the Nintendo 64 classic.
Even if it’s not as fully featured or “deep” as the original watercraft racer, it’s going to have to suffice for now. Eguchi opted not to comment on plans for a sequel, something we shan’t hold our breath for.
