According to an interview over at IGN, current Zelda Director Eiji Aonuma was unsure about implementing Wii MotionPlus into the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – to the point where it was dropped from the game for two months of development. It took a little motivation from Katsuya Eguchi, a developer working on Wii Sports Resort, to convince Aonuma it was a feature worth having.
Late last month, a retail listing showed a FlingSmash bundle with the then unrevealed Wii RemotePlus. That controller is real and so is the bundle.
According to Nintendo, the Wii RemotePlus will be released on November 7 and priced at $US39.99. It features on-board Wii MotionPlus.
And it is apparently called “Wii Remote Plus”.
PlayStation Move and Microsoft’s Kinect were a big deal at E3, while Nintendo’s new Zelda makes full use of Wii MotionPlus. But what’s got you most excited?
The Wii MotionPlus-compatible game list increases by one, thanks to High Voltage Software’s Conduit 2, which optionally supports the Wii Remote add-on. Sega confirms it!
