Tournament of Legends does not support MotionPlus, no online multiplayer

Check out this blurb from IGN’s preview of Tournament of Legends…

“If you’re wondering if Tournament of Legends will support Wii Motion Plus, the answer is no. Because the motion controls are evenly split between the Nunchuk and Wii Remote Corso said it felt imbalanced to have the added effects of Motion Plus on one side but not the other. The motion controls were surprisingly responsive in my time with the game. Gestures are limited to simple horizontal and vertical swipes and the sensitivity felt right. In just a few minutes I felt like I was able to pull off vertical and horizontal attacks without worrying about the intensity or exaggeration of my motions. If motion controls aren’t your thing, High Voltage is supporting the Classic controller, and you can also map all the motion controls to buttons and the d-pad. While the game will support local multiplayer there won’t be any online multiplayer.”

Like The Conduit, High Voltage has decided to drop Wii MotionPlus support from Tournament of Legends. Based on the IGN preview, it sounds like the controls are somewhat accurate, albeit limiting. Hopefully The Grinder will keep its MotionPlus functionality!
