Miyamoto the only one requesting MotionPlus in Zelda Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto has stressed in numerous interviews that he wishes to include Wii MotionPlus in Link’s first true outing on Nintendo’s console. In fact, he has gone as far as to say that there’s a good chance the game will require the peripheral. But believe it or not, Miyamoto has also said that he is the only one asking for MotionPlus support in the game.
“One thing that I will tell you that I have made a request of the team is I really want to work with Wii MotionPlus. That being said, right now I’m the only one who is asking for that. Wii MotionPlus is something that would really lend itself well to new Link.”
I really must say that I am surprised by this. You would think that a good majority of the development team would be interested in at least experimenting with it…Who wouldn’t want more accurate sword controls?
