Rumor: Nintendo struggling with Wii MotionPlus development
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 8 Comments
Initially, Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus was scheduled to launch in Spring, but that no longer seems to be the case. Nintendo has even failed to mention it in some of their latest press releases, which does bring up some suspicion regarding the peripheral’s status. According to IGN’s Matt Casamassina, Nintendo has been having a few issues with Wii MotionPlus.
“When I got wind that the DSi announcement which turned out to be pretty accurate…At the same time I heard that Nintendo was internally struggling with Wii MotionPlus and trying to figure out a few hiccups…And that they were going to delay the release of it all the way past June. And also Wii Sports Resort which would be like an eight game title, it would have eight games in it, not ten, and that would also be delayed a little bit…The only thing I got was vague and was like, ‘Oh, they’re having some hiccups in development.'” – Matt Casamassina, Nintendo Voice Chat podcast 39

Nintendo: DSi Browser would be great for kids to begin their Internet experience

This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks…
“In my personal opinion, I think it would be great if Nintendo DSi became a device allowing children to experience the Internet for the first time. I think there’s an immense value in being able to experience the Internet in the way you like using a handheld rather than a personal computer. In order to put your mind to rest when children use it, you can sign up for I-filter, which blocks objectionable content.” – Satoshi Furukawa, DSi Browser developer
