Suda51 hasn’t touched MotionPlus yet but he would like to use it if he could

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments

“I would like to use Wii MotionPlus for No More Heroes 2 if I could…I haven’t even touched Wii MotionPlus yet so I am not aware with how it works so that’s why I am not sure yet.” – Suda51

Wii MotionPlus might make the No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle pretty interesting. However, if Suda51 uses it, it would be best to make sure it’s not just a gimmick or a tack-on.
