Rumor: Nintendo has two more MotionPlus titles for 2009
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii | 2 Comments
Wii Sports Resort, the first Wii MotionPlus-enabled title from Nintendo, only recently made its debut in Japan and will shortly be available worldwide in only a matter of weeks. However, it may not be the only game to be supporting the add-on from the company this year. According to Japanese website Gamememo, Nintendo will be publishing two more MotionPlus titles in 2009. The only questions are whether these titles have been announced or not and if the rumor only applies to Japan. Gamememo mentions Cosmic Walker as a candidate to be making use of the peripheral sometime this year, though Spam Smasher, which was announced secretly after E3 (and has been confirmed to use MotionPlus), is another possibility.

Miyamoto: Zelda Wii won’t be radically different
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
Over the past few years, there has been a long running debate amongst Zelda fans. There are some who argue that the series needs to receive major changes, while others believe that Zelda games should pretty much follow the same formula. This is something which was brought up in an in interview in the latest edition of Nintendo Power. Shigeru Miyamoto addressed how different Zelda Wii will be compared to previous titles in the franchise. Miyamoto said, “I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different. So, it looks like some fans will have to wait until the next Zelda title releases before any big changes are made. We’ll be posting more tidbits from the interview over the coming days.

Shattered Memories is a true, scary Silent Hill game
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
This quote comes from a Nintendo Channel E3 interview with Tom Hulett, producer on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories…
“Nothing’s been removed from the game to fit into a rating. It’s Silent Hill, it’s a scary franchise, it’s supposed to scare you. I know there are certain things you expect from a Silent Hill title. This game has all of that. We’re big fans. We expect the same thing, so we’ve worked hard to put it all into this game.”
A lot of developers are remaining true to their visions, even when it comes to creating mature titles for Wii. Just because it’s on a slightly more casual system doesn’t mean the team will be holding back.
