Rumors regarding Wii MotionPlus and a wake-boarding title for Wii have popped up from the Game Developer’s Conference which took place last week. The Wii MotionPlus speculation isn’t actually about the peripheral’s technology, but rather, the add-on might release with a jacket that cannot be taken off. Think of it as the Wii controller’s rubber casing, except you would have no choice but to leave the jacket on MotionPlus. As far as the wake-boarding Wii title goes, a conversation was overheard that the game is being built with the Balance Board in mind. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but it is possible that Disney Interactive could be involved in some way, as the discussion was heard close to an event that the company was holding.

It has now been confirmed that both achievements and stat-tracking will be present in The Conduit. At the end of a recent gameplay video, it can be seen that pressing the “Z” button the nunchuck will allow you to view player stats. Meanwhile, an entire section is dedicated to achievements and unlockables which will be located in the “Extras” menu. These are all very nice inclusion that will no doubt add to the game’s replay value.

Thanks to Jake for the news tip.

Back in January, the secret dark Wii title that IGN had been hinting about for months was revealed. The only problem was that the game was then considered to be canceled. So what has changed since gamers last heard about Winter?

The developers of the game have since created a new build of the game – Winter 2.0, as Dan O’Leary, president of development and creative director Ted Newman call it. Two weeks or so have been spent on the project. The developers have not only polished the game, but they have also added features such as Wii MotionPlus support for character attacks and object-based interactions. Graphically, the 3D engine has seen improvements. Textures have been upgraded and effects such as realistic falling snow and an overhaul of the flashlight can be noticed. The best news of all is that, according to O’Leary, a couple of publishers have shown interest in Winter. This could be an important step in seeing the game eventually release.

Gamers may remember that, last month, NGamer said they would have the scoop on Red Steel 2. Well, the issue has made the rounds to subscribers and strangely, information on the title appears to be absent. It really is a mystery as to what happened since Red Steel 2 seemed to be the centerpiece for the magazine’s latest issue. Apparently the game wasn’t even mentioned in the latest NGamer at all. Looks like gamers will have to wait a little while longer for Ubisoft to pull back the curtain on the game.
