We all remember Wii Motion Plus. It was revealed back at E3 2008, and then released almost a year later in June 2009. It was what so many had initially hoped for when they heard that the Wii had motion controls. The Official Nintendo Magazine stated that movements are" captured extremely accurately", which they were. Motion Plus was awesome.
Some have likened Motion Plus to being like leaping from VHS to Blu-Ray technology in the world of motion gaming. 374,000 units sold in North America in the first month, and in Japan 650,000 units were sold in its first week. Wii Motion Plus was the next best thing in gaming, but what has happened to it in the two years since?
The Early Black Friday US deals for Nintendo games are quite impressive. From Pokemon to Fire Emblem, here are some awesome sales.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was originally released for the franchise’s 25th anniversary, celebrating everything Zelda, including the bosses.
Nintendo could be sitting on a gold mine with a past favorite.
Because we all miss accidentally throwing our Wiimotes at the TV, so let's throw some Joy-Cons.
I was always confused by Nintendo’s decision to kill the franchise. “Super” stayed with Mario titles even after the Super Nintendo. They can still use the Wii name. Hell it’s been so long that releasing a new one, or even an HD remaster, will tap into that nostalgia market.
Super was never because of the Super Nintendo. Super Mario Bros launched on the NES. The Super is because it's an indirect sequel to Mario Bros.
They can just call it Nintendo Sports or something, but using the Wii name would be a bit confusing.
Yeah i agree but i don't think Nintendo will be bringing wii sports to the Nintendo Switch samething goes for diddykong racing
It got integrated into the Wii Remote.
I thought after the Black Wii was released it was built into the remote
motion controls are dying already thats what happen.
I think a better part of the article is about what happened to Motion Plus supporting games. No Motion Plus in SMG2 for instance, but Motion Plus will be in the Skyward Sword, so it'll have its fair amount of support. Would be best if it was there from the start though.
