Gosh, you guys are all taking this way too serious. Come on, they reviewed a game poorly, had a good reason for it, and then fixed it. Don't make such a huge deal out of it, I'm sure they aren't.

Um, what? Out of date firmware caused Wii Motion + to behave in a funny fashion. The automatic update didn't trigger for the debug Wiis leading them to incorrectly assess how well the WM+ worked. How is that anything but a software bug?
Cool. I too was impatient with GST the first go round. Even going as far as saying VT to be superior. I am now picking GST up again and feel both games are worthy of purchase.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
I wonder if others who had debug kits were more diligent in doing manual updates of their firmware.
This episode -- while handled well by Eurogamer -- makes you wonder if reviewers are playing the right version of the game on the right hardware when they seem to have a totally different experience that everyone else.

This can go both ways too. No one had any trouble with Brawl's on-line in the pre-release testing. Then the system was flooded upon release.
 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |

I think it's more likely that many reviewers just weren't reviewing the title on debug kits and were simply using regular Wii's.

All you people flaming them, using the internet logic that people who make mistakes are idiots, don't know what the hell integrity is. It would cost them nothing to stay silent, yet they endure embarassment in order to be fair, and right, and honest. We all fall, gentlemen. Some of us just go about it a bit more gracefully than others. |
This quote needs to be in this thread one more time.
I applaud any person or groups of people that correct their mistakes and admit them because guess what? - We all make them.
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
Admitting your mistakes and correcting them makes you stronger...

So, now they will get sued by Electronic Arts?

pretty interesting considering the fact that many reviews don't take in to account online play.
We'll see if other reviewers come forward and own up following EG.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

EA's tennis game is far from perfect, and the control inconsistencies will be too much to overcome for any but the most dedicated tennis fans, but it's a good early attempt; hopefully as developers become more comfortable with the add-on, they'll create more precise (and easier to learn) controls.

EA's new tennis game makes a number of unforced errors that hamper what could've been a brilliant package.

The first Wii MotionPlus game struggles to prove the add-on's virtues in this awkward and inconsistent sim.

With the intention to bring the most authentic tennis experience to date, EA Sports launches Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii. Although the ambition shows in many of the game's features, it stumbles on the most crucial of them all, controlling the game. Therefore, it all ends up being a pretty mediocre experience.
