Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe for pistol-whipping melee attacks. Maybe they've decided to include some kind of kickass melee weapon. I would think that such functionality would be very doable without WMP, but why not increase responsiveness by adding WMP support for those who have the add-on?

@ Exblackman

I don't think that necesssarily follows. HVC was already interested in implementing voice before WiiSpeak was announced. Since their PR team is the same bunch of guys as their dev team, when WiiSpeak was announced they could simply say that they intend to support voice and get to work on it without dancing around the issue and saying they'll have to ask somebody else in the company.

As for WMP support, they may already have licensed NaturalMotion middleware for their game and adding in their latest tools for WMP support takes little effort. I'm not sure where you're getting that 9 month number from, the middleware is already available.

I'm not ruling out that Nintendo will be their publisher, I just don't think that your evidence supports this claim.

The conduit is only game using wii motions plus in the coming 9 months from from third parties and if the miidleware for wii motion plus is so available why does the Clone wars not have wii motion plus support it has time to  implement it . Any game released in the late fall or early sprng would be able to use wii motion plus then but only the conduit is at of all those games and found artcle that says that developers weren't giving  anything on wii motion till after E3. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/16/wii_motionplus/ So I'm just making hypothesis with just some facts as you can see which not really far fetch to believe.

 

The reason why Conduit might use it while Clone Wars won't is that implementing that much motion control in a swordfighting game completely changes the nature of the gameplay. Playing Clone Wars designed for basic wiimote and Clone Wars designed for WMP would be an almost completely different experience.

Since Conduit is mostly shooting with the IR pointer, it can implement WMP support for a few melee attacks and some puzzles without dramatically changing the game experience and having to worry so much about ruining gameplay.

Basically Conduit is just supporting the device, not building a game around it. Clone Wars would have to build the game around it. That's why it would be much more work for Krome than it would be for High Voltage.

And the fact that the device won't even be available until months after the release of Clone Wars is also a factor. Why do all that coding to implement a feature that people won't be able to take advantage of for months? WMP will release at roughly the same time as Conduit, so giving customers a chance to play around with the device a bit in your game would be a great selling point.
