Nintendo: Next Wii Zelda Will Use MotionPlus

LOS ANGELES — In keeping with what is fast becoming an E3 tradition, Nintendo had just one more piece of news for us after its press briefing.

In a Q&A session with a room full of journalists, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto revealed — but did not let us photograph — the first piece of artwork from the next Legend of Zelda game for Wii. He said that the game will use the Wii MotionPlus controller, but said that it was not yet decided whether the game would be exclusive to Wii MotionPlus or not. He (half-)joked that it depends on sales of Wii Sports Resort.

The art pictured Link, as he appeared in 2006’s Twilight Princess, standing back-to-back with a mysterious young girl character shrouded in sky blue. Miyamoto said that major themes of the game were revealed in the piece of art. (Perhaps he’ll share it with the rest of the world in due time.)

Miyamoto said that they are aiming to release the game in 2010, but seemed hesitant to nail that release window down.
