I really don't get why they wouldn't implement MotionPlus support.

I don't get how they could or why they would.

Um... sword-fighting game...

 

So?

 

The only time motion controls were used for sword fighting in the first game was finishing moves, all that was needed was a single swipe across the screen which Motion+ brings no benefit to at all.  The tilt for the upper/lower stance doesn't benefit from Motion+ and the wrestling moves wouldn't either.

 

If the game can support classic controller then it really shows just how pointless Motion+ would be.

Yeah, I think a lot of us were hoping that the game design would evolve past button-mashing punctuated by gestures. It made sense with the limited fidelity of the accelerometer, but when the big gameplay advancement is being able to press a button to switch to canned attack moves with two swords, it's a little disappointing.

I'm still on-board for Travis shenanigans and Suda-brand insanity, but this is a missed opportunity to do something new. It's clear that the goal was to refine all the shortcomings of the first game and not to push any new boundaries.

Red Steel 2 is still looking quite promising.

Wii MotionPlus was announced while NMH2 was near the end of development, so implementing WM+ would've required a lot of backtracking, which in the end won't e worth the wait.

 

Besides, NMH has dozens of enemies coming at a fast pace, and can you tell me how you would dodge bullets? By standing still, just like the 1st game. The game will be a must-buy no matter what, so I don't see why you guys are making such a big deal about it.

 

It has better graphics, a better overworld, 2D minigames, and at least ~20 bosses.
