This is nothing new, it was mentioned several months ago, Miyamoto was the one pressuring Aonuma for Wii Motion Plus. It would be a massive failure for Nintendo if they didn't use it, in fact one reason the Wii has been losing popularity is the lack of games that use it at all.

@ spurgeonryan : you don't have to stand up to play this game, you only need to shake your hand, it will be similar to Twilight Princess but more precise. The same with Wii Sports Resort.

People go to the store, and they're like "How much for the motion plus?" and it's like idk 15 bucks. Then the reps is like, "But it's only good for like 5 games". The shopper gets and instant buzzkill.

I heard a customer shop for a Wii Fit Plus the other day, and she's like "It's 115 bucks just for that?", and that was the end of it. With no hype, little support the hardware doesn't move to the less passionate.

Exactly, sadly this is what killed the Wii momentum
