But I would like to trace a thin silver lining to that enormous gray cloud that hardcore Nintendo fans will certainly feel this holiday season. You see....we are not getting the games we wanted for Christmas. We're not getting Kid Icarus...or Pikmin 3....We're not getting a new Zelda or even a Super Mario Galaxy 2....and I couldn't be more excited.
But why would that make me excited? Because we know for sure that these games are still in development, that they are still being built. And we also know, then...that they are being built with Motion Plus in mind. Just imagine if you were playing the new Zelda this Christmas...and knowing the whole time that 1:1 sword play was only 6 months away. I know for me I would feel like I was getting a product that wasn't even as advanced as a WiiSports 2 fencing mini-game....and that'd be a silly way to feel about a Zelda game. Don't you feel better already?

A Zelda game with 1:1 sword controls would be the worst game ever made. You may doubt this but let me ask you some questions before you reply. How much experience do you have using a real sword? Do you realize it take years to become even remotely profficient in the use of a sword? What happens when your attack is blocked? What do you do if your sword is parried? 1:1 sword fighting is a terrible idea.
