Forums - Nintendo - Will Wii Sports Resort ONLY be compatible with Wii Motion Plus?

Just speculating, but as Wii Motion Plus is supposed to be getting bundled with Wii Sports Resort, then I wonder if they are going to make Wii Sports Resort so that it is only playable in collaboration with Wii Motion Plus.

Strikes me that this would be the best way for them to sell as many units of Wii Motion Plus as possible.

makes sense to make it only work with motion plus, it has the wii sports name, it is the perfect game to sell the the motion plus.

they didn't release enough info but its safe to assume that wii sports resort will only work with motion plus

The purpose of the game is to showcase what WMP can do. How could they do that if the game didn't require it?

2 games are without doubt integral to the function of the motion plus, jet ski's and sword fighting. I dont think they will design it to be used in any other way.

There will be deals offering an extra mote plus attachment along with the WSR pack.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The game should come with at least 2 WMPs. If Wii means We then Wii Sports resort shouldn't be played by only 1 person and you shouldn't have to cough up extra money just to play with others.

prepare to be disappointed.. thats like saying they should have packed two remotes with the wii because it comes with wii sports.. and while that'd make sense on a gaming level, they clearly have chosen to go the other way with that one, which was more suitable for them businesswise

 Eventually.

 When the sales of the current SKU slows down.



Pixel Art can be fun.

of course it's going to require WMP. the entire reason for the game is to showcase WMP just like wiisports was there simply to showcase the wiimote.

the real question is how many of the games require 2 wiimotes with WMP. buyers are going to be pissed if they buy the game and find out they have to go back to store to buy another WMP accessory just to play half the games.
