A portion of an interview between Nintendo World Report and Nintendo's Marketing man Bill Trinen

BT: Development kits are around so I'm sure all the developers are looking to see what they can do with it. Whether or not they implement Wii MotionPlus is more of a decision on the creative side. The last thing that we want to do is try to push people to implement it into games where it's not appropriate. That being said, I'm sure that we're going to be seeing a number of additional third party titles. We have, of course, our own titles that we're working on. Typically we won't really talk about our own games until we're ready to show them because we really feel that playing is believing.

That being said, Mr. Miyamoto did mention at E3 2009 that the next Zelda game is going to be Wii MotionPlus-compatible.

NWR: I know Nintendo doesn't want to reveal anything about what they're working on with MotionPlus, but I take it there is a stable of games that is being worked on?

BT: Well, we always have a stable of games that are being worked on. There was another one that we showed off at E3 that was MotionPlus-compatible: Span Smasher. We haven't made any decisions on launch timing or anything for that game here in North America.

NWR: Is it coming to North America?

BT: Until we've announced anything, it's too hard to say. The fact that it was at E3 doesn't guarantee [it], but it's certainly not a bad sign.

NWR: Any word on anything for Mother 3 or Another Code coming to America?

BT: You know, when you hear about them, you'll hear about them. (laughs) Until then, there is nothing on those at this point and time.

And should anyone be surprised? This is Nintendo's typical canned response about anything. If you ask a question that Nintendo doesn't want to answer, the answer is you'll know for sure later when we release a press release.

just sounds liek standard Nintendo PR, 'until we say so, its not happening' sort of thing

I'm not interested at all in Span Smasher, but I can smell from the distance that Monado will get the same treatment as previous Monolith Soft. games. They will not release them in the USA, even though they unveiled them at E3, like Disaster: DoC.

o'rly then why show it at a western event????...plzz

are you guys really that interested in Span Smasher? comon.
Another Code R is a pitty but is not really that much of a loss either.

The reason Disaster didnt up being in US was because EUs dismal sales. And also the overall quality of the product wasnt worthy of Nintendos seal. Its a good ,but short game that shouldnt be released after games like Overlord are out and look so much better and have improved gameplay.
If monado doesnt brings its graphics to wii standarts, it shouldnt come to US and taint the nintendo reputation with a subpar game.

@intro: Disaster got positive reviews all across the board, and wasn't released in the most important market. Then games like DK: Barrel Blast and NPC: Mario Tennis which got pretty bad reviews get released here. I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

And, as I said, that is Nintendo's caned response when they don't want to talk to you. They showed it at E3 because they think they will release it. If it was received extremely poorly at E3 they may can it, but there is a good chance it is coming and they just don't want to say anything.

i swear, nintendo must have a PR training program all employees must go through

Shame about Another Code. Wish I could just import and play that and Disaster.
