They need more games, period. That means greenlighting more internally supported games (sorry, Zelda, Reginliev and Spawn Smasher aren't enough for 1.5 years) and throwing out incentives for attractive 3rd party games that use it (reduced royalties, advertising support, more bundling, etc). Since Ubi's sending RS2 to die now, Nintendo should be stepping in and promoting the shit out of it for them.

I'm most surprised at how asleep at the wheel Japanese 3rd parties are though. Where the hell is Dragon Quest Swords II? Powerful Pro Yakyuu Plus? Super Monkey Ball 4? WTF, where are the games, the thing's already outsold 360 in Japan and is probably on it's way to passing up PS3?!?



Around the Network

The only thing Nintendo needs to do in reguards to WiiMotionPlus is 2 things. Release a WiiMotionPlus specific game and announce the WiiMotionPlus specific details of Zelda Wii. Those two things will hype WiiMotionPlus to the limit the peripheral needs from the Nintendo side. Third parties should be picking up the slack for the rest. As we've seen, they most likely won't.
