MotionPlus Needed for Next Zelda

[Demon_Skeith]

MotionPlus will be an integral part of the next Zelda game, with comments from Shigeru Miyamoto suggesting that the peripheral will be compulsory for Link's next adventure on the Wii.

'The goal at this point is that we would make Wii MotionPlus required in order to play Zelda', Miyamoto told Wired. 'The bigger hurdle for us is not really whether people have a Wii MotionPlus or don't have it, it's whether or not the experience is one where people will think they want to have a Wii Motion Plus in order to experience it.'

Released this Friday, MotionPlus augment's the Wii's existing remote and introduces near 1:1 control.

I already plan to have this device on it's release date. So won't be a factor for me

Wii Owners should be expecting this to be mandatory for the more epic wii games coming soon.

The Zelda game seems cool, but having it require the Wii Motion Plus might turn some people away.

Seriously doubt that. Look at how many Zelda fans bought a $250 game system, the Wii, just to be able to play the newest Zelda game.

$20 , for a better motion controlled experience, is not going to turn any Zelda fan away

Well, maybe if you were a hardcore Zelda fan, but for a general gamer, I wouldn't think so.
