Motion Plus in Next Zelda a Possibility

, , , ...


Remember the 'gag clause' they put into Miyamoto's contract? Well, Nintendo should review that. Shiggy has done it again and went on to 'spill the beans' on an interview granted to GameLife, stating that the next Legend of Zelda game for the Wii will in fact make use of Motion Plus for a more realistic experience.

n this (installment of the series), we're using MotionPlus to make you feel much more like you're actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand. In the previous game, you aimed at things by pointing at the screen, but this time we'll use MotionPlus to create a much more convenient targeting system and a more pleasurable playing experience.


Now, I get how Motion Plus could help swordplay, and call me paranoid if you like, but how would you improve AIMING by removing pointing at the screen and using the add-on instead?

Nintendo, however, has yet to make an official announcement on this, so things are a little unclear as to whether the game will only use Motion Plus as a complement or if it will be mandatory to be able to play it, so stay tuned...maybe the announcement will come at next year's E3 (boom, baby! P:).

Epic Art

I'm not going to comment much on this, because the artwork is something that you HAVE to see for yourself.

GameInformer has just released a plethora of new images and video related to the upcoming Wii-exclusive title, Epic Mickey. Go check it out!

Rumor: Charles Martinet Teases New Mario Game?

, , , ...


Twitter can be an absolutely amazing service. That said, it's not always the most reliable source of news. That's why this story is marked as a rumor; one I'm reluctant to post.

If this Twitter account, supposedly that of voice actor Charles Martinet, is real, then we have quite an interesting story on our hands. Martinet, who voices several characters for Nintendo, including Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, dropped some major Mario-related news over the past week:

Mama Mia!!!! I'm going to Seattle this week to record a new Mario game! Woo Hooo!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!1


Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!


Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!



Even if the Twitter account is real, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Martinet could always be teasing Mario Party 9.

Rumor: Epic Blunder (UPDATE: NOT ANYMORE)

, , ,


Cross everything out. GameInformer has confirmed that the game IS a Wii-exclusive title, and it was hoping to keep the exclusive news to itself... Well, the Internet has done it again.
Epic blunder it is... According to 1UP, the 'fact' that Epic Mickey was a Wii-exclusive title, might have been a drawn-too-soon conclusion. They say that, although early leaks from the publications stated that the game was a Wii exclusivity, all references to such fact have been removed from the actual number, suggesting that the game is now looking to launch in different consoles.

The war is on.

Game Informer Cover Confirms Epic Mickey

, , , ...


The AWSOME cover of Game Informer's next issue blows the lid on Dinsey's upcoming (and so far, secret) game, Epic Mickey. The game is real.

Many leaks have surfaced in the past, including some pretty interesting artwork. Now, this cover confirms that the game is real, and apparently it will also reveal that it is in fact a Wii exclusive. The plot, also, will have something to do with the paintbrush seen in Mickey's hand.

Let's wait and see. Disney as we've never seen it before? Yes, please.

Monster Hunter Tri USA Might Talk More and Pay Less

, , , ...


According to a few reports and interviews, Monster Hunter Tri in the US MIGHT include Wii Speak support and eliminate the online play fee present in the Japanese version.

As you might know, the Japanese version of the game not only does not have Wii Speak for online play, but it includes a monthly fee if you want to keep playing it online (sort of the point of the game). This side of the ocean, however, the story might be a little different. Here's what they have to say about the online fee.

It's something that we're looking into at the moment and there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, Monster Hunter isn't as popular in the West, so it might put people off. Secondly, Japan doesn't have Friend Codes, so Capcom run all the servers and the monthly fee is essentially to pay for those costs. - Chris Kramer, senior spokesman for Capcom USA. (GamingUnion)


As for the Wii Speak support, they know it's something many people want (and to be honest, only a handful of games include).

We're looking into right now whether it's technically possible or not. And so if it is, maybe we'll make an announcement. If it isn't, you know, if it realistically can't be done, then I'm sorry we may have to leave it out. But we're looking into it. - Ryozo Tsjmoto, producer for Capcom. (G4)
