Remember way back at E3 2008 when everyone’s favorite Reggie Fils-Aime promised Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus for a spring time release? Here we are and I still haven’t gotten to ecstatically throw a virtual beach frisbee, Cammie Dunaway style. MTV Multiplayer blog backed the Nintendo of America president into a corner (is that even possible?) and unintentionally managed to give us a semi-clear time frame.
MTV Multiplayer: The lack of MotionPlus and any specifics on when it’s coming out ’ even as EA has their tennis game slotted for mid-June and their “Tiger Woods” game slotted for June [both of which support MotionPlus] ’ has led to speculation that ”¦
Fils-Aime: You know we don’t comment on rumor and speculation”¦
MTV Multiplayer: Ok. The logical conclusion is that there would seemingly need to be a MotionPlus out when these games are out in June. At the same time ’ now I asked about the speculation part; here’s the rumor part ’ there were problems with MotionPlus development. Do you want to put any of that to rest? Is this project not going where it needs to be going?
Fils-Aime: We do not comment on rumor and speculation.
Boy, Reggie”¦I hope you don’t play poker with that face. The short interview goes on to discuss the MotionPlus peripheral and what Reggie thinks of the latest build he played two weeks ago.
