Next Zelda game to require MotionPlus, says Miyamoto

According to Nintendo’s mastermind, Shigeru Miyamoto, the next entry in the ever loved Zelda franchise will definitely require the use of the new Wii MotionPlus, stating that the new peripheral will “make you feel much more like you’re actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand.” In addition, players will also be able to use the accessory to target on-screen items and enemies in place of the Wii’s infrared sensor, thus giving the player “a much more convenient targeting system and a more pleasurable playing experience.”
“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.”
While this is pretty much what I expected from Nintendo in regards to the next Zelda game, I have to say that this is exactly what I pictured my experience with Twilight Princess would be like. I guess props are in order here for Nintendo -better late than never I suppose-, especially when we’re talking about something a huge as Zelda. Either way, I’m sure many big fans of the series (including me) will be running to store shelves to buy the game, whether the experience ends up being as good as Miyamoto says it will be, or not.
Do you guys think, this is a fair move by Miyamoto to us gamers? Please comment below. No registration required to comment.

Nintendo is so greedy. They’re promoting a product which help to wiimote do what nintendo promised it did.
if you have to buy an extra part for the wii mote then no im notgoing to get it game stuff is getting quite expensive
I’m still hanging out for a decent game to use with the Wii motion plus, Sport-Resort is a bit of fun, but a game that uses the motion plus to actually immerse into the game a bit more. Like the swordplay bit in Resort has so much potential.. Can’t wait for this – Red Steel 2 looks like it might be a goer too.
I just can’t stand the fact that it’s “required”. Sure, implement it, but at least give me the option of traditional controls!
If you remember, Majora’s Mask required the addon card for the N64 to enable play. I personally thought the game was awesome, well worth the extra 30 bucks for the addon. Hopefully this one will exceed expectations and prove a worthy game to spend extra money on (considering you dont already have the motionplus)
No. Nope. Never. Nintendo has completely alienated me. Yes, I have a wii, and a PS3. First nintendo stopped making games for the generation that first supported them (kids of the 80’s) with the N64 – everything was made for family friendly, cuddly consumers. Then they let go of gamers all together and decided that seniors were a better market. Now they have a few franchises left for us original Nintendo fans, and what do they do? You must pay extra to play our game. I will never use motion plus on anything else should I buy it for Zelda – it’s a one-time use item. I played twilight princess on the GC, motion isn’t needed for these games. Motion control is BS. Just gimme buttons and analogue sticks (and maybe a D-pad).
Assuming that it noticeably improves gameplay, it’s worth it. Still I’m getting tired of this, Nintendo’s E3 09 was fine but after going over it, it translated to Nintendo saying “Here you bastards, now shut the fuck up.” … Why do we have to tell Nintendo how it should be done?
Two words:Expansion Pack. Yes the one on the N64. It was worth the money, plus I found the Wii waggle to be extremely disappointing.
I’m not by any means rich, but I wouldn’t care if we had to purchase an exclusive zelda/Wii controller — I’d buy it.
The most important thing now is GET THE GAME RELEASED –please-please !! so we can buy it !!!
I think I’m the only person who purchased and still has the original NES “Advantage” controller.
True zelda fans will spend as much as needed in order just to play it. At least the Zelda team are trying to keep things fresh and taking advantage of these add ons and not 100% repeating the whole process. They haven’t let us down yet and i doubt they will do any time soon. Keep up the good work Team Zelda.
