[Backwards Man]

I thought we would get some screens or a release date - or any news just on Motion Plus! What's the deal? How delayed is it?

Haven't heard anything about Sports Resort, but there's a rumor that EA might release Grand Slam Tennis with Motion Plus bundled.

Wow, Nintendo allowing a third party developer to bundle a game with Wii motion plus? That game will be a massive seller for sure.

Still, why the delay for Resort? Do they just want it released in the fall closer to Christmas ?

If Grand Slam tennis includes the Motion Plus, then there is no longer any reason for me (or any hardcore gamer) to buy Wii Sports Resort. Simulation tennis beats a disc throwing dog anyday.

there is no official release date and you will find out more at this years E3.

Not sword fighting though, I still have nerdgasms over that.

We'll probably hear something about sports resort soon. I thought it was going to release in the first quarter of this year...

Might make a spring release:

With all of the amazing stuff that Nintendo did show at GDC, we briefly forgot about what it didn't show: Wii Sports Resort and the MotionPlus device, both of which we'd expect to hear something about if they were still planned for "spring."

MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo asked Reggie Fils-Aime about the missing game and peripheral, and Reggie suggested they could still make a spring release. "We haven't announced the full spring line-up ... And it feels like winter in Seattle right now."

Also worth a mention:

Reggie also mentioned that Wii Sports Resort's controls had been improved beyond the previous demo. "The level of full motion capability is far in excess of what we showed at E3."

Nice! Man I hope the game has online support. Like, really hope.

The Motion Plus *HAS* to be released by the time Tiger Woods '10 comes out. Nothing else will be acceptable.
