Red Steel 2 will only work with WMP
Without it, "The gameplay simply isn't there."
It's been confirmed that the next instalment in the Red Steel series will only work with the Wii MotionPlus accessory.
Speaking to Nintendo Power magazine (as reported by Nintendo Pad), creative director Jason Vandenberghe admitted the move is a bold one.
"It's a huge risk. We have no idea what the penetration rate for Wii MotionPlus will be. We assume high. We would like it to be high," he said.
"I would love to say to you that it’ll be compatible with just a regular controller, but the gameplay simply isn’t there without MotionPlus. That core experience just isn’t there without it."
Just like the first game, Red Steel 2 will see you taking on waves of baddies using the Wii remote as a virtual sword. Here's hoping the addition of WMP will earn it a higher score than the original, which only managed to get 6/10 on Eurogamer.

Which translates to: 'Oh bugger, I'm going to spend yet more money upgrading the Wii so that it might do what it promised originally.'

Plus, games like Grand Slam Tennis will include it. If the Red Steel 2 developers were smart, they would do this too. That way, there'd be no risk.

That'll almost guarantee people will buy it.

Er... Far Cry series? Solid FPS right there, Rainbow Six has been pretty good too - both had titles released in 2008
I really hope this is good, I was so disappointed with Reed Steel

Think again.

In the likely case that Wii Sports Resort and the new Tiger Woods game turn out to be triple A products, then no doubt that Wii Motion Plus will be the new standard on the Nintendo Platform.

@Rirekon
They didn't produce the first Far Cry and the second one was utter wank.

They should do a bundle though tbh: if EA are doing it with the Tennis game then there's no reason why Ubi can't either.
