Posted February 25, 2009 Tiger Woods 2010 will use MotionPlus. Time to unleash your inner Jack Nicklaus! It’s confirmed the next edition of the popular golfing franchise will have true 1:1 control... When it came to Wii last year, we loved Tiger Woods 09. The game featured a tonne of features, an impressive online mode and most importantly, sublime golfing controls. It looks like Mr Woods’ 2010 title will go one better, as EA confirms the Wii game will take use of Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus gadget. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, MotionPlus is an accessory that fits onto the bottom of the Wii Remote, and enhances the motion-controlling capabilities of the controller. In basic terms, it allows for true 1:1 gameplay in games – a feature that many gamers were hoping for originally. The news means that the tally for titles so far confirmed to use MotionPlus is scratched up to four – with EA Sports upcoming tennis title, Ubisoft’s Red Steel 2 and Nintendo’s own Wii Sports: Resort making up the rest of the list. Expect Tiger Woods 2010 to release this Autumn. http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=12922 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 25, 2009 When is someone going to show us what MotionPlus can do? Right now it just seems to by some thing that magically makes controls better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2009 I worry that buyers may be put off games that use M+, the expense and confusion may mean these games fail to impact sales wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Motion plus, simply plug it into your Wiimote and enjoy even more interactive gaming!... done. Really looking forward to seeing EA's sports games with Motionplus. Nintendo have been extremely quiet on the device since way back at E3 though!! Wasn't it due out in Q1 with Wii Sports Resort? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah I think all signs pointed towards Wii Sports Resort and Motion+ coming out around Easter. Do we know for certain if games will be Motion+ only, or will they be playable without? If you can play the likes of Tiger Woods with and without Motion+ then no one should be alienated.

I reckon they will be compatible with both Motion+ and non-Motion+ Wii-motes. As for which games will have Motion+, only Tiger Woods 2010 and Wii Sports Resort will have this feature that i know of so far. Correct me if i am wrong btw.

Tellyn says in the opening post that RedSteel 2 and EA Tennis will be Motion+ games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2009 I very much doubt any games will be motion+ only. Far too risky for anyone to do that. No doubt most upcoming games where Motion+ will make a difference will be compatible - even if it's not been confirmed yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2009 Nintendo have been extremely quiet on the device since way back at E3 though!! Wasn't it due out in Q1 with Wii Sports Resort? They said "Spring 2009" at E3. I guess it will be out around May. With it's Summer theme it makes sense with a late Spring release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2009 I'm hoping any big games like Zelda will be MotionPlus-only. Otherwise, the whole game would have to be designed around the non-enhanced remote, which would hold it back. We could see a mixture of games - some that need it and some that don't, but will be improved by using it. Turok 2 on the N64 worked with or without the RAM expansion. Majora's Mask, on the other hand, needed it, and therefore came with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2009 I'm just sad they screwed up with the original wiimote and now they need a janky solution to make it better. Here's to hoping new wiimotes will come with motionplus built in and that any existing wii owners will be able to purchase a motionplus attachment at a discount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2009 I worry that buyers may be put off games that use M+, the expense and confusion may mean these games fail to impact sales wise. Nintendo was smart and used Wii Sports 2 to solve that problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2009 IGN has got to play Tiger Woods 10 with Motion+, and they recorded video about it. Seems to work pretty much like promised. I just hope that power consumption won't be too much, as wiimote does already guzzle batteries in pretty fast pace. Video @ IGN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a golf fan, but I'm so impressed with the MotionPlus tech. I love the way the golf club remains still if you want it to, and the way it knows your exact angle and swing. The Revolution's true controller is finally here (soon)! Bring on the real Zelda Wii! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 10, 2009 Well, well, well... This game had officially been 9.0'd by IGN's Matt Cassamassina. Link: http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/993/993199p1.html He claims, 'You will not find a better game of golf on any system, period'. Think I'm going to pick this up now .

Posted June 10, 2009 I kinda wish this was out on friday with Grand Slam Tennis, and Wii Sports Resort was the 3rd July. Be my first proper golf game i've purchased really...since Mario Golf, i think the 1:1 controls will make this amazingly fun to play! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2009 That review is exciting. I have extremely high hopes for this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2009 I have been reading game impressions and it seems (holds breath) that this is what I thought golf would be like way back when I brought a wii. Have very high hopes for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
