Miyamoto: MotionPlus in Zelda Wii will be used for various targeting systems, Spirit Tracks will be fun
November 2nd, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Wii, Written by ValayDuring a Q&A session at Nintendo’s Semi-annual Financial Results Briefing, both Satoru Iwata and Miyamoto answered a slew of questions. One particular topic was Zelda. Miyamoto discussed both The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and the next Zelda game for Wii.
“[Zelda ST] will be really fun. It’s turning out to be rather challenging. Many of our Japanese customers were introduced to the Zelda series with Phantom Hourglass, and ST could prove to be kind of hard for them, but I thought we’d show them what Zelda is really made of this time around. So it’s turning into quite a unique title. We’ve managed to gather quite a few creative team members for Zelda ST, so I’d like Zelda Wii to also enjoy creative development as much as possible. About MotionPlus. We’re implementing it so that players can feel like they themselves are holding the sword. In the previous Zelda (TP Wii) the targeting was based on the IR pointer. This time however, we’ll be using MotionPlus for a variety of more convenient targeting systems that will allow for more pleasant gameplay.”

This is great news about Spirit Tracks. While I loved Phantom Hourglass, I felt that the only problem was the really easy difficulty.
I also think Wii MotionPlus Zelda is a great idea.

I wonder if zelda will be M+ required? I also wonder how many people have M+ now. You should do a poll.
Majoras mask for the 64 required an expansion and it still sold well, and that expansion was $10 more heh.

nice to know that Spirit Tracks is doing great. I’m REALLY looking forward to playing it although I’ll be receiving mines for Christmas. I’m buying it with my own money but i want to wait till Christmas morning. as for Zelda Wii I’m most definitely looking forward to it!

Sounds as though Zelda Wii is coming along smoothly. Goodie.

Yep, that’s lots of great stuff to hear from the man Miyamoto; about Zelda Spirit Tracks & the TBA Zelda Wii!
I’m also excited; & glad I already pre-ordered my copy of Spirit Tracks from Amazon.com!

I don’t own Wii MotionPlus, but I will gladly buy one for Zelda because the $20 is worth it to finally have 1:1 swordplay.

YAY! Zelda wii and Spirit tracks are going to be amazing (when have zelda games never been amazing?)
By JoshZTP2 on Nov 2, 2009
Like @Jake said: Zelda games are always amazingly good… except Zelda II AoL or the god aweful CDi! Like I want to start a discusion about those anyway; LOL!
