One of Nintendo's biggest surprises at E3 this year was the unveiling of a collaboration between Nintendo and Team Ninja, Metroid: The Other M. It's not a sequel to Retro Studios' Metroid Prime series, nor a brand-new side-scrolling adventure. Metroid: The Other M is something completely different -- an action-brawler.
Even though Nintendo was touting a number of new games at E3 that supported MotionPlus, Metroid: The Other M won't be one of them, Team Ninja's Yusuke Hayashi explained to me during an interview at E3 this week.
"It [Metroid] is not compatible with the Wii MotionPlus," said Hayashi. "One of our major goals with this game is beautiful game design and as we were progressing through development we discovered that it [MotionPlus] was actually not working with what we were shooting for. Once you get your hands on a demo and really experience it for yourself, you should understand what I'm talking about."
I'm anxious to find out what he means, too. Maybe at Tokyo Game Show?

so is this a fighting game or more or less like Prime?

I agree. They should have stayed with the older format or at least get all the bugs out of the "upgrade" before they release it. I think it was a bad idea trying to refresh the site right at the time of E3.
On topic: Who cares if this Metroid game uses the Wii Motion Plus or not? The Motion Plus addition is simply a tool that developers must decide whether they feel they should use it or not. Kudos to Team Ninja for not forcing an unnecessary or arbitrary function into their game.

As long as the game plays well, and is fun, I could care less about Motion Plus. In fact, the only game that interests me that would benifit from motion plus is Red Steel 2.

Gah! I can't wait for this! I'm sure it'll be a great game with or without the MotionPlus add-on.
