For those worried Nintendo would delay this until Xmas, finally we have a release timeframe.
Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to the most owned game in all history, along with the new MotionPlus addon will be released in July.
That means two of EA's new games, Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods 10 (which are both contenders for Sports GOTY) are scheduled to be out a full month before M+! I wonder if they'll be delayed to July as well.
MotionPlus is going to change the way we play games. We'll start with Frisbee (Disc Dog), Jet Skiing (Power Cruising) and Kendo (Sword Play), as well as 7 other unannouced games, and from there, possibilities are endless. "Skill" is going to mean much, much more than how fast you can press a button, and the traditional gamepad (an old Nintendo invention) as well as the stereotypical image of a gamer sitting lifeless on a couch is going to be a thing of the past.
The release of M+ will also signal the end of PS3, and unless MS has answer, the 360 as well. This is the Wii we all imagined from the beginning. Our wildest fantasies of how great motion control will be in the future is going to become a reality in just 4 months.
Hardcore gamers laugh because there is no blood in Wii Sports Resort, but as we now know, they're a small minority. The rest of the world and I will be camped out in July, eagerly awaiting to see how Miyamoto changes the entire gaming industry once again, in the form of our midnight copies.
