Red Steel 2 Faces "Huge Risk," More Details Revealed

Thanks to the addition of Wii MotionPlus, Red Steel 2 looks as though it may be much like the game we all imagined the original would be at the launch of the Wii. However, by incorporating the use of the device so extensively, the developers are now swimming in dangerous waters. "It's a huge risk," Creative Director Jason Vandenberghe tells Nintendo Power (via Dpad). "We have no idea what the penetration rate for Wii MotionPlus will be. We assume high. We would like it to be high. 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." Thankfully, the device is likely to end up in a lot of homes, thanks to Nintendo's bundle with Wii Sports Resort, sequel to their system-selling Wii Sports. And if that weren't enough, EA will also be doing their part to get the device out there. Perhaps Ubisoft should talk to Nintendo about a bundle as well? (link)
