The Nintendo of America president promises more first party games supporting the Wii Remote addon are on the way.

You may have thought that Wii Sports Resort’s wild success last year (and into the present) would have resulted in a multitude of announcements for new titles supporting the Wii MotionPlus, but this hasn’t really been the case yet. We currently only know of three new MotionPlus-exclusive titles, those being Red Steel 2 (coming out this Thursday), Fling Smash (the second first party title to support the addon) and the Zelda title currently in development. However, Reggie Fils-Aime from Nintendo believes they’re still supporting the device very well.

"There’s tremendous support for Wii MotionPlus," he says. "First, what it would highlight is that Wii Sports Resort continues to sell exceptionally well. In addition to that you’re seeing some fantastic third party support. Red Steel 2...about to come out. And from a first party perspective we showed Fling Smash. There are more titles that are coming, it continues to be a core part of what we do."

Another thing the Nintendo of America President pointed out was that they don’t interfere with their developers’ control decisions. "But I guess what’s unique with Nintendo is we don’t force our developers to stick to a particular type of control scheme, and you’ve seen that. Everything from the new Metroid title to be single remote driven to Fling Smash utilizing the Wii MotionPlus. So it’s all about what’s right for the game."

Hopefully during E3 in June time we’ll see some more games taking the leap to the MotionPlus.
