by Daniel VuckovicJuly 29, 2008

In a new interview EA Tiburon associate producer Greg Rinaldi has revealed that he was surprised to see Nintendos Wii Motion Plus and wishes that EA were told about the device earlier, as now they cant implement it until next years Tiger Woods. I did some research on my own, and gyroscopes are pricey. EA isn’t in the business of creating peripherals, but it’s something we toyed with a little bit. I say leave it to the people like Nintendo. They know what they’re doing.”” More inside

If youve ever played a Golf game on Wii youll know that no one so far has perfected or replicated what its like to really swing a club. Rinaldi is looking forward to it and says we’re definitely looking at it and it will be a big part of Tiger for next year. The implications for golf are tremendous. I know so many people who are golfers in real life, and they play Tiger Wii and they’re like “”I wanna get my real swing in there””.
