It’s been confirmed that Red Steel 2 for the Nintendo Wii is being developed for the Wii Motion Plus addon only. This means that if you don’t plan on purchasing the WMP addon, then you won’t be able to play Red Steel 2.

I really don’t know why you wouldn’t want to get WMP as it will give you one-on-one controls, meaning pinpoint accuracy during swordplay and gun weilding. All I can say is that this is a smart move on behalf of the creators.

“It’s a huge risk,” said Red Steel 2 creative director Jason Vandenberghe. “We have no idea what the penetration rate for Wii MotionPlus will be. We assume high. We would like it to be high.”

Here’s a trailer of Red Steel 2 for your enjoyment!
