Wii Sports 2, on the way?

wii sports 2

Excerpt from interview with Miyamoto from Wii.com:

As we didn’t know if there was going to be a Wii Sports 2 at the time or not, I gave the director a call and said to him, “This idea’s really good, and since there’s no official word on Wii Sports 2, could we have it for Wii Fit?” (laughs) Then I told the Wii Fit staff “I know it’s a little late in the project, but put this in too”, and the Aerobic Exercises selection finally started to meet our standards.”

“When you’re playing with a controller, if you’re struggling you might say that it’s because the game is difficult, but with physical activities like Wii Fit, you would tend to think that the fault rests with you and not with the software if you can’t do it. But at least you’d be left with the satisfaction that comes from performing physical activity. Because of this satisfaction, you’d want to try it one more time. You’d feel like doing things, such as just standing on one leg are good for you. And when you manage to pull it off properly, you’ll feel a new sense of accomplishment.”

    I’m surprised that Wii sports 2 hasn’t come out yet. The first one is fun but they’ve had two years to actually make the interface mimic your actions in a more realistic way. There are a lot of problems with the first version in that respect (like how in tennis it doesn’t matter which way you swing as long as the timing is correct), and there are very few games that actually do a good job of the motion-sensing controls. Since that’s the whole draw to the system I would have thought that Nintendo would have tried to produce more games that really use it. It’s not surprising that the number of games owned by Wii owners is much less than those owned by people with other systems. There’s still only one game available that really did a great job of taking advantage of the system’s strength. 360 and PS3 are all about graphic power and there are no shortage of games taking advantage of their strengths.
