Wii MotionPlus -- the Wii Remote attachment revealed Eurogamer), Nintendo's Katsuya Eguchi confirmed the one possibility under consideration is to update the Wii Remote to include the MotionPlus technology.

As to looking at whether or not it will be an attachment or built-in -- we're always looking at how hardware should evolve and where we should take it," Eguchi said. "Unfortunately, I don't have a definite direction to give you today, but it's something we'll be looking at."

Sure, all of the people who already own a Wii (and in case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of them) will still have to buy the add-on for any games that support it, but at least building it into the controller would help Nintendo keep its user base from getting too splintered. But Eguchi said that the company is considering limiting MotionPlus support to a select number of games. "[It] might be good to keep it as an attachment we only use for certain software."

Eguchi also stated that he doesn't believe MotionPlus is in some way an acknowledgment that the original Wii Remote isn't satisfactory. "Of course, you always want more, and as we were working on [Wii Sports Resort], we thought it would be nice to have more than what we had," he said. "But we're not dissatisfied with [the original Wii Sports] at all. We're very happy with what we did."
