Gaming Motion Plus supported games

toguro_max · Jul 15, 2009

Nihao all.

Well, Wii Motion Plus is out and all, and games are starting to arise from the depths, sooo... I think it's time we start a list of supported games, before it's too late!
Here's the deal: I'll create a list, not fancy or anything, so we can end the "Does the game xxx needs Motion+?" questions, and to keep a track of'em.
So, here we go, because this is...

<div align='center'>The Wii Motion Plus Compatibility List</div>

Basically, I'll follow the the following (?) criteria:
Compatible games will be classified on two classes (the support class):<ul><li>The ones that need it (mandatory);</li><li>The ones that can be played with it.</li></ul>The ones that can be played with will be divided on two sub-classes:<ul><li>The optional games;</li><li>And the required ones.</li></ul>They are to be understood like this:<ul><li>Optional: These are the games that you can play without the Motion+, but the gameplay gets really improved with it or some kind of function is added. Example: Virtua Tennis 2009;</li><li>Required: These are the games that although you can play without the Motion+, they are just not enjoyable at all without it. Example: Grand Slam Tennis;</li><li>Mandatory: These are the games that you cannot play withou the Motion+ at all. Example: Wii Sports Resort.</li></ul>There will be also the Pending class, that will be for games I do not have enough info about.

This list will be feeded by mainly 3 sources:<ul><li>Users feedback;</li><li>Game covers;</li><li>Reviews.</li></ul>It will also only feature released games (yeah, dumped ones) so it will be a little easier to follow.
I'll try to add the game genre and try keep it as simple and intuitive possible. By this, I mean I'll "classify" a "tennis" game as "tennis", not "sports".
Also, I will try adding the regions the games were released.

Any suggestions, please say so.
I'd like only to ask one little favor: Try to keep this topic clean.

-= Special notes =-
Just some notes, to make it clear:<ol type='1'><li>There is no specific / special IOS / mIOS / cIOS needed to use the Motion+ add-on;</li><li>Please, attention: it's said that the Motion plus does not work with 3rd party accessories (like Nyko Wand), so if you use one of these and the Motion+ is not working the way it should (or at all), this must be the reason;</li><li>You do not need to update anything to use the Wii Motion Plus. It may be necessary to play the game that uses it, but it's not a concern with the Motion+ itself;</li><li> The Wii Motion Plus, just like any other accessory, is region free. You do not need to worry if you've bought an japanese WM+ and your console is american (and vice-versa or any other combination);</li><li> There is no incompatibility with the WM+ and hardmodded Wiis, at any circunstancies;</li><li> The Motion+ is not backward compatible. This means it won't increase older games' sensibility (sorry Samba de Amigo, it wasn't this time...).</li></ol>Now, take a seat and enjoy the show (aka to the list);

By the way, I had to make an "tricky" stuff to get the table aligned and to be able to use colors, so bear with me. If you know any better way to do it, please tell me!

Edit no. 01: Made a little change on the Required description. I hope it's clearer now. (yeah, maybe it's confusing people...)
Edit no. 02: Added a small info regarding the IOS issue.
Edit no. 03: Following the suggestions, I spent about 4 hours trying to understand the wiki stuff and created a wiki page. But I'll mainly update here.
Edit no. 04: Since someone tried so hard to warn everyone, I added a note about the compatibility between the Motion+ and 3rd parties accessories.
Edit no. 05: Added a note about not needing to upgrade to use the WM+, and organized (a little) a notes section.
Edit no. 06: Added two notes about the compatibility of the WM+ with different regions and /or hardmodded consoles.
Edit no. 07: Added a not about backward compatibility (or lack of) and made some corrections.
Edit no. 08: Changed "Cruise Ship Vacation Games" support status from Pending to Optional. Thanks markehmus.
Edit no. 09: Changed "NHL 2K10" support status from Mandatory to Optional. Thanks T1nmaN. I thought is was Mandatory because there is a bundle of it. My bad >-p
Edit no. 10: Added a WiiWare section.
Edit no. 11: Removed a duplicated "Nihon Yakyuu Kikou Shounin Batting Revolution" entry.
Edit no. 12: Added Shaun White's Snowboarding World Stage, Spongebobs Truth or Squared and Ghost Slayer. Thanks resincake!

I would say "Optional" and "Required" are very subjective. That`s why I would summarize those two.

Otherwise really great idea and it will come in handy in the future...

toguro_max · Jul 15, 2009

You know, I also share the same thought as you, but I believe that creating this "branch" will spam less questions, like "I don't have the Motion+, can I play it well or the gameplay sucks?".
It is indeed subjective, but i had to express myself in some way about the Grand Slam Tennis' gameplay without the Motion+. >-p
But maybe you're right, I may remove it if thigs gets too confusing...

Btw, thanks for your input

I agree. They are both very alike.
Nice idea for a list though, it's very handy!

And could u maybe say which IOS the Wii Motion + use?
So people can search that IOS and install that IOS on their Wii to use Wii Motion +.

I'd love to if I had the knowledge to do so, but I don't...
Maybe another user can contribute with this piece of information.

it doesnt use one. its just like the nunchuck or classic controller or guitar hero guitar. support is built into the games. get a clue!

Fakie! · Jul 15, 2009

I think there's a lot of people who won't agree with you on that GST is "just not enjoyable at all" while using M+. Personally, I'd like a more objective list.

No no, I think you might have misunderstood him. He meant that GST is not enjoyable without WM+

Umm yeah, read that too fast

, sorry.

No special IOS required for M+.

Okay, I see it's added now to the first post.
Now we just wait for some Motion Plus supported games to be dumped

Hadrian · Jul 16, 2009

There were supposed to have been a few M+ games released by shit peddler DDI a few weeks back, not sure if they were released or not, their games dont tend to get dumped stright away.l

Kidz Sports - Crazy Mini Golf (motion Plus version)

It can be played without it but no one should play it period.

Also Virtua Tennis 2009 should be required, that game isn't fun without it.

toguro_max · Jul 16, 2009

Ok, I've made a little researchand found out that the original Kidz Sports - Crazy Mini Golf version were released on last year's December 9th (#1078), and that the new version (with Motion+ support) were just recently released (on EU, i believe)... I'll wait a little to add this one to the list (maybe I'll create a "not dumped" branch or something).

About the Vitua Tennis 2009, it was just a personnal opnion of mine, so since you said it should be Required instead of Optional, it makes a 1 x 1. If another person says the same (that it should be Required) I'll change it on the list (or just remove the whole Required x Optional stuff. Try to understand, my intention is just to "separate" the games even if you can play without the Motion+, there are some that were cleary designed with the accessory in mind, like Gran Slam Tennis, and others that it is optional, like Vitua Tennis).

That's it for now, thank you all for your inputs.

Great idea to make this, but I would definetly make a Wiki...!!

+1 to that.

toguro_max · Jul 16, 2009

Is it worthy to create a wiki with just 4 entries?
Besides, I've never, ever, created a wiki (or have fought about it)... But yes, really, this is a good idea... I'll try to find time to research about this wiki stuff...

ether2802 · Jul 31, 2009

.....ehh *BUMP*.......and yes it is worth, maybe now they are only 4 games, but I don't think "N" will makes us buy this thingy ffor 25 bucks just to play these 4 games....!!

X D D X · Jul 31, 2009

EA's new Hockey games are supposed to use Motion+. NHL 2K10 it's called i believe.

EDIT: Also the Avatar game supports Motion+ but it's not necessary to use it.

toguro_max · Aug 1, 2009

Ok, wiki created (some time ago, actually).
The new EA's hockey games are not released yet, that's why they are not on the list.
Wich avatar game is compatible with the WM+? Since all of'em (the 3 ones) were released quite some time before the WM+ it would amaze me is any of'em is compatible (in a way that it improves gameplay).

Also, Hadrian, the Kidz Sports - Crazy Mini Golf (motion Plus version) will be released next month, so I'll wait to see wheather it will or won't be dumped before creating a "non-dumped branch", as I mentioned before.

Just to make this post worth, here is some upcoming games to support the WM+:
Red Steel 2
Kidz Sports - Crazy Mini Golf (motion Plus version)
Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked
Academy of Champions
Span Smasher
Gladiator A.D.
The Grinder
James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
NHL 2K10

[Edit]: Added the two last games.

X D D X · Aug 1, 2009

Where did you find out The Grinder and Gladiator AD are using Motion+?
Also, sorry for being unclear. The upcoming Avatar game (Based on the movie i believe) will support Motion+ and NHL 2K10 wii also use Motion+. You can add these 2 to the Upcoming games list.
