Gamers and developers alike have been salivating over the potential of the Wii Motion Plus accessory for some time. The device adds greater motion sensing capability to the Wiimote which will hopefully bring the console closer to true 1:1 motion sensing. High Voltage Software are currently developing The Conduit, an FPS title designed to appeal to the hardcore gamers the Wii has been accused of ignoring.

Initially the developer had said that the game would support the Wii Motion Plus, but they’ve now announced that this won’t be the case anymore. There were no problems with development associated with it as they reported that “Nintendo provided us with early hardware and good developer support,” according to High Voltage software VP and chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger. After some tests they discovered that the accessory didn’t improve the gameplay. As you might expect since the title is an FPS, the game is entirely based on ranged combat, which the Wii demonstrated it could handle from its launch with the Resident Evil 4 port and Red Steel.
