Nintendo denies Wii MotionPlus delay, in stupidest way possible

On a technicality, Nintendo says Wii MotionPlus hasn't been delayed. But it's not listed for release either.

There's usually not much point in contacting Nintendo about rumors, since 95% of the time you'll get a "no comment" out of them. The 5% of the time you get a definite response, it's probably a sign that the rumor is so ridiculously false that Nintendo doesn't mind just coming out and saying so.

With that in mind, consider what a Nintendo rep told CVG regarding the Wii MotionPlus delay rumors:

"No date was ever announced for MotionPlus - so technically it can't be delayed."

Yes, that's really how Nintendo responded.

Tellingly, Nintendo's denial doesn't... actually claim Wii MotionPlus will be out on time, though, so there's no reason to believe Wii Sports Resort will, either. Now the question in the air is just how long the delay is going to be, or if Nintendo will announce anything about the issue at GDC or E3.

hey gamepro, you're delaying the good review articles about wii games, 'cause you're always crying that the graphics don't look good and blah blah blah

Then who said it was coming out with Punch Out...GAMEPRO! You fabricated all of this anyways.

Stupidest way possible would be to show a clip of Reggie trying to play that Jet-Ski game... oh man what a tool!!!

Better they delay it and get it right than to release it with an issue or two. Still, a funny, if not rather lame reply to the question.

I have that picture of Picard saved on my pc. It comes in handy during oh so many message boards.

no the STUPIDEST way would be to say "The Wii Motionplus is not delayed, it just won't arrive on time."

Does anybody have a date when this thing was supposed to be released? How can you guys be saying that the peripheral is delayed when no date has been given?
