During today's excessively attended press conference, Nintendo revealed that the Wii's nunchaku attachment does in fact have its own motion-sensitive device inside. This feature was showcased during a game of Red Steel, Ubisoft's exclusive first-person shooter that mixes guns with swordplay. Using one hand to swing and another to parry, gamers can initiate their own blade-on-blade action. This feature has been rumored for some time.
Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing, also made it a point to say that there are still questions the company is deliberately not answering about Wii - those answers will be delivered later this year, likely close to the Tokyo Game Show.
