Old Wii games probably won’t get MotionPlus support

Nintendo’s latest controller addon, the Wii MotionPlus, is quickly approaching its June release date. Other than a handful of titles, there aren’t many games announced that would support the new addon. So, it would only make sense to release updates for old games adding support, right?
If it’s up to Nintendo, which it is, this won’t be happening anytime soon. After GameDaily speculated that previously released games would be gaining MotionPlus support in the future, Nintendo responded with the following statement:
The Wii MotionPlus accessory is only for games that are designed to make use of its abilities
While they didn’t actually say that it won’t be happening, they sure did hint at it.
