Rumors, rumors

Is Microsoft developing a motion-sensitive controller similar to Nintendo’s Wiimote? The project, supposedly codenamed “Newton”, has been making the rounds but Microsoft Game Studios head Shane Kim sort of put down the rumors, though he stopped short of a full denial.
Meanwhile, Yu Suzuki’s masterly Shenmue series is supposed to be up for a Nintendo Wii port, after a bunch of Sega classics like Nights and House of the Dead were re-released by Sega. It won’t be a remake, just the same game with a few additional Wiimote minigames.
