Yes. You can use either the Wii Motion Plus accessory that attaches to the bottom of the normal Wiimote, or you can buy the newer Wii Motion Plus wiimotes. Either way, you need it to play the game.
Sadly you cannot play it without the wii Motion. If you got the bundle edition (game+symphony cd + gold remote) then you are good to go. If you got just the game, you can buy a wii remote + (which is the wii remote with the wii motion) or the wii motion plus addon.
I believe the former is cheaper and better. I suggest you get the wii motion because Skyward Sword is a masterpiece (it is a phenomenal game).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
