Is Activision Blizzard bringing motion control to the DS?

Tony Hawk’s Motion is sitting in the OFLC database as a newly rated Nintendo DS game. While this could be a vanilla Tony Hawk experience the “motion” part of the title is interesting. As tipster Raj points out (thanks!!) a few forum members on NeoGAF are speculating it could relate to a Wario Ware Twisted-like device. Actually, Nintendo already has a motion control adapter for the DS, the slide controller which was bundled in the Japan-only Slide Mag Kid. Activision wouldn’t even have to make an accessory in this case. Also the “motion” part of the name could just be shared branding with a Nintendo Wii Tony Hawk game that does include motion control.

Wasn’t the motion part of Slide Mag Kid just an optical mouse? Well, I guess it is motion control, but a different kinda than in Wario Ware Twisted. Oh well, they’ll probably force you to run forward constantly to keep your character in moving in Tony Hawk’s Motion.
