Within the latest Iwata Asks column, it has been revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had been planned to originally incorporate traditional button controls.
Producer Eiji Aonuma explained that whilst director Hidemaro Fujibayashi had been experimenting with MotionPlus controls when production began, he had remained skeptical regarding their inclusion.

The development team then reverted back to pursuing MotionPlus controls, in the guise that you see today.
