According to the NHL 2K10 Wii description on Amazon:
Enjoy online voice chat capabilities via WiiSpeak and precise one-to-one control with WiiMotion Plus
Two peripherals at once?? I think the Balance Board could be a fun thing to slap under your feet during a hockey match, too. Oh well .. no hat trick! HA! I kill me.
Anyway, has anyone played NHL 2K10 yet?

Japan’s already been reveling in all that is black and plastic ever since Nintendo introduced a black Wii and black peripherals in that market this past August (yes, it really is September already).
Now it’s our turn!
Well, it will be, just as soon as Nintendo delivers stock in time for the holiday season. We Yanks will be on the receiving end of a black Wiimote, black cover, black Wii MotionPlus, and black nunchuck. What we won’t receive, at least not yet, is a black Wii console. No pricing info was available, but it better not be more than the cost of a traditional white Wiimote.
Several of the Infendo staff this past week have been tinkering around with the recently released Japanese version of Wii Sports Resort. What are my impressions thus far? While others may be prematurely awarding Wii Sports Resort with game of the year 2009, it’s just not all that. I hate to be Johnny Raincloud, but after spending almost 10 hours with Resort I get the impression that Nintendo never finished the game. Motion Plus feels, dare I say it, tact-on.
Fellow staff writer Will Thompson and I have both found that the motion plus works well as long as you stay within your Mii’s area of movement. Swinging outside your Mii’s arm length in sword fighting will always upturn the virtual positioning of the motion plus. This issue could have been forgiven had the developers allowed the game to auto-recalibrate, but unfortunately you’re required to manually reposition your movement causing your Mii to be beaten severely as you finish tuning up the controls.
