Wired's Chris Kohler on the Wii Motion Plus (a hands on from someone who knows video games and disagrees with the source cited in the OP).

LOS ANGELES -- Just a quick note on Wii Sports Resort.

I might be poking fun at Wii Music for being "challenge-free," but the opposite is true of Wii Sports Resort. The included Wii MotionPlus controller registers every little movement of your arm. Every one. So throwing a Frisbee? It's not about just flicking your wrist any old direction. You've got to keep your arm steady, and stop your throw exactly correctly. Or else your Frisbee is going to go all over the place, and your little dog can't catch it, and he gets mad at you, and there is nothing more demoralizing during a Nintendo game demo.

And you can't even shoot him like in Duck Hunt.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
