Will Motion+ go the way of the Balance Board, Wii Speak?

Alright how is Wii Motion Plus not being used in Wii Fit Plus or New Super Mario Bros Wii (a game that is played NES style and I'm certain the extra inch would get in the way) is it really that big of deal?

You're making a bigger fuss then need be honestly >_> hell I'd be happy for SMG2 to use it but the extent of motion controls in SMG was using the remote as a joystick to control Mario on the ball, and it is rated one of the highest games of all time. Seriously games that need motion plus will certainly use it, the ones that don't wont.

Give me one example of how NSMBW or SMG2 could use WM+ in a practical way that doesn't feel tacked on that will enhance the platforming gameplay.

I would list Wii Fit Plus in there too but that's a game that's using the unsupported balance board *rolls eyes*

I didn't ask for it to be used in games it shouldn't be used. Clearly Wii Fit+ will use the Balance Board and will be the second Wii game ever made by that can be controlled by the use of the Balance Board alone. And it's an expansion, it's just Wii Fit with some new activities, that's why it's only 20 bucks.

I also said before classic controller games or analog + buttons shouldn't require M+, because they don't even use the motion sensing capabilities of the WiiMote other than for waggle purposes, that can easily be replaced by 1 button.

The fuss I'm making is that there are no games in the near to far future that are going to use it. So it's starting to look like it will go the same way the other peripherals went, with only 1 game at launch and then the random game that supports it partially that comes 1 year later. This is not supposed to be like that, it's a new WiiMote, it's a better experience. Games like Metroid Other M, Takt of Magic, Punch-Out, Line Attack Heros could have used it. They rushed this too fast like a counter measurement for the Sony and MS controllers and it looks like it's only purpose was that.

Why do they release peripherals they won't support for more than 1 year? Then again this is not just anoither peripheral, it's a better WiiMote. I would be clamouring for games to support it if I were you instead of inciting devs to laziness.

Uhm people whine about the Wii series and Nintendo going too casual, people whine about Nintendo not releasing their main series for the "core" crowd.

They make traditional games that don't really need motion plus and then you whine about Nintendo not supporting their peripheral... seriously dude there's some give and take here FFS.  You're wanting them to what release 5 new games at once to use Wii Motion plus or something?  Hell there's already 3 games that use it and will be more by the end of the year...

Who cares if a majority of support for the peripherals are third party? and Nintendo uses what needs to be used in their upcoming titles?
