I was/am pretty excited about WiiFit, if slightly disappointed that Europe ran dry to launch under a million in the US. It was something new a step beyond the Wiimote or a least a step sideways.
This motion plus thing is just as bad as Sony or MS releasing a motion sensing knock-off. 2006 version 1.2. Boring.
The Wiimote hasn't been fully realized yet. Yes there were some games that couldn't be done, but I am sure there is a millon more tha wont work with this. It is not head tracking, or a video cam, body suit, anti-grav popcorn maker. This is something I expect a few nerds to hack together on the homebrew channel.
Nintendo is winning this generation, winning casuals, and rewinning my support based on being different. This is just a mild improvement off an existing idea. A ripoff is a ripoff even if you are copying yourself.
Like I say I could be wrong since we haven't heard the whole presentation yet, but a revolutionary new IP that showed a new way to use the Wiimote would have been better. It could have been casual, core, or none of the above but when a system is so loaded with possibility and moving to midlife stride it doesn't need more possibility.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
