Fairly certain I predicted something similar to this would happen in this thread.

BrainBoxLtd said: Ask yourself, why did Nintendo create the balance board, when their already established Wii remote is doing so well in sucking in the expanded audience? Because the remote wasn't enough. Look at the Japanese hardware numbers, the board isn't enough either. Before this generation comes to a close you'll probably see at least one new significant add-on for the Wii with another Nintendo game spear-heading to further their market expansion. |
I doubt it will end with this either and this is more building on what they've already established.
Nintendo knows they can't just coax on their name and current success. They're going to continue trying to disrupt even their own ideas to further expand their audience, maintain interest from their current customers, and to keep the competition one step behind.
I'm certain this MotionPlus add-on will be packed with a game, as they obviously wouldn't announce it unless they had something to demonstrate it with. My guess is WiiMusic. It's something that's largely been un-talked about for quite some time, music is something everyone can relate to unlike a specfic title like Zelda, and it could be a good way to demo to customers how this add-on can improve their experience. I wouldn't be surprised if they got this thing out by the holiday season as it's small addition to remote, where as the balance board was an entirely new device all together.
Exactly how and how well this things works, I guess we'll see later today.
