Nintendo probably didn't include a Wii Remote Plus with Wii Party because Wii Party doesn't support Wii MotionPlus.


Japanese being practical? Well, I never thought i would ever see that!



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

@bmmb1, ah I didn't even know the bundle version was only available at select Walmart.  I went and bought it there very early Friday morning before anything else was open (except Walmart).  Crazy how Walmart has the bundle but no one else in USA.  I would assume Gamestop would at least have the bundled version.  I can see why you would say it wasn't available in USA bundled if only a few select Walmarts have it.

Poor Nintendo, torn between long-sightedness that pushes it to make the new WiiMote Plus as widespread as possible to deny PS Move any possible competitive advantage, and short-sighted stinginess that forces it to do anything possible to sell every remaining stock of old, poor, inaccurate WiiMotes... I wouldn't want to walk in its shoes!

Hah, all you need to make a Wiimote Plus is taking an ordinary Wiimote, transfer the 3D fairies fom the Moveball into it and you're done! There should be no stock issues! >_<

This is obviously not going to be a problem as Wii Party is going to sell mostly to ubercasuals like me. Us casuals have obviosuly already invested in 4 wiimotes to play Just Dance. Why there is even a wiimote wii party bundle is beyond me.
