It may have been intended as such, but let's not hand Nintendo the victory just yet.

Wait until they've announced their game lineup, then hand them the victory.

I think this will be really fun for whatever they decide to use it in, but don't blow this out of proportion. They aren't going to make this the new Wiimote, and they aren't going to support this in every game. They are going to package it with a game, and then have future games support it or not. It's not the replacement to the Wiimote, but a new way to use it for some games.

We don't know that yet, it could work with existing games too if, as a previous post has suggested, it will work with existing coding. We'll just have to wait and see.

You know that you can buy every Wii peripheral avalaible for the same price you pay for a xbox 360 live wireless headset, and much less than a 20 Gb HD or a wireless network adapter.

How this will be received will depend on a few things ...

How well it works; if it doesn't make a (noticeable) difference in the games that use it there will be little or no value for most consumers. With that said, the #1 complaint I have constantly seen on this site from HD fans bashing the Wii (beyond graphics) is that it doesn't have 1 to 1 controlls; if this is implemented well and interesting games use it people will really like it.

If they incorporate it into new Wiimotes ... If they're releasing this add-on so that people who currently own a Wiimote don't have to buy entirely new Wiimotes (and every new Wiimote includes this after a certain date) this could be a seemless addition.

How they sell the WiiNubbin ... if you buy a game with 4 WiiNubbin's for $60 it will (probably) be low enough cost that many/most Wii owners don't feel ripped off.

You don't think the Wii has a good software library?  I respect that people have their own opinions on what games they do and do not like but you should also realize what is a good game and what isn't even if you don't like the game.

i cant wait to see what games will use this

I think Nintendo is releasing this in response to the rumored motion controllers from Sony and Microsoft. They don't want to be out done if their motion controlls promise even more precision than the Wii-motes.

If you didn't know the Wii is NOT capable of knowing the absolute position of the Wii-mote, it only can know the relative position of it (unless when using the IR pointer). That is why we haven't had any 1:1 motion control games on the Wii.

I really dislike add-ons and I assume so does the general consumer. Nintendo ought to sell this for NO more than 10 bucks for not having this precision in the wii-mote in the first place. But I doubt that will happen.

This does bring up some interesting questions such as what games specifically will be using it, will it become standard, will be a pack-in with some games (Zelda maybe?), and what will be the cost?

whatever game this comes with will be the 4th highest-selling game this gen (wii sports, wii play, wii fit, this game)

Okay, aside from stealing the thunder from competiton's possible announcement of their wii-too-motes, the only way this thing could be effective in changing the market would involve Nintendo giving them away to existing wiimote users, with a few possible conditions for exception.

There's also the problem of this working with existing peripherals such as WiiWhell from Mario Kart or other peripherals.

As so many have put it before when discussing about additional peripherals for rival consoles, there's a question of adaption rate of a peripheral.

So, the exception that rule would be one, this peripheral is somewhat obtainable to existing Wii-owners at a relative cheap price, if not outright free. An exception to that is if the the peripheral is simply there to accommodate to the speed of the motion, aka. patching the lag time of the wiimote.

Two, the addon capabilities of this will be optional, or in that it will simply become an optional/additional control schemes separate from the normal wiimote movement. This could lead to low-adaption of this new peripheral in games, though, except with those games that people want to see 1:1, maybe a Light saber game.

I am sure there are more, so please feel free to add your thoughts.

In the end, I eagerly await Nintendo's E3 conference before putting my final thoughts on this whole thing.
