My choices are:
- Mario Golf (the mainstream title here)
- First Person Legend of Zelda
- A lucasArts Star Wars game (Jedi Knight :P).
- Mario Tennis (yes, another mainstream title)
- Bushido Blade Wii (YaY! XP)
My choices are:
This is the first time since I got my Wii at launch that I have ever doubted Nintendo. I fully expected better motion control someday but that day was Wii 2.
This thing will have about as much penetration as the Zapper. I will be packed with a very small mini game. Think Crossbow Training, not Wii Sports. The only 3rd party games to use it will be like Wii Ski.
After that failure to produce enough balance boards for Wii Fit and the continued shortage of consoles this it what they are doing? Yikes. I hope they put this out early to get the bad news out of the way before something big at the presentation.
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.

Failure in the sense that you aren't happy.
Wiifit has sold 5.2 million and the Zapper 2.1 million.
Nintendo tries to make money.
One of the biggest points of the Wii for Nintendo was to avoid the "Razor" problem that MS and Sony face. (Give the razor to sell the blades.) The problem is the games aren't enough to recoup the losses. Another problem is that $5 off a third party game isn't that big of a deal when your losing $160 per console.
Nintendo sells a game with a peripheral to make money and be competitive.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

In the age of Wii Fit/Guitar Hero/Rock Band segmenting the market isn't as bad a deal as it used to be.
Segmented-markets seems to do fine, and as long as Nintendo gives similar expectations for Motion+, things whould be fine.
I am still hoping for something head tracking'ish for the Wii tomorrow...
Remember a month ago, when there were rumors of Nintendo making changes to the Wii, maybe this Motion-Plus will be packed in on the next Wii's. And for the people who already have a Wii, it will come with one game.
I strongly think it will be Wii Music. I just can't imagine playing Wii Music with the current control, but with this one is different. Also, if it is bundled with Wii Music, people will have to buy more of this things so the family can play together, with Zelda it's only necessary one of them.

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.

There will probably be a Wiimote 2.0 from now on and they'll sell this in a pack in or separate peripheral for addon to the controllers that don't have it. I think it'll now be a permanent upgrade.
Part of the WiiFit shortage in America is the fact that NoJ isn't making that much off the US version with the weak dollar. We still get consoles because Americans still buy a lot of games.
I'm starting to see the Wii Music correlation, but that pretty much means no. Whenever I try to guess what Nintendo will do at E3, they prove me utterly and completely wrong.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
I can see this as another WiiPlay title:
- standalone: $19.95
- Wii Motion + Punchout: $29.95
I doubt it will be more than $20, yet not less than $15.

Shams, think $50 w/ WiiMusic.
