Nintendo totally gives the Nintendo hardcore fanbase the 5-fingers-in-the-face now this. "But, but, but this is for hardcore gamers." Then why is it being bundled with a casual game compilation?

Great, Nintendo charging an arm and leg for something that should have been integrated in the Wii-mote in the first place (as many were led to believe it was). And you know what's really sad is that casuals will eat this up too.

Does Nintendo want this to be standard or not? Charging so much for it is not going to help. And if adoption rate is not high you can forget about a lot of third parties incorporating it into their games.

"An arm and a leg"? I'd say that's pretty cheap, seeing as Wii Sports 1 alone in Japan cost $50. Consider that the 1:1 motion attachment would cost at least $20 alone, so you're only paying $30 (or less) for Wii Sports 2.

Also, if you're not excited at the prospect of another Wii Sports compilation, then you're probably a bitter shut-in who doesn't have any friends to play with.

Im more curious to see how much the adapters sell for by themselves. I'm not going to need 4 copies of Wii Sports resort, so they better make it as a separate device also

hey snap...have you ever thought of posting info about something other than Nintendo.

You're starting to smell like a troll.

did you even watch the conference? Reggie said that the MotionPlus would also be available for purchase seperately as well.

First off, no-one in America ever has the right to bitch about the price of anything related to electronics, it makes you sound like spoiled children in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Now, E3 is not actually over, we shall see soon enough if any mention is made of zelda/pikmin/kid icarus/whatever game(s) you care about.

Once again, $50 is cheap for a game, do some maths with exchange rates, much less a game and a controller add-on.

In a bundle with Wii Sports resort will not be the only way to buy the 1:1

This is for both casual and hardcore gamers, not just for you

You don't have a clue how the 1:1 will work, for all you know, the 1:1 will be compatible with all past and future wii games, regardless of whether the developer wants it to be or not. Only those high up in Nintendo know this as of now.

Even ignoring all of that, adoption rates will be huge
Look at Wii Play
Look at Wii Fit

That and Wii motion plus will be sold seperately as well.

I will gladly pay $50 for a game and this miracle cure for the Wiimote.

As turned off as I was by Nintendo's E3 performance, I will gladly purchase this bundle. 1:1 motion is a big deal, to me. It should've been standard with the Wii in 2006, but the tech wasn't ready yet. It's here now, and I can't wait to give it a try!

The attachment on its own is probably $30, as is the WiiSpeak by itself, so the game is only $20. Granted, Wii Play was only $10 when you removed the Wiimote.

Personally, I think it should be no more than $30 for the whole thing.

@Garcian Smith - we may be "bitter shut-in" as you put it, but at least we don't pay full price for tech demos.

Wii Sports = $0-$10
Wii Play = $10
Wii Fit = $0-$10
Link's Crossbow Training = $0-$10

and now Wii Sports Resort (with a wonderful Frisbee game) = $20-30? F-THAT!

PS - A bitter shut-in I am definitely not. A person who doesn't waste money, I am. I bet you bought carnival games.
