Well the Wiimote could already do some of it. Certainly the snap to fit. The problem has always been the work into the motion simulation. WM+ makes it easier since you can now get more accurate relativity to motion.

Not sure if this will end up being in many games at all. Maybe it will be added as an option rather than required in games.

Very impressive.

There should be a lot less flailing and a lot more deliberate and accurate user input by implementing this.

From a design standpoint, I think this will be exactly what some developers were expecting/hoping from the platform.

It's essentially what I falsely thought Nintendo was providing when the Wii first rolled out, which has been my main source of disappointment with the platform.

I can't stress how much I feel motionplus should become standardized as a part of the default Wii platform.

Like it's been said already, it all depends upon the software and the creativity of the developers now.

oops !

I want Soulcalibur 5 on the Wii with Motion plus. It should be made a Wii exclusive because Xbox360 and PS3 are incapable of supporting 1:1 motion.

DMJ was still stating the obvious. That was what we were groaning about.

hmm....Lucasarts will pick the Wii as their main console now..sorry

Go back and read his comment, the "now" part is the part that doesn´t make sense, BTW is not been defensive is called common sense...

Looks like a definite upgrade, however I still question how many games this is actually going to be used in. Both Nintendo and Sega have a long history of trying to make add-ons that never caught on in the market place.

For instance it took me watching this 4 minute video plus quite a bit of Wii use to fully understand how exactly this product improves Wii gameplay, I can see this hitting the market and the average causal gamer wondering why they're selling an add-on that does exactly what the Wii mote already does.

So far Nintendo has had no problems selling peripherals for Wii.   Balance Board being the most outstanding example and that's seeing fantastic support - from RRR3 to Skate It and Shawn White Snowboarding amoungst others.  But also WiiWheel and Zapper have both seen terrific sales. 

Now all three are sold with games and very popular ones in the case of WiiWheel and Balance Board but so it M+ (with Wii Sports Resort).

It'll also be sold seperately from WSR so if you only want it for Red Steel 2 but not get WSR you can.

I also suspect it'll be optional for most games anyway.
