tuoyo said: I still think Nintendo have to bundle at least 2 with Wii Sports Resort. Multiplayer is going to be what will make this game great (and hopefully online but I wouldn't hold my breath) and it would be kind of crappy if you can't play against some other member of your household because the game came with only one M+.

 

The Wii only came with one remote, and that did not stop most people from buying a second one. 

Maybe we will get Wii play 2 with extra Wii Motion Plus for 19,99. It seems like something Nintendo would do. 

 

Wii Play Feedback. With games like Hold Broom, how many seconds can you last balancing it.

Nahh, think they will only release it with WSR, they don't want to segment the sales of WSR with another title. The add-on is going to be affordable, between 10-15 oranges.

The best way to be sure the WM+ add-on has a very high and very fast adoption rate is to bundle it (for free) with all the most important games using it, 1st party as well as 3rd party...

Wii owners have already spent $60 on each of their additionnal wiimote/nunchuck, so i don't think the idea of paying $20 more would be well accepted...

If we could have 1 to 4 WM+ add-ons easily while buying the most interesting games, most devs will then be ok to do way more WM+ compatible games in the future... otherwise, it will stay a (too) limited feature for a (too) limited audience, which would be a shame...

I agree.  I spent £45 on three extra nunchucks, £30 on two virtual controllers, £90 on three Wii remotes.  That's £165 on controllers, almost the price of the console itself.  Having to fork out on 3 extra Wii Remotes (in addition to the one with Wii Sports Resort) would mean my Wii controllers cost me much more than I paid for the console and much more than I paid for a Premium 360 with 2 games.  Not good and not right.  But Nintendo is Nintendo so I fully expect them to milk us as much as they can for the extra Motion Plusses.

 

Wait a moment, I think that High Voltage didn't confirm that they were using M+ in The Conduit, are they?

No confirmation, but they did state an interest in it. And unless WSR is coming out after June, it would be easy to implement.

The same support the Wiimote gets, I guess...

actually, this is a bad idea from a business standpoint. If you bundled the WM+ with more then 4 different games, there would be a decent chance of you giving these things away for free to people who are just going to toss them in the trash.

It would be better to offer to SKU's, with WM+ an extra $10m, compared to $15-20 standalone. However, then you introduce different issues and complications. Odds are you'll only need 2 for the first year anyways, so Wii Sports Resort and 1 extra WM+ isn't all that bad.
