@Whoever says that it should have been included at launch: They wanted to. The price of the gyros is only now coming down to a consumer-friendly level. You complaining about an "$80 controller" now? It probably would've been $120 at the launch of the Wii.

Are you kidding? Regardless of reason, $80 is too much.

but it isn't $80 for a controller, it is $40.

Honestly I've only ever used 2 nunchucks at a time, and I'm sorry I bought 3. I've used 4 Wii remotes for Mario Party and Mario Kart, but that is it.

I don't expect to buy a WM+ either for quite some time as there is nothing on my list of must haves that uses WM+.

I am displeased with all Nintendo pricing. Had to but the WII for the kids $250.00 what a rip compared to what I could get for the 360. Games never seem to go down in price either



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

For this statement, I refer you to the first line of your own signature.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

You don't have to buy it, though. You're saying there's no way to justify an $80 controller? Regardless of the technology used inside of it? That doesn't make any sense.

Of course I don't have to buy it, but I want it to fix one of my main complaints on the Wii.

And the reason why $80 is too expensive is the same reason why $400 is too expensive for a game console. The PS3 is worth it with the techonology but that is still too much money.

@ nordlead

But my favorite game require a nunchuck. And I'm interested to see what WM+ adds to Wii games. So, in order to get that experience I need to spend $80 so one person can play.

I don't plan on buying it unless they announce a star wars game with WM+
And we all know that will happen.

$20 is better than 30. They said that will be the price. IGN lied to me!

Yes, if everyone must play Grand Slam Tennis with WM+ you'll have to shell out $80/person which would suck. However, most people will probably only have 1-2 WM+, 1-2 Nunchucks, and 4 Wii Remotes. Not to bad compared to previous generations honestly.

Take the N64 for example. I think the controllers were $40, rumble pack $20, and memory cards were $20. We had 1 of each for everyone, so that came out to $80 too

That's nothing new, remember "Kid Icarus will be announced at E3 '08 for sure"?
