Meh, 20 bucks is no big deal. I have a feeling they're going to start incorporating Motion+ into Wiimotes soon.

That would be a nice touch.

 

I fully expect this holiday season to see a new Wii SKU that incorporates the WM+ into the remote and bundles the system with Wii Sports Resort.  I then expect to see the original Wii Sports go on sale separately for like $20.

 

And then if they did that, there wouldn't really be a problem.  Put it in new ones cheaply, and allow owners of the current model to upgrade cheaply instead of having to rebuy controllers.



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

I'm not upset because Nintendo couldn't offer it before now, at least not at a reasonable price tag. Gryos were just too expensive and by now the Wii has a big enough userbase Nintendo can order such vast bulk of them that it makes it much more cost effective. It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo was making zero profit off of them at $20. But it wouldn't surprise me if they were either.

I'm really looking forward to the WM+.  I can't wait to try Tiger Woods and Grad Slam Tennis and I'm salivating over future ppossibilities.  I could care less about Wii Sports Resort, but to each his own I guess.  What puzzles me is why more people aren't a little pissed at Nintendo for taking this long to finally make the Wii remote do what they said it was going to do out of the box.  Then...they have the audacity to charge you for it as well.  IMO, every Wii owner should get a coupon for 1 free WM+ or at least for a discount.  Kinda like the digital converter boxes for TV.

Because the Wii never promised anything. It only informed what it was capable of. People hyped themselves up and for the most part it's not even the Wiiremote fault. Most of the fault is that developers aren't used to the idea and don't see much outside of a simple binary check(velocity > X = waggle). The truth while some games will be much better, Golf, bowling more precisie screen interaction a majority of games won't get any benifit at all. That's not because of a hardware problme, but because the developers won't due much. Development is still mostly a control pad is king.

I have personally used the Wiiremote for games like Beyond Good & Evil, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Assasins Creed. I some cases I needed to do some serious scripting with GlovePie. The result is that I've never had problems playing these games with the Wiiremote. I however have had limitations with GlovePie. For example Assasins Creed. GlovePie can't store a variable between loops. So rather than being able to code a state change with the digipad, I needed to everysingle button.

So I am uspet, at slacker console developers who can't think outside of 0|1

 



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I'm pretty pissed off that I can't cruise to work with a jetpack. And they promised that back in the 50s!

Your first two sentences explain my reasoning for not having the time or effort for being upset. It's gonna be a whole lotta fun.

In fact, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will be my first non-Nintendo sports title since NFL Blitz 2000 on the N64. Awesome.

I just don't care about it period.

None of the games I want use it as far as I know. Until something is announced I want that uses it then I will pick it up.



There's too many people already who get 'upset' or 'angry' at perfectly reasonable things.

Don't go encouraging them.



     I'm not sure why I'd be upset. It's added functionality (that they didn't actually claim it had in the beginning) that will add the my Wii gaming experience. I do personally think it should be half the price they decided on, but I'm not that bothered by it.

I'm pissed off that Nintendo didn't give me the choice to pay £100(?) for a 1:1 wiimote at release. I'd have preffered to pay the premium then instead of a cheaper version today if supported.

Why aren't 360 and PS3 owners more upset that most games aren't true HD and hardly any are true 1080p? Maybe it's because most of what's been delivered so far has been more than acceptable.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

The tech for the Motion+ was too big at that time. I mean physically big. Nintendo stated that shortly after + was announced. The gyros they are using were originally designed to keep cars stabilized.
