Then just buy a separate one when a game comes along you want it with. Duh.

@rupsuperstar31: Red Steel may be bundled and that's looking quite good so far

Don't know about Wii Speak - it's not essential. WM+ is a different story, it's the evolution of Wii's core technology. To push it and make 3rd parties really support it, they really should bundle it or replace the current Wiimote with Wiimote+. Big mistake that they don't, if you ask me.

It is simple, Wii is selling well on it's own

WM+ will be bundled with games including 3rd parties. This bundle will HELP sell games, which Nintendo needs otherwise 3rd parties will dissapear of the Wii with good games.

IMHO this is the better solution for Nintendo to get game sales up.

Bundling might be the most effective in Japan though, since it can keep those fickle consumers aware of that new feature.

Red Steel 2 would be a good idea for a bundle.

WiiSpeak is going to end up as a rarely used, useless sort of peripheral. It sounds like it's a PITA to implement (according to HVS), those who use it are bound to strict implementation policies (FCs required to hear/speak with others), and the coop/competitive games that voice chat is important for are rare on the Wii.

Going to be interesting to see how third parties approach WM+ though.
