All I know is that I’ll definitely be purchasing Wii Sports Resort. And hey, if Tiger is really good, then maybe I’ll get it, to get a second Wii Motion Plus (that way), instead of buying one on the side.

As if any game worth playing will utilize the Motionplus!

I think this is some great technology that could see alot of use for increasing the feeling of interactivity in games. Unfortunately, I also think that Wii Motion Plus will be relegated to a minority of games, the way the Nunchuck is now. I’m in possession of 4 Remotes, but only 2 Nunchuks, and I haven’t run across anything that I’ve needed more than that to play.

I just hope we won’t be required to unplug the Wii Motion Plus when we play games that don’t use it the way we have to do Nunchucks.

Thanks for the mention about my comment in #4cr, I’ve been loving the IRC channel so far. More people should check it out, it’s been a really good place to have intelligent conversation since I started idling there, a real rarity on IRC.

I think this device will be either a huge success, or a serious wake-up call to Nintendo that the casual market is not sustainable.

I’m betting on the latter.

Now donâ€™t get me wrong Iâ€™ve got nothing against Nintendo; Nintendo consoles and games are an integral part of gaming history, the problem I have with the Wii is that itâ€™s so cute and gimmicky that it will never be used for more â€œseriousâ€ gaming, itâ€™s a great console if youâ€™re six or sixty

I’m not really sure how someone buying a controller 2 years ago means the complete version of the controller isn’t “$80″.

Regardless, I just got a Wii a week ago. I bought a second remote and nunchuck. I, like many people, am very likely to get enough for four players because, frankly, I don’t have a ton of friends who bring remotes with them everywhere. If I wanted to use this, would I need 4 of them? Not right away, but maybe eventually.

It is a lot of money and it adds up quickly.

I’m looking forward to it, I just wish Wii Sports Resort was coming out at the same time as the accessory. I want the golf and tennis games and will want to play two-player tennis, but if I get two MotionPlus addons the one that comes with WSR will be redundant since I only have two Wiimotes.

I’ll just have to stick with single-player tennis for a few weeks…
