Agreed. It's nice to see them improving on their product but why didn't the have this feature in the beginning? I would much rather see more third party games--good one mind you--instead of one more attachment.

I doubt it will be less than $50.

MotionPlus isn't a microphone.. that's WiiSpeak.

$50 just sounds like a decent number to me. Not that it's a good price. It's all speculation at this point. I'm really hoping they don't redo the wiimote all together. That would mean buying all new wiimotes, yikes.

Yes because encouraging the early evolution of entertainment and control is a bad thing. That makes sense. Yes, let's just hold this technology for the next system. Let's hold game development back by years just so we can help the consumer save money.

Yeah, like that would ever happen. Where have you been, what, the past 10 years? More? The entertainment industry is really about two things: Getting as much money as possible and pleasing the consumer. Sure, you've got those get-rich-quick companies who put out horribly and only strive for one of those goals. Nintendo, on the other hand, usually swings both ways.

With the MotionPlus, we get to experience and help to develop new technology today, rather than waiting until 2011 or 2012 to actually get a new experience. With the MotionPlus developed and ready for release this year, imagine the new possibilities and shift of focus for the next Nintendo Console. They've achieved 1:1 technology, which is sure as hell going to be in the new system, so now they can shift focus from the controller and perfect new technology rather than just dumping the MotionPlus technology into a Wii remote and saying their done.

It makes no sense that you'd prefer them to just not sell it and hold it off. It's better to get it out into the hands of more users, especially those of nongamers considering the huge amount of potential in that part of the market. Adding new ways to play will always draw in new gamers, thus improving the market for all of us.

No matter what, the MotionPlus is coming, like it or not. Get over it. Don't buy it. Don't support it. It's all YOUR choice, not mine. It'll never be my choice. Flame wars are useless. Only the weak give into another's opinion or continuously bash those of others. I like the idea of the MotionPlus and welcome more change into the gaming market. Maybe you don't. Oh well.

I was going to be polite. Ignore everything and just let it slide. But then I remembered...

Oh yeah. Then I remembered. I'm the one who helped build up the forums of Wiivo, suggesting a revolution on this tiny website. And then I remembered...damn, I'm Puff friggin' Daddy. So lend me your ears brothers and listen closely.

First, ThenOurFriendsSurrender, you emo punk. There is a reason we, and when I say 'we,' I'm talking the number one nation - the US of (&$*( A baby!, kicked your UK ass way back in 1776. You want to talk, come across the pond. We'll talk. And you'll get the same response out of me just like any other mofo - "Blow me."

Second, to address the issue, its stupid because there will be a lack of support for this. One, because Nintendo kept this motionplus a secret from third parties. So many third party developers did not know about this. Such as LucasArt, the developers behind many Star Wars games and I know how everyone wanted light saber duels with 1:1. Well, unfortunetly, LucasArt didn't know this so you won't be getting your Star Wars game with Motionplus compatibility. Instead it will have watered down motion control like current games. And if they do decide to go with the Motionplus, it will take a few years, oh maybe 3-4 years it normally takes to make a whole game. By then, its 2011 or 2012 - the very year that the retarded brit, ThenOurFriendsSurrender has sadly amitted to being the expected wii2 release year. So, you retards, keep reading because here comes the kicker. What is happening, not saying Nintendo meant for it, is that your wasting your money on an add-on to your Wiimote that will have a lack of support and when the support does come (assuming it does come and everyone doesn't jump shift to Wii2 by then), it will be several years down the line when the Wii 2 is coming out. Get it?

So what I am saying is what I said before. You are wasting your money. Wait for it. Nintendo should have just saved it for Wii2 in order to make the Wii2 look even more glorious and give all the nay-sayers another reason to cram it in their pie hole as well as save their dumb consumers, such as ThenOurFriendsSurrender and SuperTongue, some cash.

And finally, if I haven't said it already - BLOW ME.
