if they are trying to lock in Wii Motion Plus as standard for WiiU I guess it could be a pack-in to make sure people are not using the old ones... I still only have my original wiimote

I don't understand how (or why) non-WM+ controllers wouldn't work. Would there be any reason for Nintendo to do this?

The only reason I can think of is that Nintendo wishes to make Wii Remote+ the new standard.
That's unfortunate chap.
I was pretty lucky in this regard in that I bought my receiver in 2010 and all the receivers had HDMI inputs (even the lower end ones), but I agree that Nintendo should have an optical out. Perhaps they'll release a special type of cable like Mircosoft did for the 360, or maybe a third party manufacturer might.
Yes. But, I think that they were WiimotePlus controllers.
Question to anyone that already had experience playing NSMB-U on the Wii U (E3 or Tours), did you notice if the Wiimotes you held were [Wiimotes] or [WiimotesPlus]?

Mostly for rechargeable controllers from Nintendo themselves. Or has the battery issue been solved already?

It has been confirmed a while ago that Wii U games, which require the Wii controllers, will have to be equipped with Motion+. If you want to simply browse the Wii U or play a backwards compatible Wii game, you just need the Wii controller, Motion+ or not.
I think the question goes more for the...
Are Wii U games, that support Wiimote usage (like NSMBU), compatible with Wiimote (normal one) and/or with WiimotePlus? Does games like NSMBU are compatible with the normal Wiimote?
I don't remember hearing this. Do you have a link? There are just some games in which Motion+ is not necessary so that's pretty lame if true.

That's the thing, it says "(or Motion Plus)" in parentheses, as if it were secondary. It seems absolutely silly for a game like NSMBU to require a Motion+ when it isn't necessary. Besides, I'm to the point where I do not trust "representatives" as that seems to be a very broad term, and they are often wrong.
*drool* That might have to be a purchase for me.
i'm the asshole.

The part about not being able to use older wiimote controllers is wrong. (http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu#/tech-specs) Nintendo's own site says you can.

Lesson of the day: Never trust the word of a Nintendo rep.
Nintendo rep: This is Nintendo's next home console, the Wii.
Gamer: It's actually called the Wii U.
Nintendo rep: No sir, you are mistaken. It's just Wii.
Gamer: But Nintendo said...
Nintendo rep: Sir, why would Nintendo call a game console Wii U ?That's just stupid to have an extra letter there. It doesn't make any sense.
Gamer: But the logo is right there on the controller. There's even a sign behind you that says it too.
Nintendo rep: Sir, I think I would know what product I am showing off. Nintendo did hire me because of my expertise.
Gamer: Whatever.
Nintendo rep: Anyway, the Wii is now HD.

Yup. It says that, however I think it means that the Wii U, as a system, is compatible with those controllers, so you can still play your Wii games normaly. But, it doesn't state anything about the games, which surely will be stated on the games' boxes, on the backside.
For example, Pikmin 3 is only compatible with WiimotePlus (or MotionPlus) but not with the Wiimote (without MotionPlus).
I'm sure that future games, the Wii U games will only be compatible with the WiimotePlus. Just a guess.

Day 1!
New Super Mario Brothers U will be available at launch, right?
I'm especially excited about indie games via the eshop. I need me
some tower defense games that would go great with the pad!
Oh and Minecraft thanks!

I'm in for NPD and Sales Age
Oh Lawdy my entire outlook on life has now changed!! I do apologize and I might be needing to pick up some Motion+ attachments.

I still find it very peculiar that Nintendo has it written like that on their website, and that it would be necessary in games which allow you to hold the controller sideways NES style, but it looks like we have more confirmation of Motion+ being necessary than we have of it not... so... Damn.
Edit: You are all allowed exactly 1 "I told you so".
Hahaha. Sad side of the story... is that everything is true xD.

From today's conversations with a Nintendo rep, Pikmin 3 is not a launch game. Their focus is on Nintendoland, New SMB U, Ninja Gaiden 3, and hopefully Lego City (could slip). All will be revealed on Sept 13 but if I had to guess, Pikmin 3 may be a spring title. This gels with current marketing showing up in stores - no sign of Pikmin 3.
Did they hire Mr.Caffeine or something?

Bah, of course this was how it was going to go down. Given the choice between the massively selling NSMB and a Wii Sports like franchise at launch, or a series that hadn't had an instalment in 8 years, which would you pick?
