Fantastic news, and another indication that Nintendo are going to be pretty aggressive with this. Three bundles over the space of a month or so, one with a first-party title that should appeal to a huge chunk of the userbase and two with third-party games that should pick up other sections of the audience.
Just waiting on a Ubisoft Red Steel 2 + MotionPlus announcement now... ;-)

Looks like Nintendo wants to make this thing standard.
I wouldn't be surprised if WM+ was supposed to be there originally, but something side tracked it.

So do we know if WM+ is going to release only after Wii Sports Resort, or will it be available before it?
Oh, Pay&Play confirmed in Tiger's WM+ box:

Ohhh DLC as well, looks like EA really have gone all out with this one. Day one for sure!
Oh, there's also a Disc Golf video.
I guess it was too obvious, so OK, I don't see any copycats! :lol
EDIT: Video added to previous entry.

Looks like the Tiger Woods N.A bundle is $60
http://www.gaming-age.com/news/2009/4/21-66
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 has an MSRP of $59.99 when bundled with the Wii MotionPlus. Both products, which ship to stores on June 15 on the Wii in North America, will be available for $49.99 without the accessory.

I hate that style of drawing. It always screams shovelware to me. I don't know how to describe it, but I know it was used for Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam's boxart for instance. It's used for a crapton of DS/Wii shovelware too. It has to do with the lighting, I think, what with all the white areas everywhere.
Why is it that on the Wii, everything including the boxart has to look cartoony/non-realistic to an extent?
Anyway, quite agressive move. It'd be shocking if WM+ failed to gain traction.
I find it very interesting that in the West, where the Wii is still doing incredibly well, Nintendo has secured some pretty significant support right out of the gate.
By contrast in Japan, where things aren't at all rosy, we don't even have a hint of any 3rd party games taking advantage of the tech.

Tiger bundle am sold.
I also don't like the somewhat goofy cartoon Tiger and the red isn't as bold. But then I saw the tennis cover and was happy enough.

Judging by the previous success of game bundled with an accessory (Wii Fit, Mario Kart, Link Crossbow Training), this will problably sell millions. Unless people decides to wait for Wii Sports Resort, which I'm sure some will do, but Tiger Woods is such a well-known brand. The previous versions also sold well anyway.

June 16 Release is perfect.
Comes out 2 days before the U.S. Open begins and British Open is 1 month to the day after release.

The good news is that Nintendo is being so aggressive about letting third party studios bundle this with their software. Now I wish High Voltage shoehorned some Motion Plus features into the Conduit so they'd have an excuse to bundle it with the game. Hopefully, M+ will become a standard very quickly.Kifimbo said:

UK pricing, although never confirmed by Nintendo, judging by the trade price they've just set will be;
MotionPlus dongle accessory - £19.99 SRP
WSR + MotionPlus - £49.99 SRP
Damn, at the begginning of Iwatas revolution we got some very keen pricing, recently thats all out the window - See Wii Console trade price rise, DSi steep launch price, AC:LGTTC and Wii Musics higher street prices and now I've heard Pokemon Platinum will be £34.99 SRP.
MotionPlus dongle accessory - £19.99 SRP
WSR + MotionPlus - £49.99 SRP

Damn! I was hoping to get the GST bundle . . . I don't like Golf.
boiled goose
good with gravy
nice to see bundles...
too bad GST isnt bundled in NA. That would be my preferred one besides WSR.
Now all nintendo needs to do is include on WM+ with the console and all new wiimotes...

Also, I wonder when/if theyre going to include it with the Wii console.
I can see the logic behind selling it separately from stand alone remotes... but they really should bundle it with the hardware,
$229 for Wii with wii motion plus remote this July?

So you are now saying the Wii will take a $30.00 price drop and come bundled with a $20 standalone accessory..
Uh no.

If I was in Nintendo's position, I would certainly be looking at:
- Bundling MotionPlus with all new remotes, perhaps upping the price by $5 or so if necessary;
- Releasing a Wii Play+ / Remote+ bundle with the Remote, MotionPlus and a set of minigames showcasing MotionPlus;
- Bundling MotionPlus with all new consoles. They could present it as adding value while maintaining their current price point.
