Agreed. Doesn't the remote itself cost $20? This is such BS milking but I guess Nintendo hasn't made enough money from the Wii yet. *rolls eyes*donny2112 said:$20 is too much, in my opinion. $10 would've been perfect. Hopefully they integrate this into a new Wiimote and either keep the price at $40 or raise it to $50. I'll be buying Wii Sports Resort, but for another Motion+ attachment, I'll be looking at picking up a game I want that includes it for $10 more. In fact, that's probably why Nintendo priced the peripheral at $20. They want buyers to purchase more Motion+ attachments by purchasing a game that uses it. Reward the third-parties and encourage them to make more games that work with the attachment.

A $20 thingamajig getting support from the start is better than the Zapper or Board.
I wonder if some of the more hardcore things will be on WiiWare this year. You can afford to cater to the M+ exclusively and we can get some interesting stuff there.

Okay, so just for the record, can you guys answer my quick questions?
1. In the US, what games is this being bundled with, and what ones that are not, that support the M+ ?
2. I see it is packaged with a Wii Remote condom. It can be removed from this, right? Do the bundles (Resort) come with the condom or just the M+ if they are not fused?
3. Do these bundled games (except Wii Sports Resort, which I know is $49.99) cost extra with the M+?
I think that about does it. I can seem to find a solidified answer in this thread

Especially since the official Nintendo wheel costs $9.99.

Don't take this as gospel, but this is my understanding.

Wii Sports Resort - Yes
Grand Slam Tennis - Optional bundle
Tiger Woods 10 - Optional bundle
Virtua Tennis - Not bundled
Pyrokai said:
Probably all attachments will come with the condom, but I believe you can cut it off.

Should be $10 extra.

Agreed, hell $14.99 would have been better. I guess they figure that most people won't realize that one controller is going to cost you like $80.
Then you have to buy a classic controller if you like SNES - N64 games.
Someone needs to make a fucking classic controller that doesn't require the Wii-mote.

Well, it could show that M+ is at a OK price to anyone who was willing to throw down the money for a Wii Wheel or Zapper.Balb said:
More people with M+ is a good thing!

It would just fucking kick ass if Classic Controller Pro or whatever worked with GameCube titles. The WaveBird is out of stock and the GameCube controller cord is only like three feet, which is stupid.Eteric Rice said:
Compatibility issues will most likely prevent Motion+ from ever being built into the controller this generation. The new controller would have to be compatible with games designed for the old remote and games designed for the Motion+ Accessory. If you start moving around components, you start altering axis and it's very unlikely that everything will function the same. Besides, Nintendo's accessory model has been working wonderfully... they benefit nothing from changing it.birdchili said:
The most we should expect is adding the Motion+ accessory into the console package.

So, in the end was Cube Revolution right or not?

It doesn't.

Compared to the shockaxis ( 60) it's great value. Controllers in general are too expensive though, I agree with that.Balb said:

If the M+ doesn't want to stay attached without the condom holding it together, I'm just going to epoxy it to one of my Wiimotes.
If it had been $10, we'd still be having this 'cost' conversation because The Full Controller would still cost $70.
Here are some other Wii peripherals which cost around $20:

So? It was confirmed that the nunchuk would connect through the M+ extension, and there doesn't seem to be any good reason to drop that.

You have no idea what you are talking about.The Skater said:
The remote itself is 40 dollars.
The motion plus costs 20, which is the same price as the nunchuk or the classic controller, which are also incidentally controller parts that plug into the wii remote. It's Nintendo's standard price for Wii remote add-ons that actually DO something.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'd complain more about peripheral pricing if you actually needed everything all at once. As it stands, single-player focused games usually use the nunchuck attachment and multiplayer-focused games usually just use the wii-remote by itself.
I've gotten by completely fine just having two nunchucks, and I've barely ever needed the other one.
Now, before someone calls me an apologist, or something, I agree this stuff should be cheaper (just like how everything should be cheaper) and I wish Nintendo would have included two remotes with the console. But oh well.

It's definitely what I'm doing. No chance in hell of me buying it separately.
this is definitely wait-and-see for me. none of the announced games has a hope of convincing me unless wsr contains more brilliance than i'm expecting (my ws copy almost never hits the disc slot). in any case, wsr would almost certainly be a 2xm+ situation, making it a $70 game...
i'd be a lot more optimistic if we'd actually seen more really excellent games that leverage the current pointer technology (which seems a natural fit for so many *already existing* genres and doesn't have a requirement for a hardware-boost for precision).
finger's crossed (again) (and still).

Gamestop/EB is trying to sell this for $24.99. :/

Who thought they would retro actively go back and put motion plus into old games? Thats plain ridiculous. So far there have been very few games that use the standard wiimote correctly I don't think M+ would help any game released so far in any way.
Besides the obvious games like Twood and other which are already getting M+ versions.
What I want to know is if they will put M+ in all wiimotes.
