so it has wii motionplus built in?

Seems pretty rubbish, considering I already have the extra peripheral, but it'll probably help out some people.

Darn. And I *just* bought my 4th wiimote and nunchuck.

Oh well, the extra peripheral makes the wiimote feel nice and weighty anyway.

Nice to see another gaming family on the boards.

On Topic: So I purchased three Wii Motion Pluses for nothing? These new ones look so much nicer without the add-on.

It was really only a matter of time for these ever since M+ was released. I'm going to get the pink.

That is what seems happened. Hopefully they can Scare Nintendo into getting a Hard Drive or letting us use External Hard Drives too. I think Nintendo knew the competition would eventually copy their controllerand theyprobably wanted them to copy the imperfect controller (which is the normal one) thenNintendo would release theupdatedcontroller to blow them away but that isn't what happened. Hopefully this will also force Nintendo to get better 3rd party support too.

I figured it was true. They sell Wii remotes with M+ already attached for the same price as a normal Wii remote. Who would buy M+ seperately for $20 now?

The big thing I want to know is what's the length of these bad boys? They look like normal remotes to me, but if they just stretched them, that means the buttons on the lower end will be even farther away. I hope not

So now we either need to buy new remotes, or more motion pluses.

Aside from Fling Smash (I think that's what it's called) and LoZ: SS, what reason is there to get this exactly? I mean really, anyone who has wii sports: resort probably already has all the M+ they need. While I think this is neat (and probably should have been done along side the release of the M+ attachment) I can't help but think it a bad business decision. Unless they're cooking up a lot of M+ games for the future.

This is why Im thinking its due to PS3 Move (1 to 1) motion control...Its too much of a coincidence as soon as PS3 Move release bam..Wiimote with built in Motion plus is also announced?

I think its for 3rd party devs who when design PS3 Move games may also include Wii motion plus as well?...that's what Im thinking.

Yeah, I was going to say. Totally saw it coming. Two separate peripherals for one controller is sort of a hassle, add in a nunchuk and it's just annoying. Good move, but I think they could have and should have done it sooner.

Any external differences? (Besides that rounded text on the bottom i've noticed) Just looks like the new colored wii remotes.

no one is sure if it will be longer or something... but imo it would be dumb to make it longer. the whole point is to be like a regular wiimote.

Really? Of course Nintendo was probably planning on it from the beginning but the photos of it springing up right after PS Move's release was a business move if I've ever seen one. It's too much of a coincidence to not call it competitive when all of a sudden Nintendo decided to combine Wii Motion Plus right after Sony released their all-in-one 1:1 controller.

Well, at least developers will be better encouraged to use the MotionPlus capabilities, so we'll probably see a lot more indeed.

I mean, this is really cool sure and I will buy at least one. But it's another in a long line of announcements that seems to further continue the life of the current generation Wii (which of course I do love), when I all I really want is the next console. Oh well, it's Nintendo so it's all about a painfully long waiting game.

Motion plus was already available when Wii was launch, why release it as an add-on other than greed, they should have release Wiimote with motion plus built in from the get go.

it was expensive, and in 2006 nobody would pay 100$ for a wiimote, not only that but by 2009 it was still the best motion controller (tech wise), do you know something about economics? maybe iwata can help you

It will probably be bundled with LoZ SS.

Im not getting one until good games that support it come out. *sigh* So much wasted potential.

Looking for great games that use motion plus? Have you been living under a rock or an asylum? Asylum! And I wasn't ready for Asylum Relive a Lie! To let go. Now it's dragging me into your grave YOUR ASYLUM forget the lie. overcome the feeling that I won't get... *ahem* Anyways, there's quite a library of wii motion plus utilized games, worthy contenders of collectibles my young purple haired dinosaur...lizard whatever you are.
