Well Nintendo is suppose to make a plenty of accessories to their consoles. Thats their THING but, lately it seems that if you want to get the most out of the Wii they are forcing (not really forcing but highly promoting) that if you dont get these accessories you may or may not be able to play future games its annoying.

First it was the Wii Balance Board. At first I thought I needed it. Now the motion plus which well I dunno.

So you're complaining about 2 things?

Your limit is two?

Yes, really now. You complained about two things. One of which is one of if not the most financially successful accessory ever, the other dramatically improves motion tracking and effectively kills waggle.

No, first it was the Wii Wheel. Then it was the Wii Zapper. Next the Balance Board. Then the Wii Motion Plus.

I owned all four (I sold my Wii Wheel), but you don't need any of them, so why should it bother you?

Well I mean the first 2 I cared about. It seems like you have to get them is all. Like it seems you have to get them eventually.

the wii wheel and zapper are just pieces of plastic and will never be required.. there are a lot of junk accessories out there such as the wii sports package, but a balance board and a motion plus? not too many if you ask me.

No, not at all

The only two you need to play the games are the balance board and the Wiimotion Plus

That's it, 2 items

It's trapping people into paying 90 dollars for something that is about 40, which is milking our money

No, double that

The software is just about free for the whole bundle

The balance board works like two more Wiimotes so how much is a Wiimote costing these days? 35 or so? So you have two of those in the balance board

Plus the balance board is made tougher then the Wiimotes to deal with people stepping on it all the time

Honestly, I don't think that there are enough games out there requiring the use of accessories like the Balance Board and Wii MotionPlus. At the moment, they seem to be optional control schemes to play games more than they are a driving control force for games. I do expect this to change a bit once MotionPlus establishes itself better, but as for the balance board, I don't think I can say the same. While I would love to see the thing put to better use, fitness titles are the only games pushing use of the balance board these days.

So yeah, can't say I fully agree with you here. :P
