Ok that's what n-gaf is saying too but I don't get it really. Is it because of my apathy towards Nintendo or is it because honestly it doesn't seem like a big deal at all?

To me it just seems like something that should have been a part of the Wiimote since the beginning.

Damn you Aladuf!

As fun as this news is, it makes me more excited for what they have for it. nintendo usually doesn't do these things without reason.

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Yeah, my hopes for this 1.1 business is that it'll all just lead to a Zelda debut come time for Nintendo's conference.

It is no different than 2.40 to piss you and Flunkie off.
It is something that should have been there out of the gate, but now it advances motion controls of the Wii even more.

If the right games take advantage.

Brian Crecente from Kotaku has it right - the Wii's sales are driven more by accessories than games. So, the best way to make more money is to release more accessories.

I suppose you're totally right. Well played Mr. Penguin, well played.

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

It makes the remote too long. I think the motion sensing is fine as it is. I also don't think this will go over very well with the general public. "Oh, we have our Wii. If we want to play this game, we need a device that makes the motion sensing better?"

Kind of ridiculous.

Hunh. Interesting. Well, they better re-release We Love Golf. :(

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Who else thinks they will announce a new controller that includes the new technology, no add-on needed??

Also, in combination with a new Zelda, this could be awesome.

Any idea on how it works?

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Yeah but.. then you'd hear the screams of a million diehard fanboys, frustrated with the fact they'll have to buy 4 more controllers.

I think the add-on is perfect, AND it's really small.

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Uhu, it's a good solution for existing controllers. But implementing it into a new one (possibly dropping the older model) would make a lot of sense.

Can't wait for the conference!

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Unless it's like $5, there's no way in heck I'm buying it.

Re: Nintendo reveals Wii MotionPlus -- 1:1 motion control add-on
 

Gonna disagree with you on this.

As the only game(s) that have been shown to be sold by peripheral are Wii Fit and Wii Play.

Now in the case of Wii Play, I think it was more of the success of the console and its image than the need for the game. An extra controller with a cheap game is a better arrangement.

Wii Fit needed the board to sell.

Mario Kart did not need the wheel. And almost certain it would have done just as well.

Then there are games like Galaxy and Brawl which sold really really well without the add of an add-on. And helpe spur (if you can really tell) the sales of the Wii.

And this isn't much of an accessory. We shall see what they do with it. Maybe they will bundle with Wiis from now on.
