So let me get this straight. The only thing the Wii had going for it originally was the motion-sensing remote thing. But now they have to put out the Plus, because everyone's finally realized the regular Wiimote only works a little better than the Sixaxis, which I discovered the first time I tried to play Monkeyball and almost knocked a lamp over trying to get the tiny white box to acknowledge I existed.

So...why did everyone rush out and buy Wiis again? Other than the fact that Nintendo stamped it?

By the way - the original NES lightgun was based on something invented in the mid-70s, and I don't think I ever had a problem with my Nintendo knowing where I was aiming. Granted it wasn't fully motion-sensitive, but it's been almost 40 years, Nintendo. We went from small missiles to landing on the moon in half the time it's taken you to finally figure out how to get a slightly newer N64 to recognize I'm moving the stripped-down lightgun. Perplexing.
That's not fair, the Wiimote isn't just a souped up lightgun.

...it's more of a souped up Power Glove.
That is less responsive then the sixaxis controller.

I think it's cool that Nintendo is basically creating a Wiimote 2.0, but I don't care much about it at this point. Instead of jumping to conclusions like the average human being, I'll just wait until I see some actual footage of the thing being used (unless such videos exist and I've missed them).

if Dark Knight went back to the campy days of yore?
That would be awesome :D

On topic, It pissed me off that this was their main E3 attraction. Even worse, the fencing in Wii Sports Resort was not actual fencing :( As a fencer i would have found that entertaining ^^

Basically what everone above me has said. And if all the WiimotionPlus does is make the wiimote even MORE accurate then why can't it work with previous games before it was released? (I think that's the case)

I will promise you one thing, Wii Sports Resort will be the new Wii Play. Wii give up.

I also don't understand why they would need to release something that makes the Wiimote do something it was supposed to do. If the PS3 can pull something out of its ass that wont need an upgrade (Blu ray) that is more "advanced" than the wii itself then why couldn't they just make it "true 1:1" in the first place? Damn Nintendo and their evil marketing ploys.

I don't get it DS3 is okay but this isn't? Nintendo understands some want to have the Wii mote more accurate and it will take Hardware not a software update to do it. I am worried though if like you said Wii sports resort turns into Wii play (heres hoping the mini games are a set of Wii Bowlings not Wii Turn your guy to fit in a bubble.)

EDIT: Congrats on going Gonzo Jumplion sorry I'm late to party

I think the DS3 is a bit different.

The DS3 was postponed making because of the lawsuit (and we've been over this guys, the whole "RUmble's last gen" was a freakin' coverup!) and it was inevitable in the first place (though that's where the differences end). Plus, you've paying $5 extra for rumble, no big deal.

For the wii, everyone already thought the Wiimote was accurate enough, nobody was really claymoring for more accuracy except for a few people here and there but they easily found other ways to make it accurate. Then out comes the "Wiimotion plus!" which will diliver "true 1:1 motion control!" What? Didn't the Wiimote already do that? So now we're going to have to buy 4 extra peripherals that wont fit into my Wii condom anymore and will possibly not work with my older games? What?

Atleast the dualshock only adds weight, it doesn't show a visible difference. Better Wiimotion wasn't on too many peoples minds and all of a sudden it turns out the Wii isn't the most accurate it could be. Then why didn't they make it accurate inthe first place?
Though I do admit, the DS3 and WMP are similar in some places.

As I've said before, damn Nintedno and their marketing ploys.


EDIT: Wait, didn't you get an invite? There was cake! Though it mysteriously vanished, don't know what happend.

Don't see how buying a $30-$40 accessory is the same as rebuying $60 controllers

DS3 doesn't work with all games either and both aren't forced on you. (sheesh I'm defending the wii see what 2 weeks off does to you.)

Yes that is true, but it's how they were announced that's different.

When sony announced the DS3, everyone was "FINALY" and maybe a few comments of "Finaly they released something the controller was supposed to do!" And they even said that some titles will support it immediatly or through patches

WHen Nintendo announced WMP, everyone said "What?" and many comments of "They're releasing something the wii was supposed to do all this time?" And all they gave us was games in the future that would support it and that was basically 1 or 2 games.

It's the difference in words and stuff that make them different, but eventually I am getting a DS3 controller as it is only $5 more than a regular controler while a WMP is 30-$40 more just to make it more accurate than the SixaxiS.

Blech, i don't like pie. Ice cream is hte way to go.

The 2,3 lines seem similar(give or take a question mark)

Maybe I'm already getting wii sports resort or wmp (for arguements sakes) and with the extra cash(60-40=20) I can buy buckets full of ice cream! Muhahaha!

It already is more accurate (even if you say the tilting is the same wiimote has a pointer :p)

Pie a la mode?

What difference (the unexpectedness of "fixing" it)

Yarp???(translates into "what" in a Hot Fuzz-English dictionary) (In response to the second point)

Okay, it's the difference in tone that makes the whole difference.

Woohooo!! = DS3

Woohooo?? = WMP

One is happy, the other is confused. Which one is it?

Vrwaarrrpp!!! (Yesss!!!)

Now let's put some products behind those costs.

500! = Something that is awesome and amazing and could have been more expensive (PS3! :p) but it's only $500 and affordable for that type of product!

500? = Something that isn't supposed to be worth $500 like (PS3? :p) a regular MP3 player that does nothing new (WMP just a cool addon that does what it's supposed to do)
