    A lot of lofty promises were made before the Wii came out. Some of them were subtle, but I'm pretty sure many of us expected 1-to-1 motion would eventually show up in our games.

    Had I known that such a feat would not be possible in normal games, and would require another unnecessary add-on (which the Wii is starting to become infamous for), I'm not sure I would've loyally and enthusiastically purchased one on launch-day.

    What do you guys and gals think of this new bit of hardware?

    I think it will seperate the consumer market, on one side you'll have the people who don't have Wii Sports Resort and thus don't have Wii MotionPlus and on the other side you have those who do. Game developers would love to use this 1-to-1 motion capture but not at the expense of only being able to sell their game to those who have the Wii MotionPlus peripheral and so will continue to develop games specifically for the base consumer; those who don't have the Wii MotionPlus.

    I woulds have rather Nintendo pushes the Wii back a bit and included the MotionnPus in the original package. I'm certainly not going to buy it now.
