    Platform »

    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Wii Motion Plus is out today! Are you getting it?

    Not particularly interest in the controller, but if I was to get it, it would be with Grand Slam Tennis. I really do want to try it out.

    Oh, so it is good? Cool, I may get that Tiger Woods game when I get around to it (read: never, but it looks cool).

    Um, yes, M+ is good. And Tiger Woods got top marks from IGN, 1UP and Nintendo Power so far.

    Yes, I will get M+ on Friday. And I will be playing Grand Slam Tennis today, I think, with "normal" Wiimote controls, so that I can see the difference.

    I'm waiting for Wii Sports Resort, seems like a good all arounder, and the gameplay seems the most interesting of all the Plus stuff to me.

    I pondered it while holding the box in the store, but passed.  I'm not sure I even want Wii Sports Resort, seems too juvenile to me.  Red Steel 2 I wasn't too impressed by what I saw of it at E3...  I dunno, what else is coming out within the year that supports the M+?

    Ill probably buy Wii Motion + together with Wii Sports resort . Sounds like both grand slam and PGA tour are superb games, but they dont appeal to me^^

    They didn't really publicize the release of this well.

    sort of juvenile yeah, but mainly because of the Mii's, but I might get it.   The basketball and fencing could be worth the price.

    I got it with Tiger Woods. It works great. Disc Golf in the Tiger Woods game is a lot of fun, simple, but with Motion Plus the gameplay is tight as a drum. The actual golf game is great. I perform a golf swing, my avatar does the same, and we put it in the hole.

    I've also pre-ordered Wii Sports Resort, so I can get another Motion Plus adapter for my second Wii remote.

    How is the difference when playing grand slam tennis with it compared to playing wiimote only. I've only played it for a bit myself and i do not see at all how motion plus could improve the experience.

    Video coming up as soon as I can get the movie maker to run on Windows7. With MotionPlus the way you hit the ball determines it's path, not when you hit.

     July 3rd till we get Tiger10 :(. I'm thinking about popping out later and getting Grand Slam, but I need to read a few more reviews first.

    I think I will wait on Tiger...

    I read in other reviews that Grand Slam Tennis is tough because you need to be able to play and be fit. So I may get Grand Slam as I'm terrible at tennis videogames but good at tennis. So we'll see xD It's a lot of outlay on a gamble.... so actually nahhhh.

    Yea, I am pretty sure now I will wait on Tiger 10, and possibly wait on next years round of Tennis games. GST is not the game I had hoped it would be, based all that I have read so far about it. While Virtua Tennis Wii on the other hand, looks plain shoddy all over. It looks like an after thought version for SEGA, who clearly gave the HD versions a larger development budget, and more importantly, a better development team.  Virtua Tennis Wii is both a diservice to the great new device, and to a great franchise.

    I'll be waiting to get it with Wii Sports Resort. If I was to get it before then, I think I would go for Tiger Woods 10, as it seems to be getting the best review out of the MotionPlus games. I'll probably end up getting another MotionPlus with a copy of Red Steel 2. That game is looking much better than the first game, which I thought was really bad, personally.

    Well I shall by buying both TW10 and (reviews pending) Sports Resort packaged with controllers. Tiger is one of the highest rated releases so far this year looking at the metacritic averages - couldn't be more excited for a game.

    I'm going to wait until Sports Resort. If there was backwards compatibility, I'd buy it now, but there isn't, so I'll wait for a wider variety of games to utilize it.
