REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo is setting the stage for a blockbuster summer with the announcement of two hotly anticipated product releases. The new Wii MotionPlus™ accessory will hit U.S. retailers on June 8, taking the motion-sensing controls of the popular Wii™ system to new levels of precision and performance. What’s more, these control enhancements will be on vibrant display when the Wii Sports Resort™ game launches on July 26, offering a beach-themed follow-up to the groundbreaking Wii Sports™ game. Wii Sports comes packed with the Wii console. It grew into a worldwide phenomenon and continues to attract millions of new players to the world of video games. Each Wii Sports Resort game comes packed with a single Wii MotionPlus accessory.
When used with specially designed games, Wii MotionPlus tracks players’ movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before, building upon the innovative wireless function of the motion-sensing Wii Remote™ controller. Even the slightest twist of the wrist or turn of the body is replicated exactly on the TV screen, allowing users to become even more immersed in Wii game play. Designed for easy attachment to the Wii Remote controller, the Wii MotionPlus accessory will be offered at an MSRP of $19.99.
Wii Sports Resort takes the inclusive, fun and intuitive controls of the original Wii Sports to the next level, introducing a whole new set of entertaining and physically immersive activities. With the deep control enhancements of Wii MotionPlus, veteran Wii users and newcomers alike can enjoy unprecedented gaming precision as they cruise on a water scooter, duel with swords, throw a Frisbee® and much more. Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus will be offered together at an MSRP of $49.99.
“Wii MotionPlus represents a new evolution in video game control. The variety of fun games in Wii Sports Resort show off its incredible precision,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Developers around the world are busy working on new ways to incorporate Wii MotionPlus controls into inventive experiences for consumers.”

Check out the prices of the Invensense Gyroscopes. The cheapest one is $30,-, and that's only a gyro. So with that plus wiimotion condom, packaging and transport, it seems that Nintendo is taking a loss here. Plus if the rumour is true, you might get the Gyro for $10 if you buy the Tigerwoods/GrandSlam Tennis motionplus pack. A steal.
Touch my balls, Iga. Check out the page you linked, try to purchase a thousand gyros, and watch unit price fall down to 14 bucks. I would say buying a few tens of thousands would net you even better pricing. So taking a loss my ass.
Still a steal inane cumbucket, unless you were planning to buy 1000 anyways. Besides I the prices are correct you would be able to buy Tigerwoods motionplus bundle for $60,-. Which would mean that you pay only $10,- for a motionplus. If those retailer prices are correct.
Wait, Nintendo is not making a loss?! Okay good to know, Nintendo taking a loss, is the first sign of the apocalypse.
OMG HD Spirtes underway!
One of the site's forefathers.
Iwata is way smarter (and more handsome) than you, so he would never approve a decision that would make Nintendo take a loss.
Bleh, even that would be better than Doom 3!
Iwata is way smarter than anyone, Nintendo is the only console manufacturer that makes money.
P.S. Steel check this out: Iwata - whose head resembles a mushroom - was not responding to lacklustre Wii sales in Japan, but to the yearly decline of game sales across the region - around 18 per cent last year.

Hey, who deleted my Wiisport story?
Dunno. Wasn't me.
Do you see the resemblance?
Did some more updates.
Twas me, accident sorry.
So, bizaarely, Virtua Tennis 09 has Wii motionplus support and will actually be the first game released to use it.
SEGA have really dropped the ball on publicising this information, acting coy for months. Grand Slam Tennis can steal a march on them simply because of months of motionplus talk. Even if VT is a better game.
Ooooo ... Bayonetta is looking tres sexy, I like very much.
Okay time for updates
P.S. Chelsea - Liverpool is awesome!!!
Just watched the end of eternity trailer. All CG
Yeah, I was just thinking when I saw it today... it looks pretty much like I would look, if I were a chick in a video game. Pretty sweet.
No one checking out the new Conduit screens or previews in the thread?
Looks like only Foolz carez.
"Michael Pachter, the well-established analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities, predicts “Chinatown Wars” at 450,000 units for the NPD reporting period ending in early April.
Jesse Divinich, analyst at research group EEDAR, pegs the sales “in the 200k range.” He elaborates: “Publishers looking to expand their portfolio at the hint that the Nintendo DS could support more mature rated titles may see these results as a caution; however GTA: Chinatown Wars will most likely post a profit for [its publisher] Take-Two.”
Both analysts reported these estimates in e-mails about the NPDs sent this morning to clients.
The performance and potential of M-rated games on the DS remains a mystery, despite the system’s more than 100-million-unit global installed base. Sony reps, naturally, have scoffed at the potential of even the powerful “GTA” series on the DS, which is commonly viewed as a system most popular with young children and women, saying their PSP is more ideal for this kind of game.
While some may take Divinich and Pachter’s disagreement as an indictment of educated guesswork it can also indicate just how murky the potential for an M-rated market on the DS is.
“GTA Chinatown Wars” remains the highest-scoring game released in the DS’ five-year history. Rockstar Games has made no announcements about the “GTA” franchise’s future on the platform."

Bugs, I read your post. People who have enjoyed GTA in the past and are not buying this version are full of excuses because they have no legitimate argument for not buying it.
GG I'm interested in Conduit, but no more than from the first screens I saw.
I forced shut off my system and turned it on after ten minutes. Than it started to make a huge whirling noise! It freaked me out! I thought to myself, I only had my 360 for five months and I'm already getting a RROD!? So I turned it off and waited for half and hour and tried again. Thank God it went back to normal and everything felt fine. I played for a few hours afterwards and experienced no problems.
I guess this happened because of the game. I guess Fallout 3 has some glitches and bugs. That's a good sign, as long as it's not my system, than I'm cool with that.
But seriously, what a panic attack last night!
