There's a slew of games that would be awesome if this 1:1 thing is real, but you don't want to cut out everyone who doesn't have this.
Its like why most games that use the balance board have options to play the game without it.

Considering how much smaller and cheaper this is than the balance board, I can see it just being packaged with games that will use it. Nintendo will probably subsidize the cost on it.
BigJim:
Nice!
Such a small bugger, too. Hope they incorporate it into future Wiimotes.
Spak-Spang:
I am super excited about this. If they can get this out for $10-20 each individual but also bundle it with a killer game or heck even two...this will be big.
If they can bundle this with a new Nintendo game...like: Animal Crossing/Wii Music/Wii Sports 2.
and then also bundle it with a few 3rd party games this could be big.
Also, I would hope it backwards compatible though I also don't see why you would need to take it out...
This has me really excited, for several games...if it is backwards compatible. Mario Baseball just got a my interest if it is.
AV:
I'm thinking this stuff has internal program and memory that remembers how you did motions and learns.
Come on Star Wars: Force Unleashed to use it. That would be awesome
Yoshidious:
I agree with Pale that this is unusual for Nintendo in that it is a concession of the Wii Remote's limitations. The timing is also of note, in that they felt the need for its announcement to occur before Microsoft's press conference. It seems like they wanted to ensure that any announcement of an ostensibly superior Wii Remote-style controller from Microsoft had its legs cut out from under it before it was made.
