Grand Slam Tennis - 2.07.2009 - 49,99 Euro

Grand Slam Tennis Bundle with Wii Motion Plus - 2.07.2009 - 59,99 Euro

This sounds like that Wii Motion Plus will come out late June or Early July with a price point of around 10 dollars.

Nintendo is out to change game sales patterns for good.

Glad to see that Nintendo is working with 3rd Parties when it comes to bundling it.

Bundle prices aren't necessarily equivalent to standalone prices. I think ACCF is 50€, ACCF+WS is 60€ and the WS alone is 30€ or something like that.

KDR's right. It'll probably be more as a stand alone in order to entice people to buy the packaged deal.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #30 on:** March 23, 2009, 06:01:14 PM »

I think Motion Plus will be $20 in NA.

I can't remember if that was cheaper than the Rumble Pak.

Wasn't the rumble pack $20? Not really sure.

Good question. I do believe the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak was $20, as was the Controller Pak (memory card). The Expansion Pak was $30, though that wasn't a controller accessory.

If the Wii Wheel was $15 and doesn't have any electronic components in it then I can't imagine this thing being anything less than $20.

Actually the Wii Wheel is 9.99 a lot of retailers inflate the price by 5 dollars for a quick buck. Same thing happened to the Zapper where the MSRP was 19.99 but a lot of retailers charged 24.99 for it.

I didn't know that, but that doesn't surprise me. In any case, the Wii Motion Plus isn't going to be the same price, so I'd say it'll be $15 minimum, though I really expect $20. Anything higher is getting excessive for a controller accessory.

Though I think it would be a better idea to sell it as cheap as possible ($5? $10?) to get it into the hands of everyone, especially if they plan to use it in many games.

I think they will just allow 3rd parties (along with themselves) pack it in whenever it is required.

But then those games would likely have a higher price tag. They should be like Mario Kart and not raise the price. Mario Kart doesn't even require its included accessory.

Not necessarily. Maybe at first but down the line it is possible the price won't be higher.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2009, 07:34:51 PM »

Mario Kart included... PLASTIC.

Stratos · « **Reply #41 on:** March 23, 2009, 08:55:07 PM »

So I guess that solves out questions about a possible delay in the M+. That probably means that Nintendo is saving the release date announcement for GDC or some other event down the line.

Hell, we have that happening with points cards here, you pretty much pay 25€ for 2000 points.

That's what Amazon is for with $19.49 plus free shipping (at least on the US site). Though I just get my points straight from the Shop Channel. It's more convenient that ordering a card and waiting a week or going to the store whenever I need one. I just use my debit card. Also that way Nintendo gets more of my money instead of a middle man snagging it all.

like discussed in podcast a few back, I said than and I'll say again. WiiPlay 2 with extra motion plus and minigames that only use it.

There is a new rumor about M+ in the Wii Rumor thread

M+ and permanently attached wiicondoms
Wiimote + eXtenZe & condoms to fit.
Nintendo thinks of everything.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #46 on:** March 27, 2009, 11:18:34 PM »

Maybe Mario will have his own late-nite mature Wii-enhancement infomercials.

Oh wait, he already does.
