Yeah i'd definately buy this to get a new controller. Hockey does look worth the price by itself

Hockey?!?! Oh, right, air hockey..

It does look pretty good - I might just pick it up. Just a note, the air hockey minigame in Super Monkey Ball DS is great..

The controller comes free, or the game does. I forget which. Basically they're tech demos so there's no development cost to recoup. I forget what the cost is in Japan (whether it's game or controller price) but you're not paying more, one of the two is free.

Sort of like when Sega was bundling NiGHTs with the "3D Controller" and a lot of stores were selling the bundle for the same price as the controller by itselv.

I ended up with a lot of extra copies of NiGHTs because of that

Nope, the only games confirmed for launch here are Wii Sports and Zelda.

It's not really duck hunt, there is no duck or that d@mn dog, but it does have the clay shooting.  Still awesome though because it is multiplayer.  I know i would waste a lot of time on that game.  Actually now that i think of it my whole family would love WiiPlay.  Parents loves ping pong & fishing, Sisters love duck hunt, and well i see all of those mini games enjoyable.

I bet even if this wasn't bundled with the controller the sales for this game in Japan would still be huge.

Damn, why can't this come to America. I'm sure it'll retail for 50 bucks and you get the controller. I plan on spending 40 on the Wiimote as it is, may as well get another game along with it for a measly 10 bucks. I demand Reggie goes to Japan and tell Nintendo HQ to start sending copies to America ... or else.

If ping-pong still sucks as much as it apparently did at E3, I'm not sure I'd want it to come over for fear it'll taint people's impressions of the controller....

On the other hand, duck hunt....

Its more than just tech demos...they are multiplayer parlor games...this can be extremely addictive and fun.

When I buy my second controller I am getting it with WiiPlay so that I get alittle more bang with my buck...and basically that is what Nintendo wants to do.  Nintendo wants the second controller to feel let a better deal.  Everyone needs 2 controllers with a system...not everyone needs four.

Oh and if they price it the same as they did in Japan, you actually get the game and controller for cheaper than the single controller.  I don't understand it either.

There is no way Nintendo of America would be stupid enough not to release WiiPlay in the US...are they?

The US Nintendo event left details out of the speech...I hope this is one of those details left out, because I think this would be the smartest means to make getting a second controller look like a better deal.

As it is, I am waiting and watching for bundle deals and such.  This will be my first console I don't preorder, because I want to get the best deal...and I am picking it up at 12:00am on November 19th...so I have to find stores that WILL be open late.

Screw Duck Hunt.  I want HOGAN'S ALLEY.  Hell, I'd settle for the NES version on the virtual console as long as I can use the Wii pointer!
