Pale, you're making a lot of assumptions about a game that hasn't been shown publicly since last July.

Because, you know, no one else is making assumptions about the game we know next-to-nothing about.

I predict a Metacritic score of 82. The last game received a 76. Since then, reviewers have warmed up just a bit.

I want Mario-god-damn-Golf with my motion plus.
That would be pretty sweet, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like Camelot want to make any more Mario games.

I suspect it's more along the lines of Nintendo not wanting to make another Mario Golf game.

Who knows? The way Nintendo has announced things lately, it's possible that it is in the works.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #79 on:** April 15, 2009, 01:23:59 AM »

At least give me a NPC version of Toadstool Tour. Something, please

If the impressions are to be trusted, however, Tiger Woods with M+ seems to work quite well. I guess that's okay, I GUESS. Grand Slam Tennis looks good as well, and I KNOW I won't get a NPC Mario Tennis wit M+...augh this could turn out to be quite expensive...

Of course, now there's the whole "first-gen" dilemma...will the second batch of M+ games be significantly better than the first as devs learn to use the new hardware, or is it close enough to the regular Wiimote that it won't matter all that much? Probably the former, but still. I get nervous.

I'm looking forward to the next generation of WM+ games, when developers get the obvious "swing the bat" mechanic out of their system and (hopefully) start doing some innovative stuff with the technology.

Looks like GameStop is up to their old tricks again, they are charging $24.99 for MotionPlus.

Like swinging a sword?

Stogi · « **Reply #84 on:** April 15, 2009, 02:51:19 PM »

I always thought that a game like black & white would work superbly with M+.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #85 on:** April 15, 2009, 03:24:09 PM »

I think B&W doesn't require M+.

I'm not sure, maybe it is both. I do remember reading an interview with Camelot around the time when We Love Golf was released, and they expressed that they were happy to work outside of the restrictions and expectations of creating a Mario game, or something along those lines.

But why wouldn't Nintendo (and Camelot) want to make another Mario Golf game? All of the other Mario games on Wii sold over a million and counting.

I wonder how many retailers will jack the price up another $5? I've seen the Wii Wheel being sold for $15 and the Zapper sold for $25 at so many places (GameStop, TRU, etc.) and I'm just thankful some stores (Walmart!) doesn't do that...

O RLY?!

Pwned.

Wal*Mart just claim that their prices are lower than other stores, not lower than MSRP...

UncleBob · « **Reply #90 on:** April 18, 2009, 12:43:51 AM »

Funny - they're $9.xx in stores.

For the record, Wii Motion Plus is up for pre-order on GameStop at $25.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #91 on:** April 18, 2009, 01:34:53 AM »

I preordered two Wii Motion Pluses from Amazoz.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #92 on:** April 18, 2009, 10:55:17 AM »

I hope one was packaged with WSR & the other one was packaged with GST.

or do you plan on buying both of those(& TW2010) and just wanted to make sure you could include all 4 controllers?

No games require Wii MotionPlus, I don't think Nintendo would allow that. It would be kinda stupid anyways since you then limit your audience to those who own the add-on. The only way I can see it being a good idea is if you get Nintendo to allow you to bundle the add-on with your game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #94 on:** April 18, 2009, 12:47:57 PM »

WSR doesn't require it?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #95 on:** April 18, 2009, 03:29:10 PM »

I don't think it does. Every preview and report I have read says it will support WMP, I haven't seen one that says the game requires it.

Does Wii Fit require the Balance Board?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #97 on:** April 18, 2009, 04:25:52 PM »

That's not quite the same thing though. The Wii Balance Board is a specialty controller while Wii MotionPlus is an add-on.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 18, 2009, 04:26:04 PM »

If it didn't, I'd be even more pissed that they haven't separated the damn balance board yet. I own both Shaun White and Skate It, but I don't own a damn balance board and I'm not shelling out 90 for one.

We were talking about a hypothetical game and I don't think that Black & White did anything that would benefit from WMP support since there's no rotating involved. It was all pointer based.
