Topic: Disc-Only Version of Wii Play: Motion Available For Club Nintendo Users

[NWR_Neal]

You can get the new MotionPlus-controlled game sans controller for $30.

E-mails went out to Club Nintendo users today that revealed that they could buy a copy of just the Wii Play: Motion disc for $29.99 exclusively on the Nintendo Online Store.

The game, which released today, is bundled with a Wii Remote Plus controller and retails for $49.99. The disc-only version can only be purchased with an exclusive promo code that is included in the e-mail to members.

There is no word on whether or not the disc-only version of the game will be available in any other capacity, and there is a chance the e-mail only went out to users who registered other MotionPlus-exclusive games.

I just got the email. And here I thought I was special.

I already own two Wii MotionPlus's, so I may get this (if I decide to get Wii Play: Motion).

....I already bought it on Amazon a week ago.

They couldn't have sent that email out a week or two before the release date?

[StrawHatChopper]

Not bad, I just picked it up for that price!    I don't want another controller till that fancy gold Zelda version comes out.

[Enner]

This is quite nice for those who already have all the Wii Remotes they need. I am curious as to the quality of the mini games. The E3 2011 trailer of Wii Play: Motion had me 50/50 with the mini games shown.

With the Wii U using the WM+, I think it makes sense to get the discounted controller, even for people that already have four.  I've found that they are not that durable.  The main reason I wouldn't is to wait for other colors.

[Ailingforale]

I agree with you Strawhat, I'm a sucker for golden Zelda stuff.  I've got the DS lite and Golden pro controller (from Goldeneye but whatever lol).

[ShyGuy]

I wonder if the Wii U wiimotes will be redesigned in any way.

[Jonnyboy117]

It's very cool that they're offering this version. I guess the next question is whether it's worth $30? TYP and I had a lot of fun with three of the mini-games at E3, but we didn't get to try them all.

Since a Wii Remote Plus costs $39.99 by itself, this is hardly a deal. You might as well just pay the extra $10 and  get the extra remote.

WiiPlay Motion w/ Wiimote+ cost $50
WiiPlay Motion w/o wiimote+ cost $30

spend the extra $10... I think you mean spend the extra $20 and get the extra remote.

[Mop it up]

That seems pretty expensive, at most it should be $20. Though since this is Club Nintendo, I'd rather spend coins on it since I have no other use for them.

Nintendo really has to start releasing 2 versions of these games on the same day: with remote and without remote. Motion Plus has been out for almost 2 years now and Nintendo has been selling the Wii with Remote Plus for awhile as well. They just started selling Wii Sports Resort without Motion Plus fairly recently. Lamezorz.

[UncleBob]

I'm waiting on a reply from Nintendo before I bite.  I want to make sure this comes in a case, and not a cardboard sleeve, and includes the Club Nintendo Pin.

I mean, I can always use a 6th Wii remote and all... but...

Mop it up - You know, depending on how many coins you've got, I'd bet we can work something out.

[Cyrian]

No dice, I bet you'll be able to get the entire bundle for $30 during holiday sales this year.

Ooops... I was actually thinking save $10 as opposed to buying it and another remote separate... Yet somehow the lines apparently got crossed on the way from my brain to the keyboard. My bad :-P
