Considering motion plus controllers are being sold with flingsmash for 20$, this games inevitable 50$ price seems a lot for more minigames.
On the one hand, I think the editorial edge to this announcement is potent enough to distract from its news value. On the other, I completely agree with the message, and I'm just as critical of straight-up press release regurgitation on gaming sites elsewhere.
Kudos. Please keep up the good work.

I think it'll preform as well as Wii Music, which is to say not that bad, but not that great either.
Oh, also even if project cafe uses wii motion plus I can't imagine it will be used any much more than it is now. If a peripheral isn't actually standard with every console then game developers have to make a huge gamble and develop games for the smaller demograghic that is created by the peripherals population. Of course gambles don't happen nowadays, you just get low budget, low risk mingames
I feel cheated after buying two Motion Plus additions - I have nearly every major game for the Wii, and how many current games truly support it, outside of optional minor (read: useless) tweaking? Maybe 3 (Wii Sports Resort, Flingsmash, and Red Steel 2)? Now 5 (including this and Skyward Sword)? Enh...
I'm getting it just so I can have a second Wii + controller and I can ditch that old Motion + attachment.
Just pack it with a Wiimote, and it'll be at the top of the NPD until the end of time, regardless of what control scheme the Cafe uses.
@Wolfy
It's not *true* motion plus support if it's optional - the ones that don't require it are generally half assed (I've played about half the total list), and added in as a marketing scheme.
Here's the full list. Currently, there are only 3 games that are built for Motion Plus.
As for the game, I will buy it for like $5 as a solo disc at Gamestop. As I noted, I have my Motion Plus accessories already.

@magnalon:
Agreed.... I bought those motion plus add ons when they launched. They have hardly utilized them in anything worthwhile, besides red steel 2 (which I might add is probabaly one of the best wii games imho). I'm betting that skyward sword will be one of the best games ever though, so I'm not too pissed.

@ Magnalon- I've been thinking of making a "master list" feature about the excellent peripherals, media delivery systems, or optional control methods that Nintendo has come with over the years, only to support with one or two pieces of excellent software, only to promptly abandon.
Every time I start it, I get depressed and stop. It's just so long, and so filled with fail. Makes me sad.

The only real awesome game from Wii Play was the tank mini game with a friend and trying to get to the final level. Stupid invisible tanks always got us in the end, though.

ROB, the Game Boy Printer, and the N64 Expansion Pack comes to mind :D - I look forward to it, as I grew up with all of them.

That rock-skipping game actually looks really enjoyable... not enough to warrant a purchase, mind you, but I'd like to play it.
@ Chilly
Well, yeah, you're buying it. :)
PS- Can I help you move? Sorry if you're missing s box or three...

@ Magnalon- Don't forget the Gameboy Camera, the Gameboy Adance eReader, the NES zapper, the SNES super scope, the Wii zapper, the Wii balance board, and not even released yet Wii vitality sensor.
typo- it should be 'lightning' not 'lightening' in the last sentence of the first paragraph. Sorry. It's a great article though, and as a Wii owner I can say a resounding no.
@Jon
I played BattleClash 1 and 2 at least 100 times each, so I got my money's worth out of the Super Scope :D

I don't think it will be super successful as Wii-Play. Let's face it, most ppl who bought Wii Play bought it to get an extra remote. It was the only option originally. I own Wii Play and I played it once just out of curiousity.
@Happy: Sure you can help me move, i'll just forget to tell you which boxes I've wired with explosives =)
I agree I'm disappointed by the lack of WM+ games, the peripheral is super cheap, and it's been bundled with every Wii since 2009, and the only game worth playing is Red Steel 2 (which was awesome). Almost every Wii game I've played could have benefited from the use of WM+, it's frustrating that such a cheap peripheral that greatly improves accuracy is widely ignored.
I'm not going to lie, this kind of does look fun. Plus that spaceship docking game looks kind of intense if you get my meaning.
Hi,
I am betty, In my opinion Too right, that game resulted in my heated battles for my friends and I too............

I'll get Wii Play Motion. Rotation games are nifty, at least, and skipping stones seems pretty cool.
@Magnalon @Holmes you forgot the SNES Mouse.
Actually, that one probably doesn't count, because quite a few games supported that.
Why the hell was the SNES the only console that got a mouse? Imagine if the Wii, 360 and PS3 supported mouse and keyboard. Wouldn't that be something.

@Captain
A few PS3 games support a mouse and keyboard (Unreal). Also, you can buy a M/KB adapter for 360 - my friend has it, and he says it works great.

i prob end up buying it , i don't have motion plus yet and i have a feeling that skyward sword doesn't come bundled with motion plus.

M/KB function works for quite a lot of indie games. As well as FFXI, Phantasy Star Universe.
