This is a common exchange at a Gamestop involving an old person:

"Hello welcome to Gamestop! I see you're buying a Wii points card!"

"Yea, my nephew likes some of those old games, but I really like my Wii Fit! It's hip and makes me feel good!"

"Oh really? Well you can reserve Wii Fit 2 already, and there's another really cool game coming out called Wii Sports Resort!"

"Wow! A resort? I've always wanted to get away!"

"Well now you can! Just put a simple $5 on it, and you'll be guaranteed! Remember how you couldn't find a Wii Fit for months when it came out? Not with preorders!"

"Wow! I can't wait to play this! It sounds really cool! I wonder if my nephew will like it!"

Nintendo can thank pushy (obvious) sales techniques and old people who will drop $140 on Wii Fit 2 and Resort, only to play it for a day or so in a month's span.

So when you spend money companies don't track it? It must be hard to hear things over the sound of you being so awesome.


I'm excited for 1:1 sword fighting. It was one of the reasons I ever got interested in the Wii. It'll definitely be more fun than drunk wii boxing.

The Wii like gold. Everyone wants it, but it has no actual value once you think about it.

What are you talking about, Chronic? Of course gold has value! It makes awesome pimp teeth.

Who cares? If people want to buy it, there's nothing from stopping them doing it. Why make a big stink about people who have different tastes?

If Nintendo had have shipped two MotionPlus devices in the box with this, and kept it at the same price, i'd have definitely brought this straight away. Without that second add-on though, the most important aspect of this game is stripped out from the retail disc...

It's not even as if we can get it cheaper second hand either, since the MotionPlus will no doubt not be in there..

I wish they wouldn't rip us off so often, but it's what Nintendo have been expert at over the last few years. Though in my experience I cant say its anything new: I still had to pay £40 for Gamecube games, when the PS2 versions of them (or exclusives) often cost half the price..

LOL NINTENDO SUCKS! AND OTHER SUCH TRITE AND TIRED SHIT!

I got to admit I am kinda interested in motion plus but preorder I would not do.

Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-CHING!

At this rhythm, the next Nintendo system capabilities could surpass today's technology in graphics or interactivity.

I'm preordering. Wii sports still gets played at my house. WSR will likely be near as good. The value is much higher than $60 for a game I beat in 20 hrs and never play again. And I'm getting motionplus because it is the real hope and change in this country.
