In Eguchi's own words, Nintendo is "looking at whether or not it will be an attachment or built in," so a MotionPlus Wiimote is far from confirmed. Still, we certainly hope Nintendo never ceases production of the attachment altogether -- forcing a populous that scrambled to acquire the Wii's elusive controller last year to chase after a new Wiimote SKU could lead to an unforeseen, if not slightly ironic, revolution against the prosperous company.

To me that's positive ... not negative as you want to put it.
No MEMS device is terribly large, because making them larger makes them even more expensive. It would be odd to see it even be 1/2" on a side, and even at 1/2" on a side it would have fit inside the Wiimote just fine.
By the way... I'm going to see The Dark Night in 2 hours. Any impressions? AAA movie or just A?

The new GlovePIE possibilities, however, are endless
The answer is pretty clear, Nintendo. Built-in. The end.

Sony had the Rumble lawsuit with Immersion that went all the way back to the Dual Shock 2. At the time they said it was because the Rumble technology would interfere with the Six Axis technology. However, that was obviously a terrible excuse. The fact of the matter is they should have licensed the technology from the get go.
The Wii 1:1 motion sensor is a completely different story. I am not sure the same technology was available at the time the Wii was originally engineered. However, I am not sure if this is the truth or if like Sony it is just another excuse.

As fort he aforementioned combat system. Blech. It didn't feel like you were fighting the enemies. They just kind stood around and occasionally you got into one of those duel things. You couldn't really tell what you were doing.
Make it more along the lines of Ninja Gaiden or God Hand and they'll have a winner.

You don't really need a longer sleeve unless you have the MotionPlus.
I mean good lord, this reminds me of the morons who were complaining about paying 5 friggin dollars for the Mass Effect add-on, or a VC game. You're whiny little bitch entitled ass attitude is annoying.

Not to mention that if third-party support is encouraged for this device, it is almost being forced upon consumers.
Choice is good, but this generation's over-enthSKUsiasm is just plain annoying.
The problem is that some of the new games will require this new add on part. I think that is a more than adequate reason to complain. Not to mention the Wii Mote was already supposed to be 1:1. Put your bias in the corner for a few minutes and look at the situation from a different perspective. Also, I think the majority of us are extremely upset from the E3 showing the essentially told us we are not needed, appreciated or even wanted anymore with the Wii.
I find the idea of a single-person controller setup being $90 to be bullshit.
$40 Wiimote + $25 MotionPlus + $30 Nunchuk.
Go ahead and call me a whiner all you want.
The Wiimote sucks batteries faster than a digial Thai hooker....that made more sense I my head :(
