MotionPlus to be 'very affordable,' Wii add-ons curtailed for now

Aug 4th 2008 2:56PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I know it would be expensive, but here's what Nintendo should really do:

1. Give the MotionPlus away for free. That's right. They should have a website that allows anyone with a Wii serial code to order up to 4 of these suckers for free, just like they did with the Wiimote sleeves. This will ensure maximum adoption.

2. Release a firmware update that allows for an external hard drive to be plugged in to the Wii via the USB port. This will be important for step 3.

3. Release patches to already released games that allow them to take advantage of the MotionPlus. If Nintendo set an example by doing this for 1st party games, and encouraged 3rd party publishers to follow suite, it would be probably become common practice.

All three of these combined would do a lot to improve the Wii's public image.

No duh: Nintendo already working on next console

I think Iwata was right saying that the hardware is just something you buy in order to play games...keep the focus on the games, not the hardware.

Also, I think that this time around Nintendo should focus on improved hardware specs, better online, and more accurate motion control.

The Hulk bashes his way onto the Wii

@Unbreakable_idea:

I agree. The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was one of the most enjoyable superhero games I've ever played. Not that it didn't have its flaws, but the Hulk + Sandbox gameplay is a winning combination.

Downloadable songs will be stored in internal flash memory built into the guitar controller.

No DS in UK prisons for fear of terrorist attacks

Why on earth would you allow your prisoners to do fun things like play video games? Prison is supposed to be a punishment, remember?

Sorry sir, but you can't bring that dual-screened handheld in here

Maybe he wanted to play it during the numerous advertisements and previews before the movie. I usually bring mine in for that very purpose.

I've always said Nintendo is like the Disney of gaming.

The reviews for this game have been generally favorable. Also, I'm personally enjoying it quite a bit.

DS controls Pokemon Battle Revolution

This sounds great as long as the DSes are optional instead of required. Use of the DS's built-in mic would also be nice for issuing commands.

The easiest homebrew solution yet

Justin, it's funny that you'd act like the very thing you're accusing me of being.

I never said this website DOES encourage piracy. I said this article gives the APPEARANCE of encouraging piracy. I was trying to warn the site's writers to be careful.
