Nintendo may not have got it right with their motion sensing, but for most people its good enough. These are real games, not some sort of gimmick to sell a console. The simple games suit them down to the ground, give them Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3 and they would be lost. Nintendo have created a new breed of “gamers” with the Wii, the casual non-gamer who liked what could be done with Wii Sport or Wii Fit.

Yes Nintendo are going to bundle the Plus with a game, but why should people spend more money just to play a game? How much will it cost? What will it actually bring to a game? Lots of questions but no answers. Why should the developers get off their lazy asses? The Wii Motion Plus is an add-on, an after thought, just another accessory that won't get used much. Wii MotionPLus is surely going to challenge developers of these titles to get off their lazy asses and create games that actually deserve to grace the console. There are dozens of over-simplified casual-type games for Wii that are easy to play, but fail to make use of the Wii Remote. How do you feel about Wii MotionPlus? Let us know in the munity forums. Nevertheless, even a handful of good games each year will probably be enough to appease the Wii crowd. The problem is that we might be waiting some time for many third party developers to get to the required standard that we expect. Yes, the announcement of Wii MotionPlus proves that Nintendo didn't get motion sensing right in the first place, but it also shows that it has recognised this and sought a solution that, in my mind, can only improve the Wii gaming experience.

With Wii MotionPlus, the bad games are going to stand out even more and developers looking to make a quick buck off the back of a movie or popular franchise will hopefully up their game instead of hiding behind old ideas.

While it’s definitely intellectually stimulating from a development perspective to play with those ideas - and I think it does appeal to a set of gamers out there - I think the majority of people that play on the Wii want something very simple that they can just immediately get their heads around.” “I think the temptation with having Wii MotionPlus would have been to push it more in a gestural control scheme. 'I think if we had the MotionPlus to start out with, maybe the control scheme would have worked out a little bit differently,” said Hagger in a phone interview with MTV Multiplayer blog. Nick Hagger,from Blue Tongue Entertainment, the development team behind the action puzzle title “de Blob, believes that MotionPlus may even alienate Wii's casual gaming audience, who he believes seek 'something very simple that they can just immediately get their heads around'.

One third party developer actually believes that Wii Motion Plus could prove to be a headache not only for developers, but also for Wii's largely casual gaming-loving user base. A handful of decent games each year, is that enough?
