• Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus add-on makes the Wii Remote a true 1:1 motion controller
  Which is, y'know, what we thought it was in the first place. But still - great news!

• "Give up tea? I'd rather suffer the mid-afternoon slump"
  A paean to addiction.

"So far as I understand so far it's not going to be standard - it's going to be an addon"

"Apparently Nintendo can't decide if MotionPlus should be integral to Wii remotes, or if "it might be good to keep it as an attachment we only use for certain software".

Aside from that, yeah you're probably right. I'd be surprised if it's used in more than a handful of first party titles though.

Ooh, that's interesting.

Well, if they do build them into the "next-gen" remotes then they'll be used a lot more - especially if the addon is cheap.

I hope they do - I'd like to have more accurate wiimotes for some far-flung-future day when we get to actually play a Wii game with lightsabers :->
