Default Who here will buy a Wii MotionPlus add-on?

Vote in the poll above, and while you're at it why not discuss it here as well?

I'll be getting one with Wii Sports Resort, and if I need another one for multiplayer games, then I guess I'll get a standalone one too.

I'll be getting the Wii Sports Resort bundle,
and if that game has a good multiplayer mode, I'd buy a standalone WiiMotion+.

I think I'll get one with Wii Sports Resort and then maybe pick up one of those EA titles down the road if I think it's worth it.

Anyway, I'll probably buy the Wii Sports Resort bundle if the other sports that haven't been revealed yet interest me (surprisingly I'm not sold on doggy frisbee yet, I wonder why).

I don't really understand your title either, but based on the comments, I have an idea on what you ment.

It all depends. It Wii Sports Resort is $50 and Motion Plus alone is $20-30, I get it alone.

I'm not pumped to play catch with a dog, and got water sking anyways. If it were actual sports like the original, yeah sure.

I probably wont get it until a good game that uses it comes out anyways.

Edit: I looked at the poll options, and I don't think "whatso" is a word. "whatsoever" might be a word.

If any game I want utilizes it I will probably get one, but getting one with Resort would just be wasted money for 10 minutes of gameplay, Golf and Tennis isn't my cup of tea either.

I don't have a reason to get Wii Motion Plus so I said no, although there's the possibility that it might be sweet down the line.

I'm interested in it for Wii Sports Resort (yes, I'll be getting that puppy, because those games are awesome to play when I'm home visiting my parents and sisters) and potentially for Red Steel 2 (since I'm diggin' the new art style). More is sure to come.

Both. WSR will probably have a few fun games that will pull in the whole family. Plus you get the dongle for a bit cheaper. Also, the Jet Ski mode is being made by the people that did Wave Race 64 and they plan to make the WSR Jet Ski game just as in depth as that.

I want to have two M+ for the 2-player sword dueling and for any future games that will use it. There is the new Clone Wars game coming this Fall that may use it as well.

I thought it was asking where I'll be when Wii Motion Plus hits(On the can most likely).

Yeah, I'll be getting it with Wii Sports Resort, if I get it at all.

Yep, I'll be buying mine with Wii Sports Resort too. I want to wait and get it when there's more options, but my fanboyism probably won't let me.

I'll get with with WSR, unless that game turns out to suck (which I doubt), or something.

I am waiting for a bigger game to play this with, just then I will buy at least one if it isnt boxed with the game and that game could be a game such as the new Zelda.

I might get Wii Sports Resort. There's no reason to buy a "stand-alone" unless you're getting it for multiplayer. I know someone who's planning on getting a "stand-alone" but he's not planning on getting a game that uses it. I questioned the timing. Why not wait until something comes out that he likes.......

I think Jogurt has it down. Buy WSR and get the second motion plus with RS2 or something else.

I was at a Toy R' Us last night and they had around 100 Wii Motion Plus sitting on an end cap waiting to be purchased. I can't imagine there being a huge demand for them right now and I was right.

I guess that the average Wii owner doesn't know what those are, wait and see after Resort is out.

Had any time to test it yet? Haven't really heard from anyone how well it translates your motion to the game.

Unless games are not going to pack it in, like RS2, there should be no need to buy a stand alone. If Tiger Woods packs it in, Wii Sports Resort packs it in, and 2 other games pack it in, you will have your 4 and have 4 games to enjoy as well...the stand alone only stands to serve the type of people who get something like WSR and don't have the patience to wait to play with 4 friends and need to get the other three right away....my opinion of course, but just seems strange on Nintendo's part when it comes to this peripheral...

I can't see the necessity in buying one now, or indeed the 2nd Tech Demo, Wii Sports Resort.

If it comes with a flagship title like SMG2 or the new Zelda so much the better

But if this add-on makes "The Waiter" form actually possible to do, then Yes I'll buy it straight away

I just picked up my first MotionPlus bundled with the latest fully-featured retail game in the Wii series today. I'll hold off on another one because the only person who'd really want to come and play WSR with me right now already has his own MotionPlus as well.

Eh, on second thought, I may not get a WiiMotion Plus at all, at least, not until some good games come out for it, anyways.

As usually, there's no great poll option for me.

I'll most likely be getting it with Wii Sports Resort, but who knows what might happen.

I bought Wii Sports Resort (which is excellent, by the by), and decided to get a second Motion Plus on its own, as none of the bundled games appealed enough for me to pay the extra cost. I'm holding off on buying any further Wiimotes or Motion Pluses at this point, as I have a sneaky suspicion that there will be a combined version released, perhaps around Christmas.

Same here. Table Tennis and Swordplay are even more awesome when playing against friends.
