Thoughts:
9 weeks! Amazon.com hasn't had Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board in stock for the last 9 weeks when I've checked for it.
Being curious as to when/if they were getting it back in stock, I contacted Amazon.com and was told they have sent a request to the "manufacturer", in this case Nintendo, and that Amazon.com should have Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board back in stock within 20 business days.
If they get it back in stock at the end of March, that will be nearly three full months that Amazon.com will have been out-of-stock of Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board.
Something interesting that was reported(GoNintendo) and confirmed(VGChartz) last week is that a new Wii bundle is being sold at Wal-Mart.
The new bundle includes the Wii
system, Wii Sports
, and now Wii Sports Resort, as well as a WM+
accessory with the regular Wii Remote
and Nunchuck
. The price for the new bundle is $199.99, essentially giving buyers of the bundle Wii Sports Resort for free.
I was in a local Wal-Mart this past Saturday morning and saw the bundle sitting on the shelf and a customer purchase one of the bundles, while I was in electronics.
I'm glad to see Nintendo getting WM+ out to more Wii owners, and I guess it's a sign they are going to try and make it a new standard of control for Wii games.
Question:
Do you think Nintendo is going to start including a WM+ accessory with every Wii system that is sold, as they are doing with the Wii bundle currently at Wal-Mart locations?

I'd like to see a wii-remote that brings the device into the original wii-remote's form factor, and that way, just have it built into every remote. I guess there'd have to be some little cosmetic difference so you could tell them apart, but that'd be cool in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteNSMB Wii was a joy to play, but was just too short as I somehow passed over 2 worlds. :(
ReplyDeleteI definitely think Nintendo is going to try and implement the WM+ in the future Wii's they sell. Isn't that what they did with the Wii remote protector? Or as my friend likes to call it, the Wii condom.
ReplyDelete@Chuckpebble:
ReplyDeleteA developer last year thought the Wii Remotes w/ WM+ built in were coming pretty soon, but nothing has happened yet. I'm wondering if they will release them, or if they'll just keep on bundling the controllers with the separate attachment.
@Keith:
I find it crazy how NSMBW has more hours played, "Per person", than either Wii Sports Resort or Wii Fit Plus.
NSMBW is a short game, but the average play-time proves that people are playing the game through several times, or something!
@Nicodemus at Nite:
Yea, Nintendo didn't include the Wii Remote protector at first. Now every system includes one, and you can't buy a Wii Remote now that doesn't include one.
Thanks for the comments!
