That's great news, I am actually very surprised. Not to sound like a shill, but you gotta give Nintendo credit for not being money-grubbers when they easily could, they generally throw the customer a bone every now and then.

I was more surprised to learn that the Wii Fit Plus game disk "update" (sans Balance Board) will be available for like $20 as well. Say what you want about Wii Fit, but I think we all know they could get away with charging a lot more for that, easily..

I agree that is good news. It kinda irks me though(and I assume others who bought Resort at release), since I have to spend $10 more to get a second Wii Motion Plus (Resort and 1 WMP for $50 + 1 WMP for $20 vs. getting the game and 2 WMPs for $60).

It also is sort of interesting because I just read an interview with Denise Kaigler where she said they wouldn't do a revised Wii bundle that came with Resort and Wii Motion Plus rather than the first Wii Sports. I'm just wondering if that sort of deal would help or hurt them.

Hum, I wonder why this is really happening. It isn't because it makes a great value to the customer, nice spin though Cammie. Me thinks the install base is too low to merit actually producing and developing games for the add-on and they are trying to find a way to get more of them out there... maybe another forgotten peripheral of this gen?

@ Adam: "maybe another forgotten peripheral of this gen?"

Well... it's already sold at least 5 million and is still selling really well, so I'd count that idea out. I think what they really want is for this game to start driving hardware sales.
