As far as expansions go, i'm really unsure here. Don't get me wrong, there have been some awesome add-ons int the past: The n64 had that expansion pack, sure, but donkey kong, majora's mask, and perfect dark more than justified it. I'd like to order a motion plus remote, but is there really any reason to get one other than zelda? Honestly, red steel looks mediocre, and it's the only other required m+ game (well, along with resort and motion) as far as I can see. Is there anything else on the horizon, or are there any titles I could have missed? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

This. Red Steel 2 is TOTALLY worth playing. I had a blast with it! Resort can be some serious fun with friends, as well. I can't speak for WiiPlay Motion and other than that, no... there doesn't seem to be any notable use for it... But between RS2, Zelda, and possibly Resort, it's definitely worth the 20 bucks for the add-on to a standard Wiimote. I don't know how hard they are to find in the bundle, but both Resort and RS2 come with the add-on. I've even seen copies of RS2 bundled with the peripheral in the Wal-marts in my area for 20 bucks.

The only game I've played that I felt was worth buying M+ for was Ghost Slayer on WiiWare. The only ones I ever see mentioned are Red Steel 2 and WiiSports Resort Just buy the special edition Skyward Sword. It would be cheaper than buying a M+ separate.

Wii Sports Resort was lots of fun. Red Steel 2 was okay, although i wouldn't recommend it if you have anything other than a Wii

No, none of my games need motion+, and still I got one like a year ago and it's been collecting dust since then, I'll use it with SS for the very first time.

Red Steel 2 and Wii Sports Resort. Red Steel 2 is one of the most underlooked fps this generation, and presents the standard how the wii motion plus should be handled. Wii Sports Resort is about the mini game collection on the Wii, maybe even this entire generation of gaming.

I think Red Steel 2 is amazing. So far that's the only game I have for my M+ though. I have played a bit of Sports Resort and that's kinda fun too.

It's worth getting MotionPlus for Red Steel 2 alone imo. Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods are also excellent. Red Steel 2 is quite easy unless you play it on Ninja difficulty but the real fun comes from mixing and matching combos and finishing moves. And after you've completed the game playing through the game only using the sword is a ridiculous amount of fun. One of the best games available for the Wii imo.

As said before, Red Steel 2 is very much worth it. Grand Slam Tennis is great if you like tennis games, as is Tiger Woods if you like golf. Conduit 2 is fun while it lasts (I know some people hate HVS), and I am sure that Zelda will be more than worth the cost.

I have seen Red Steel 2 with motion plus still available at some Walmarts for $19.95

For me personally, the fidelity it adds to the control in Wii Sports Resort, Grand Slam Tennis, and Red Steel 2 is astonishing. It is also relatively cheap. I haven't played the Tiger Woods games but I hear it works great with those, too.

That's really helpful, thanks for the replies everyone. Just one other question: are there any games coming out after zelda that will use / need it?

Well, seeing as the Wii-U will use Wii Remotes as well, I can only assume that Motion Plus will become the standard next generation for motion-based games.

After looking at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_Wii_MotionPlus it looks like Skyward Sword is the only upcoming M+ title. Nintendo really dropped the ball with the actual software to back up this awesome peripheral, eh?

I highly doubt many games will use the wiimote next gen.

I know you really believe this, but with motion controls available for the other systems and still a part of the control scheme for Wii U, it would seem as though more games will explore motion controls.

We can all agree that the first generation wiimotes were not a as successful as they should have been. They lacked the 1:1 capability that developers and players would have liked, but I think there is still a lot of interest and strong fits for motion controls. Who would want to switch back to playing Tiger Woods on dual axis cotrols after playing it with motion controls? I also believe there are many advantages to FPS and 3rd person games played with motion/pointer controls.

Yes, the new Nintendo console will have a different controller as its focal point, but motion controlled games are only one great game away from becomming globally accepted. Look how many silly guitar or drum controllers sold because of games like Rock Band.

Wii Sports Resort is pretty good, and every new copy comes with the Wii Motion Plus.

I don't disagree that motion controls are amazing. I don't want to go back to a game pad for stuff like tiger woods or FPS's...let alone a lot of games.

I just don't think developers have any incentive to make motion controled games unless its a mini-game collection. We have had WM+ and Move for over a year now and there's barely any content. I just don't see developers jupping on motion controls, no matter how great they are. I see third party developers porting PS3/360 games and just keeping the same controls. I see nintendo focusing on their new controller instead of their old one.

I don't want to go back to gamepads, but I'm not convinced that publishers want motion controls. There is this image that publishers have that core gamers don't want motion controls.

You'd think so, but seeing as you can only have 1 tablet controller per console, they have to make do for the 3 other players.

Red Steel 2 is the best FPS on the Wii. It has awesome controls, a great singple player campain, and it is tons of fun to fight with a sword and gun at the same time. The only complaint i have with it, game was too short with not enough side quests(no online either, but i dont care about that with most games). But you can always replay the game over and over. Other then RS2 and LoZSS, Wiisports resort is it. There is a couple other games, like a golf one, but thats it

What everybody else has said is correct. Red Steel 2 is great fun, and the best use of motion controls in ANY console game, as far as I'm concerned. (Well, until Skyward Sword comes out, anyway.) Wii Sports Resort is pretty fun too, albeit a bit better with two MotionPlus accessories, as you can get a friend in on the action for Table Tennis. Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10 or '11 also got good reviews, if you're into golf games. And so did NHL 2K10, I believe (or one of those years, at least.)

If you haven't gotten one yet, get a bundle or just get the Zelda bundle. It's only $20 for an extra Wii Remote Plus -- and honestly playing without the accessory on the controller will be more confortable.

I'm really surprised to see all the RS2 love in here, really one of the most underappreciated gems in the library

Not really Not many games use the Wii motion plus other than Legend of Zelda skyward Sword, Red steel 2 and Wii Sports resort, Flingsmash and Wii play Motion are the only other wii games to support Wii Motion plus. I hope nintendo has other games planned?

If you want a Wii U. One controller you would need for Multiplayer is Motion Plus since Nintendo said that the Wii Remote without Motion Plus wouldn't work on the Wii U.

So Wii U is enough reason to get Wii Motion Plus or Wii Remote Plus.
