Whether you just got it yesterday packaged with Wii Sports Resort or have already been using it with a game like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, what are your first impressions of the Wii Motion Plus? Do you find it responds well? Does it make the Wii remote more comfortable or less comfortable to use? I find it responds very well (I picked up Wii Sports Resort along with Tiger Woods yesterday), especially in WSR events such as Air Sports, Table Tennis, and Bowling.
With Tiger Woods 10 mp is revolutionary and there's simply no going back to traditional golf games after you've played it. It's not perfect, mind you, and I'll be looking for improvements in next year's edition. As for Grand Slam Tennis the implementation is somewhat less successful, with much more room for improvement, but again I now don't feel that I could go back to traditional controls. Wii Sports resort has fun controls and is fairly well implemented. Calibration could be better (especially on archery) but overall I can't complain.
Basically, for certain types of games a mp is going to be fantastic if the developers implement it well. However, there will still be many types of games that are better suited to a normal controller.
I use it for Tiger Woods. It's soooooo precise, but it makes golfing a lot harder (my stupid automatic fade to the right lol).

Don't feel too bad, I'm constantly automatically doing draw on my shots. PGA Tour 10 is hard-- I haven't gotten a single birdie and only a handful of pars. Then again, I'm not an expert golfer IRL, so I guess I might just need practice.
It's been very fun testing the accuracy of the attachment. I just hope that Nintendo will implement the technology in their next wii-remote design, hopefully for the next console. Also, I'm really hoping to see the things I've been able to do in wii sports placed into the future games of their other franchises.
Mixed feelings, it works great in Wii Sports Resort but it can get extremely annoying in Grand Slam Tennis. I had some problems hitting accurate shots in GST, but I felt it was just the recalibration of the WM+ and its limitations, but after playing table tennis in Wii Sports Resort, I was surprised how accurate that felt, it makes playing GST feel almost like playing without the WM+.
It's extremely impressive... I don't understand how anyone could say otherwise. They'd have to be pretty jaded. I played Tiger Woods on the 360 afterwards and it just feels silly swinging a club with a stick at this point. Can't go back. Swordplay is just amazing and insanely fun.
The peripheral itself is amazing and really does help somewhat revolutionize gaming for a new generation. But it all depends on how different game developers are able to properly use the WM+ in order to create some truly innovative games that could change the entire landscape of the entertainment industry. Just think about how crazy Nintendo's next console is shaping up to be..... could you imagine playing a WM+ game with 'Gears of War' type graphics?
