New Standard Wii Package Includes MotionPlus, Wii Sports Resort, Available in Black
by Alice O'Connor, May 03, 2010 5:40am PDTThe Nintendo Wii will be available in black from May 9, Nintendo has announced, when it updates the $199 standard bundle to include Wii Sports Resort and the MotionPlus peripheral in addition to Wii Sports and a controller, as had been rumoured.
"By including even more of our top-quality hardware and software in the basic Wii system package, we're extending that commitment to entertainment and value," said Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime. "Now more than ever, consumers can count on Nintendo to deliver inclusive fun and advanced motion controls at a mass-market price."
The May 5 release date applies only to the USA. Nintendo has yet to reveal when it will hit elsewhere, though according to the earlier rumours it'll invade Canada on May 23.

What the fuck were they thinking?
All they had to do was wiisports resort with motion plus, add motion plus to the default box and ship motion plus on their website for say 15$ US for people and then developers could rely on it.
Now it's going to be one of those half assed things developers can't be sure to target for or not.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
