Wii Motion Plus Attachment Gamestop
Wii Motion Plus Adapter 2 Pack for Wii Remotes, Lavuky WM03 Wii Motionplus Attachment for Wii Remote Controller -White(3rd-Party Product) 7/10 We have selected this product as being #8 in Best Wii Motion Plus Attachment of 2020. The Wii MotionPlus™ accessory attaches to the end of the original Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive motion sensing when used with compatible games. Wii MotionPlus more quickly and accurately reflects motions in a 3-D space, further enhancing the motion control experience. The Wii Motion Plus attachment simply plugs into your existing Wii mote. The first games to use the adapter have been mainly sports games, and it works amazingly well in games like Tiger Woods Wii PGA Tour Golf 10 and Wii Sports Resort. This new attachment really isn't just a gimmick. Hold down the release buttons on both sides of the Wii MotionPlus accessory and insert the plug into the External Extension Connector on the bottom of the Wii Remote. Wii Motion Plus being inserted.
I swung into the Petaluma GameStop the other day to pick up a backup copy of “Culdcept Saga” they had on hold for me. (I’ve taken my copy in and out of the DVD case so many times it’s started to crack a bit near the spindle, can you believe it? I figured it was best to grab another while the game can still be had for $20.) While I was there, I decided to pick up Wii MotionPlus, the new Wii accessory that allows for more realistic motion tracking in games. A copy of “Wii Sports Resort” (rated E, $50, out Sunday) arrived on my desk last week. It comes bundled with one Wii MotionPlus, but if I want to play the game with my wife or a friend, I’d need an additional MotionPlus.
Wii MotionPlus is supposed to sell for $20, but GameStop charged me $25. Unfortunately, because I was in a hurry, battling a head cold and was buying more than one thing, I didn’t realize I’d paid higher than the suggested retail price until I was sitting at my desk in Santa Rosa. Then I remembered reading a couple of months ago, when GameStop first started taking preorders for MotionPlus, that they were charging more than everyone else for the peripheral. At the time, I kind of shrugged my shoulders, figured the screaming Internet hordes would generate a flood of complaints, and the price would come down by the time I actually bought one.
Well, I was wrong. GameStop is still charging a 20 percent premium for the accessory. I checked the websites for a handful of other large retailers that sell video games — Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon — and they’re all selling Wii MotionPlus for around $20. (I couldn’t find a listing for the standalone device at Game Crazy’s site.) So don’t make the same mistake I did. If you’ve preordered “Wii Sports Resort” from GameStop, pick up that extra MotionPlus somewhere else.
I suppose I should say somewhere that I have no beef with GameStop otherwise. I shop there quite frequently. And the Petaluma store seems merely to be following corporate policy. (Wii MotionPlus is also $25 at gamestop.com.) But why pay $25 when you can only pay $20.
