Iwata Promises Cheap Stand-Alone Wii MotionPlus Units
Aug. 4
Today's just barely a quicker news day than Friday, but probably because I've got an entire weekend's worth of goodies to go through. Anyway, some of the bigger Nintendo newsbites are coming from a Wall Street Journal interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Probably the most interesting thing he establishes there is that Wii MotionPlus will be available by itself, and hopefully will be cheap:
WSJ: Will Wii owners be forced to buy a Wii Motion Plus for each controller they own to play newer games?
Mr. Iwata: There will be games that will be enhanced by the Wii Motion Plus as well as games that can only be played with it. Users will need four if they have four controllers, but we're going to try to offer it for as little as possible. We haven't announced the price yet, but the cost of making the Wii Motion Plus is not that much, so I think we can make it very affordable.

I wonder how cheap is cheap. $5? $10? That's cheap.
When will we get an all-in-one controller package, Nintendo? When?
