So who's looking forward to this thing? It's out at the beginning of June and I haven't heard a lot of excitement for it yet. You will be able to buy it with Tiger Woods 10 for $60 ($10 for the peripheral, $50 for the game), or you can buy it on it's own for $20.

If you don't know what it is ...



My hope is that this peripheral will get the wii a little closer to what we had envisioned how the wii would actually work. My biggest issue with the wii right now is that they didn't necessarily do anything revolutionary with the control, they merely replaced a button press with a remote waggle.

This however could be the control I was hoping for and my fingers are crossed that they don't totally screw it up. True 1:1 control means a game could tell how you were holding the wiimote. Imagine the possibilities with sword fighting, golfing or any other type of game?

I'm wondering why there isn't more interest for this. My wii hasn't even been plugged in since I moved back in September, but I may actually pick this thing up. Is it possible wii owners are just peripheraled out? I'm willing to give this system one more chance.

There is a youtube video that shows the Nintendo people showing off the peripheral, but it's widely regarded to painfully cheesy and uncomfortable to watch. This is a tech demo that I feel gets the point across in a much better way. I've skipped the video to the cool(er) part.
