This week Nintendo announced a new Wii Sports Resort bundle that features two Wii MotionPlus units would be going on sale October 12. Since Wii Sports Resort needs multiplayer to shine just as much as the original Wii Sports, this bundle is roughly twice as good as the standard deal that only includes one MotionPlus. The price is a steal, too: the two-MotionPlus bundle goes for $59.99, only ten bucks more than the one-MotionPlus bundle. Individual MotionPlus units sell for $19.99 apiece.
The current bundle is intended for 2009 holiday shopping and is a "while supplies last" deal. Wii Sports Resort has sold 1.25 million copies in the two months it's been out, so I have hard time believing the holiday bundle's reserves are going to be all that limited. If you want to get this before Christmas, you probably will. Nintendo's reporting 2.9 million MotionPlus units in gamer hands, too, so you probably won't lack for MotionPlus titles in the long run. Basically, if you care at all about getting MotionPlus and don't have it already, you'll want to pull the trigger this holiday season.
