Just picked this up over the weekend. I am thoroughly impressed with the wii motion plus add-on and all of the new games they added into it. The frisbee toss is probably my favorite thusfar. Anyone else grab this yet?

Dunno if I should get that one, though it seems nice.
Can you review it for us? or at least note it's best/worst features?

My grandmother (who has an ebay addiction) has been trying to get this game... So I'll probably end up playing it sooner or later no matter what :D

On the subject of grandmothers: Years ago I worked at GameStop at a local mall and this old woman (she was over 70, I saw her license during transactions) would come in all the time and buy RPG's. For a while I thought they were for her grandson or other relative but one day I asked her about them and she told me that she loves console RPG's and plays them all the time. We then spiraled into a discussion of Breath of Fire 2 and Chrono Trigger. This woman shall forever be the coolest grandmother in the universe.

Lol, my grandmother doesn't know how to do anything other than flick the power switch on her Windows ME machine, and play Solitaire for hours on end.
I think most older people just feel overwhelmed at first and figure it's not something they can ever figure out.

And then there are those like Trufun who manage to actually PROGRAM something. :shock: :lol:

My mom plays Wii. We got the Wii Sports Resort. I am thoroughly impressed with the WiiMotion Plus, and the game is very good. I spent almost 20 minutes the other day on the airplane game trying to land it in the hotel pool [IT WORKED!!!!!].
