It comes bundled to the freaking sequel of Wii Sports, that alone guarantees millions of people have M+. Then it's also bundled with the newest EA games, which you know many people buy, and I think it was also bundled with Red Steel 2, which many are hyped for. So yeah, I don't think that'll be much of a problem even if it isn't bundled, it worked for Majora's Mask.
I guess it's just me, but in that entire list Red Steel was the only thing that had me the least bit interested, and that was marginally so.
3rd party bundles are a surprise, I must say, I guess Nintendo really is serious about it. Then again, and maybe this is just me personally, but I think Zelda could push M+ distribution a lot harder than any of those titles mentioned above.
And about Wii Sports, it's big, but that's because outside of Japan it's free. Wii Play, next best seller, is effectively 10 bucks with purchase of remote. Wii Sports Resort is effectively $30 with purchase of M+, so they are pushing the value position further than their previous two casual heavy-hitters did.
I guess part of me questions the necessity of the device beyond swordplay (and frankly is still peeved that Nintendo didn't try a little harder with Twilight Princess; even without 1:1, some sense of direction should have been doable). All I hear about for M+ is sports titles. Well, my favorite sports games on the Wii thus far are Punch-Out!! and Mario Power Tennis. Neither accept, or need, M+. So I need to see more, and I'm hoping the new Zelda delivers. Red Steel 2 is fine and dandy, but I'm just more of a fantasy gamer. It's not that I don't see the potential, I do. It's just that, like the Wii mic, I'm not seeing the practice. Yet. Hoping that changes.
