Save money with the Wii Sports Resort for 2 bundle

Now that the Nintendo Wii is US$199, there are two ways to go about using your savings: Putting it in a low-risk bank account, or buying the rest of the peripherals Nintendo wants you to have to complete your Wii experience. Wii Fit notwithstanding, the biggest new plug-in Nintendo has is Wii MotionPlus, the motion sensor enhancement that plugs into the back of every Wii remote. And, sadly, they're still not included with the Nintendo Wii.

In an attempt to make amends, Wii Sports Resort is now selling a US$59.99 bundle that includes two MotionPlus accessories instead of just one. It's a US$10 savings over getting the US$49.99 Wii Sports Resort and a second US$19.99 MotionPlus separately. Honestly, it's a wise investment if you're going to buy Wii Sports Resort, since many of the games are two-player and require two MotionPlus accessories anyway.

These little discounts are appreciated, but it's still surprising that Nintendo's not simply releasing a Wii bundle that includes Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus inside. US$250 for a Wii bundle that has both versions of Wii Sports and two controllers with MotionPlus...how about it, Nintendo? We can always dream.

We've been told that the Wii Sports Resort with two Wii MotionPlus bundle will not be available in Asia, for now. That said, the Wii Sports Resort bundle with a single Wii MotionPlus is available at a retail price of S$84.90 (US$61.13).
