My wife arranged a Wii Motion Plus party with Nintendo last Sunday. We had a blast! Nintendo provided ice cream, ice cream scoops, ice cream bowls, Wii+ controllers and two copies of the Wii Motion game. What fun!
A few more than ten people showed up, including the kids. Four of us, names drawn at random, would grab the remotes and play a round, then the next four. One of the best, and most original, games is Spooky Search (aka. 'the Ghostbusters' game as we call it). The Wii keeps tracks of a 'ghosts' somewhere in the room, invisible to us, of course. As you point the remote around the room it begins to beep as you get closer to the ghost. Upon finding the ghost, you have to push the button down and drag him to the ghost chest on the screen. Some ghosts are easy, but others are stronger and require teamwork to beat.
This is almost as fun to watch as it is to play. Everyone yelling "to the left, to the left" while the poor searchers try to lock in on the ghost. I can only hope Nintendo releases a full version of this game with some more challenges/puzzles aspects. By itself, this was worth it.
We have to do this again someday!
