This is pretty interesting. It’s the first time we’ve heard of an official controller in which the Wiimote and MotionPlus are actually attached. One has to wonder if Nintendo will make the “Wii Remote Plus” available as a standalone product.

Donkey Kong Country Returns GameStop pre-order bonus

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments

“Pre-order Donkey Kong Country Returns and receive a GameStop exclusive Banana Pouch for your Wii Remote. Available for online and in-store customers only while supplies last.”

It’s an interesting bonus, but I don’t know how often I’d use it. Still, something is better than nothing, and I was planning on purchasing the game anyway. This just makes the deal sweeter.
