Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Today, Nintendo announced that it was beefing up its already strong WiiSports Resort package, by bundling it with a second Wii Motion Plus controller. 

The new bundle will be marked on the package, like the one to the left, and will be competitively priced at $59.99, saving the consumer $10 off of the price of buying a second Wii Motion Plus controller. 

I am not sure about anyone else, but it would have been nice for this bundle to have come out when most people were having to buy a second Wii Motion Plus controller to actually play the game in the first place.  As they say, early adopters always get screwed in the end of things.
