OK, so the first M+ game is coming from EA, not Nin. So I buy the M+ (x2) and then this game ($90 later) just to play tennis. I think I'll wait for WiiSports Resort to come out.
Can. Not. Wait. This is my most anticipated game of all time - I kid you not.
@LoopyLuigi: You can buy M+ alone for $19.99. Yes it's still a ripoff.
Actually that's $24.99 here in Canada.
