Nintendo Unveils “Wii MotionPlus”

Just hours before Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, Nintendo has announced “WiiMotionPlus”.

From the press release:

Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

More news will be posted as it becomes available.

    I guess it’s a good thing, but seems like a goofy accessory to release. Why not just improve Wiimotes?

    I agree. If it’s not bad enough that they force you to buy a Wiimote and a nunchuck separately, now they tack on yet another “must have” accessory. Sure, it sounds cool, but these wiimotes are sure getting dang expensive.

    I agree with Sir EightBit. Why not make a WiiMote 2.0 or something, instead of shoving these useless accessories down our throats? Oh wait, yeah, cause it’s Nintendo.

    just another $30. What’s that make, like $120 for a full Wii controller?
