Nintendo Announce Wii MotionPlus


Although E3 hasn't even officially begun yet, the announcements have already started to flow. Nintendo has just announced that it will be releasing a new Wii accessory. But before you roll your eyes, this one sounds a lot more exciting than the Wii Zapper.

The Wii MotionPlus plugs into the bottom of the Wii Remote and allows for true 1:1 motion control, perfectly tracing motions in 3D space. The possibilities for this are endless, but a million thoughts are definitely drooling in unison at the idea of a lightsaber game using this accessory. With announcements like this, you definitely don't want to miss our E3 coverage, so keep it locked to NZGamer all this week. As for the Wii MotionPlus, check out the press release below and let us know what you think!



NINTENDO INTRODUCES THE WII™ MOTIONPLUS
July 14, 2008
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.
