Nintendo Wii ForumWii Forum featuring Wii Friend Codes, Wii Message Board and more.

Below is what Nintendo has said so far, and they will be releasing more information on Tuesday. This new accessory will probably prove most useful in games involving sword combat or certain sports. Nintendo should have had this be part of the original remote, but either way this is still good news because it’s better late then never.

“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.”
