'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.'


Pre-emptive strike to Microsoft's superior Motion tech?

More excitingly, no company announces big hardware changes without a major game to back it up, or give it away with. Otherwise, your audience gets cut in half and trouble begins. So, are we going to see something big, like Wii Sports 2, or the long rumoured Wii Music game, that'll amaze us all like the Wii originally did over 2 years ago?
