Introducing Wii MotionPlus, Nintendo's upcoming accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote

2008-07-14

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.

Ehhh...?

They did, this adaptor is to help 3rd party developers to better map 1:1 movement. Nintendo's games always had better movement detection than other companies', the WMP has more accurate sensors and will make it easier on the third party to develop accurate motion controls.

yeah baja is right. Nintendo's games have always been pretty good with the motion controls... For the most part, its been the third parties that blow with mapping them...

Come on guys, this is a placebo to help people like me who have complained about the Wiimote, but been immediately set straight here and explained I notice problems because I'm "doing it wrong."

Well there is the condom attachment on the front, so why not have a butt-plug?
