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 players 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 Nintendos 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.

Interesting that they announce this now. Do they know something about what Microsoft will be showing today?

TheKingsCrown · Jul 14, 2008

:lol And Nintendo wins again by changing both their console and controller in a very accessible way.

Competition pre-owned.

Varjet · Jul 14, 2008

Is that thing an additional accelerometer or what?

pxleyes · Jul 14, 2008

Hellsing321 · Jul 14, 2008

Oh snap! Real 1:1! Hope Lucasarts is paying attention.

titiklabingapat · Jul 14, 2008

providing a true 1:1 response in their game play.

This thread is about to explode.

MaddenNFL64 · Jul 14, 2008

Holy shit. I want a demo of this on stage

Now we can get a REAL friggin light sabre game. Or whatever the hell else needed 1:1 to work well. Red Steel 2 uses this maybe? Fuck i'm excited now!

Operations · Jul 14, 2008

Which game could they possibly design this for?

jj984jj · Jul 14, 2008

It should be free... and inside the remote.

volmer · Jul 14, 2008

Well hello there.

markatisu · Jul 14, 2008

So its like wiimote 2.0?

Wonder if this is for the rumored Punch Out

Jethro · Jul 14, 2008

Wtf 1:1 Controls? Megaton!

WiiRevolution1 · Jul 14, 2008

Dang you beat me D:

Anywayz: Sounds pretty cool!

Cant wait to see it in action.

Rogultgot · Jul 14, 2008

Do I need to buy it?

JBuccCP · Jul 14, 2008

Interesting.....so does it just make the controller more precise?

watkinzez · Jul 14, 2008

So... what the wiimote should have been in the first place?

Kildace · Jul 14, 2008

Well done and unexpected Nintendo. What's the true cost of one Wii controller now when including the Wiimote, nunchuck and MotionPlus? Gotta be close to $80!

Evlar · Jul 14, 2008

What the hell.

Zissou · Jul 14, 2008

Finally good sword-play?

Jammy · Jul 14, 2008

Did not see this coming...

Will we see newly-announced games reflect this?

Zelda?
Red Steel 2?
Icarus?
Star Wars?

Relix · Jul 14, 2008

Wow....

they beat the others without the conferences even starting :lol

VanMardigan · Jul 14, 2008

pics? nintendo.com is blocked here at work.

LazerShark · Jul 14, 2008

The only reason Wii games would need any better tracking is if they're programmed badly. This better be a teaser for the REAL fucking goods.

Threi · Jul 14, 2008

oh wow.

shit just got real

RBH · Jul 14, 2008

Nintendo wins again.

funkmastergeneral · Jul 14, 2008

I like how they have the Wiimote in the name, very catchy. Hope it's not too pricey though, fuck the balance board and the wheel

Talamius · Jul 14, 2008

I said wow.

Wollan · Jul 14, 2008

I don't understand.

The built-in one isn't good enough?

neo2046 · Jul 14, 2008

wow~

Costanza · Jul 14, 2008

Dies Iræ · Jul 14, 2008

Absolutely unexpected and unprecedented.

Nintendo just blew away E3.

Edit: Wii Sports 2 would probably make sense given this attachment.

Teknoman · Jul 14, 2008

1:1?!

Then that means Zelda...

ITS ON NOW!!

pxleyes · Jul 14, 2008

talk about taking the wind out of MS's sails.

DefectiveReject · Jul 14, 2008

MS leak possible wiimote details.

Nintendo steals the show

You know they're gonna have software to show this off with.
