Nintendo Announce Motion Plus

In case you haven’t heard it’s E3 and the first big surprise goes to Nintendo with the MotionPlus. it’s an add on to the control that allows it to have complete 1:1 response to what your doing. Seems impressive if it actually works. Nice of Nintendo to announce it before Microsoft’s Press Event as well. Expect some awesome demonstrations of it tomorrow at Nintendo’s conference.

Press Release is as follows

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.
