What's more, these control enhancements will be on display when the Wii Sports Resort game launches on July 26, offering a follow-up to the groundbreaking Wii Sports game. Wii Sports comes packed with the Wii console.
When used with specially designed games, Wii MotionPlus tracks players' movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before, building upon the wireless function of the motion-sensing Wii Remote controller.
Even the slightest twist of the wrist or turn of the body is replicated exactly on the TV screen, allowing users to become even more immersed in Wii game play, according to Nintendo. The Wii MotionPlus accessory will be offered at an MSRP of $19.99 (~ £13, €15).
Wii Sports Resort takes the inclusive and fun controls of the original Wii Sports to the next level, introducing a whole new set of entertaining and physically immersive activities.
With the deep control enhancements of Wii MotionPlus, veteran Wii users and newcomers alike can enjoy unprecedented gaming precision as they cruise on a water scooter, duel with swords, throw a Frisbee and much more. Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus will be offered together at an MSRP of $49.99 (~ £34, €38).
