Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus Coming June 8

Nintendo is setting the stage for a blockbuster summer with the announcement of two product releases. The new Wii MotionPlus accessory will hit U.S. retailers on June 8, taking the motion-sensing controls of the Wii to new levels of precision and performance. Wii Sports Resort, which complements the MotionPlus add-on, launches on July 26, offering a beach-themed follow-up to Wii Sports. Each Wii Sports Resort game comes packed with a single Wii MotionPlus accessory.

When used with specially designed games, Wii MotionPlus tracks players’ movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before, building upon the innovative 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. Designed for easy attachment to the Wii Remote controller, the Wii MotionPlus accessory will be offered at the price of $19.99.
