Nintendo Unveils Wii MotionPlus

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday July 14, 2008 @07:29AM from the out-to-spoil-someone's-day dept.

Tim MacDonald writes "In a pre-conference announcement at E3, Nintendo has unveiled the newest accessory for the Nintendo Wii — the Wii MotionPlus. The Wii MotionPlus combines with the Wiimote's accelerometers and the Sensor Bar to give true, almost 1:1 matching of motion. More to come during Tuesday's conference." If all these battery mods and add-ons to the Wiimote continue my controller is going to start looking less like a controller and more like a quarterstaff. Looks like the wrist strap is going to have to go through another round of beefing up.

So when's the WiiSuit going to be announced? Stick accelerometers and IR sensors all over a bodysuit and track entire body movement.

  You might end up with a few not so family-oriented games with a suit like that.
  Hell, I can think of one right now: Wii-sure Suit Larry.
