Hands-on With the Wii MotionPlus

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday April 19, 2009 @07:12PM from the high-fidelity-waggling dept.

Parz writes "In June, Nintendo will be releasing a peripheral called MotionPlus. This small device attaches to the bottom of the Wii-mote and acts as a more sophisticated motion-sensor to the controller as it currently stands. Its goal is to bring greater parity between a user's movements and the animations that they bring to life on-screen. Gameplayer got some hands-on time with the device, and they are extremely impressed." The MotionPlus will only affect new games; Nintendo has said they have no plans to add support for older titles. Virtua Tennis 2009 will be the first game to support it, and Eurogamer has a look at the game both with and without the MotionPlus.

How we know is more important than what we know.

...you've lost me as a customer and no, I won't be buying a Wii again.
How many were you planning on buying?
