Hands-on With the Wii MotionPlus

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.

the wii...wouldnt it be cheaper and more fun to get off your ass, pick up a golf club and hit a few balls?

the wii, at the risk of a trollmod, seems like a toy for fat lazy kids. they sell an accessory wiifit waterbottle that, lets not pretend, likely sees more mountain dew than water in the average home.
for those who already have a wii, try my new "total reality" game where you buy a tennis racket and some balls. its perfectly acceptable to hit the courts dressed as mario or luigi however princess peach is firmly restricted to female players.
