Wii MotionPlus unvailed

Nintendo surprisingly pulled the curtains back on a new attachment for the Wii Remote prior to E3. Details and press release below:
Nintendo's upcoming Wii™ MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote™ controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player's arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo's commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

Check the image again, they made a second Jacket to go along with it. So much for the old ones. (Perhaps it will come packaged with the MotionPlus.) Also, it looks as if a nunchuck can still be plugged in to the other side, which is great news.

GW will be contacting Nintendo about testing it out with some compatible software, and we will keep you posted. For now, just wait until Nintendo's press conference at E3 tomorrow.
