Nintendo Plans to Show MotionPlus Gadget at E3

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Next month at E3 Nintendo will present their new Wii MotionPlus which will enhance the gaming consoles user experience, increase precision and also make games more realistic. At this time it's estimated the gadget will cost around $19.95 but of course we'll find out more next month. The first game title that will be bundled with the Wii MotionPlus device is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 from Electronic Arts.

Many people are expecting both Sony and Microsoft to unveil motion-control devices for their gaming systems but again only time will tell. It sure would be cool if the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 used this technology as well.

The MotionPlus is a separate attachment that will connect externally to the Wii game console. Other games that will take advantage of this are Wii Sports Resort, Red Steel 2, and Grand Slam Tennis just to name a few.
