Wii Motion Plus Out In June, Wii Sports Resort In July
Starting June 8th you’ll be able to waggle your Wiimote as never before. That’s the date when Nintendo is releasing Wii Motion Plus, an add-on which significantly ups the sensitivity of the motion controls. Thus far there aren’t many games that are offering support for this peripheral.
You might expect that Nintendo would be rushing Wii Sports Resort out the same day as it releases in order to drum up sales for the $20 peripheral. It turns out that’s not the case though. The beach-themed game will be released on July 26th, with a Motion Plus peripheral included with every copy of the game.
You’ll be able to throw a frisbee, race on jetskiis and even duel with swords. What resort involves sword dueling is beyond me, but since the mini-games are all designed to showcase the new potential for control schemes it’s unsurprising they fit that in there somehow.
