NINTENDO INTRODUCES THE WII™ MOTIONPLUS
July 14, 2008
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.

Sounds great. Looks like this will work great with the new Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels game coming out this winter.

Its too bad that its not supported for that game. I think later next year sometime is when we will see the first true lightsaber game for wii. Once Lucas arts has all the high profile games out like the force unleashed, fracture and Indiana Jones... then they will look at the wii.

Star Wars The Clone Wars is going to be the true lightsaber game. And how do you know that the game won't support the add on?

I think that it is rumored to be one of the first games to support the add-on (along with Wii Sports Resort.)

After the nintendo E3 press event on g4, they asked about a true lightsaber game and they said unfortunately clone wars doesnt use motion plus.

This pretty much confirms it too.
