Emo-Iwata Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted 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. http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/eM...CJAKWhEO9zBvyPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wii MotionPlus Hands-on Game enthusiasts were eagerly anticipating an announcement for a new motion-control device at E3 this year, but they didn't expect it to come from Nintendo. After all, the company already has a motion-sensing controller in its Wii Remote. Nintendo announced its new Wii MotionPlus accessory in conjunction with a brand-new Wii Sports game, Wii Sports Resort. The MotionPlus add-on plugs in to the bottom of the Wii Remote and works with the remote's sensors to make controls even more precise. We had a difficult time trying to find someone at E3 who could talk about what the Wii MotionPlus actually does. Most of the Nintendo representatives we talked with were fantastic at demonstrating the games, but we didn't get any real technical details until we got in touch with InvenSense, the company that's supplying the gyroscope for the Wii MotionPlus. InvenSense's Joe Virginia, VP of wireless business, was kind enough to explain that the Wii MotionPlus uses multiaxis gyroscopes to sense rotational movement, and combining the MotionPlus' rotation sensing with the Wii Remote's other built-in sensors brings new gaming capabilities to Wii Sports Resort. The Wii MotionPlus has three gyroscopes to track rotational movement across all three axes in 3D space. Wii MotionPlus 1 Wii MotionPlus 2 Wii MotionPlus 3 When you're throwing the Frisbee in the Disc Dog game, the MotionPlus' sensor detects how you're holding the disc in hand. If you rotate your wrist slightly, the Frisbee will rotate up or down onscreen in response. The Wii Remote, MotionPlus, and Nunchuk become handle bars in the Power Cruising Jet Ski racing game. Rotating the Wii Remote with the MotionPlus attached activates the throttle just like on a motorcycle or personal water scooter. The Wii MotionPlus attachment plugs in to the bottom of the Wii Remote. It adds about an inch and a half to the length of the controller and includes a pass-though port for the Nunchuk. The MotionPlus' port cover folds into the Nunchuk's connector to stay out of the way when the Nunchuk is connected. The MotionPlus has a lock that keeps the add-on attached if you're not using the rubber Wii jacket that comes with the accessory. Wii MotionPlus 4 Wii MotionPlus 5 Wii MotionPlus 6 Those eager to get their hands on the Wii MotionPlus will have to wait a while. The Wii MotionPlus is scheduled to ship with Wii Sports Resort in spring 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
