Nintendo reveals new Wii-Remote accessory

New Wii-Remote accessory Nintendo is calling "MotionPlus". Press release after the jump.

An announcement has been made from Nintendo today revealing the "MotionPlus" accessory for the Wii-Remote. The attachment supposedly increases precision and accuracy of the Wii-Remote when in use. More information on this attachment is to be expected at Nintendo's Press conference tomorrow. Though it's quite apparent there is an extra attachment slot on the device itself so you may use other attachments while using "MotionPlus". Press release and images below.

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.

  Look like a second gyration hardware that immitates as a classic controller. Two gyration motion sensor with light scope aiming, Wii Remote will be better than ever.

  Anyone want to put a claim on the first party title using this? I claim either a Zelda title, or a refurbished Project Hammer.
