But, behold, Nintendo has announced plans for a new motion-sensitive remote to be released in conjunction with a brand new Wii Sports game - Wii Sports Resort. The new plug-in add-on is meant to make the motion sensing control even more precise. The new MotionPlus remote is capable of sensing motion on all three axis in 3-D space.
This new Wii Sports Resort game and the MotionPlus is scheduled to ship in Spring 2009.
