Nintendo today announced that the all-new Wii Motion Plus controller will be available in shops starting June 8, 2009. The new Wii MotionPlus attachment takes the motion-sensing controls of the Wii console to new levels of precision and performance. What's more, these control enhancements will be on vibrant display when the Wii Sports Resort game launches on July 26, offering a beach-themed follow-up to the original Wii Sports compilation. Each Wii Sports Resort game will come packed with a single Wii MotionPlus controller, but fans will be able to buy the peripheral on its own starting in June. You may want to consider a pre-order, since demand for the new device is expected to be high.

When used with specially designed games, Wii MotionPlus tracks players' movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before, building upon the wireless function of the current Wii Remote controller. Even the slightest twist of the wrist or turn of the body is replicated exactly on the TV screen, allowing users to become even more immersed in Wii game play. Designed for easy attachment to the Wii Remote controller, the Wii MotionPlus accessory will be offered at an MSRP of $19.99.

Wii Sports Resort takes the inclusive, fun and intuitive controls of the original Wii Sports to the next level, introducing a whole new set of entertaining and physically immersive activities. With the deep control enhancements of Wii MotionPlus, veteran Wii users and newcomers alike can enjoy unprecedented gaming precision as they cruise on a water scooter, duel with swords, throw a Frisbee and much more. Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus will be offered together for the bundled price of $49.99.

You can pre-order both the Wii Sports Resort game and MotionPlus attachment at
Amazon for $49.
