You will be able to get your hands on the MotionPlus Wiimote starting on June 8th in the U.S. for $19.99. The whole goal here is to make movements more precise in-game and to allow you more functionality within the 3D world of the games like rotation.

The game that’s built for this attachment is called Wii Sports Resort, but that won’t be released until July 16th. However, you can purchase both at that time for $49.99. Not too bad. However, we might just have to pick this gadget up before then to give it a try.

Well, it looks like the MotionPlus controllers for the Nintendo Wii are finally going to hit the U.S. market, as they received at July release date. This comes after the remotes took longer to get official than had been anticipated.
