We’re hearing that Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory is beginning to ship from Amazon, with preorder customers receiving emails telling them their Wiimote add-on is on its way. The MotionPlus dongle, which clips onto the base of the Wii’s controller, went up for preorder back at the start of May, priced at $19.99; it brings with it greater motion recognition accuracy.
Amazon US have begun accepting pre-orders for the Wii MotionPlus, in the process confirming the previous tip that the accessory will begin shipping on June 8th. Priced at $19.99, the MotionPlus promises increased accuracy and “enhanced play control” for compatible titles.
Don’t you just love when things get official? Nintendo has finally set a release date for their new MotionPlus Wiimote accessories and wouldn’t you know that it’s right around the corner.
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.
After reports yesterday that Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory was facing delays, the company has struck back with a somewhat sneaky denial. According to the latest rumors, technical difficulties had pushed the MotionPlus launch back from its originally expected June; however according to Nintendo, it’s not been delayed because they haven’t actually officially confirmed it.
Nintendo’s MotionPlus accessory for the Wii’s Wiimote controller may be facing a delay, with the company rumored to be “trying to figure out a few hiccups” before the attachment launches. That’s the word from the IGN Wii podcast, which suggests the Wii MotionPlus is causing engineers inside Nintendo unexpected amounts of trouble.
