Although its E3 conference isn’t scheduled to begin until tomorrow, Nintendo is already making waves with an announcement for the Wii MotionPlus, a control-enhancing accessory for the Wii Remote controller.

By attaching to the end of the Wii Remote, the Wii MotionPlus provides a “true 1:1 response” in gameplay, allowing “for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion.”

Sounds interesting. Even more interesting is that Nintendo rushed to send this out before Microsoft’s conference today. Expect the Wii MotionPlus to be demoed at E3 tomorrow.

NINTENDO INTRODUCES THE WII™ MOTIONPLUS

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.
