MotionPlus for June debut?

 

Published 3/5/2009 at play.tm

Out before Grand Slam Tennis, we're told The Wii-capability extending MotionPlus device, an attachment for the Wiimote which makes it more sensitive, could be set to arrive come June according to rumours online today. According to a new Nintendo Power magazine article, MotionPlus will debut in advance of Grand Slam Tennis, which makes use of the technology. Grand Slam Tennis has been dated for release on June 18th. Other sources already suggest that a June launch is on the money, although Nintendo have refused to be drawn on any of this idle chit-chat, sadly. MotionPlus will also be used in Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Red Steel 2, and of course first-party giant Wii Sports Resort. We'll bring you all the latest on this as we get it. (link)
