Game maker Electronic Arts (EA) is releasing two games using the MotionPlus technology, which is the technology that Nintendo is adding that gives the Wiimote even more detailed control.

Does it?  I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t say for sure.

From Nintendo’s website:

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.

Sounds pretty interesting, right?

EA’s two games - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and and unnamed EA tennis game, will both employ the MotionPlus technology.  Exciting!

Thanks, Kotaku!

That’s right!  Accessories company NYKO is releasing a Wiimote controller for the Wii.  I’ve been pretty happy with the rest of NYKO’s accessories, and it looks like this is going to be another good one.

From Gizmodo’s article:

In testing the Wand with Wii Sports bowling and just browsing through the menus, I didn’t notice any quality/responsiveness issues (though, we probably won’t be able to judge its precise calibration until mass amounts of users post their impressions after release.) Since the Wiimote isn’t a 100% perfectly responsive device as it is, it’s tough to tell if anything has been lost in Nyko’s translation.

We’re looking forward to these!  Check out the NYKO line at Amazon - they have tons of gear for a lot of platforms.
