Nintendo fanboys wondering when the much anticipated Wii Motion would finally be released got the info they crave as Nintendo has announced the June 8, 2009 release of Wii Motion Plus. For those who don’t know, the new accessory takes the motion-sensing controls of the Wii to new levels of precision and performance by tracking players’ movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before (1:1 motion). Additionally, the Wii Motion Plus enhanced Wii Sports Resort will launch on July 26, offering a beach-themed follow-up to the rather popular Wii Sports game.

“Wii Motion Plus represents a new evolution in video game control. The variety of fun games in Wii Sports Resort show off its incredible precision,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Developers around the world are busy working on new ways to incorporate Wii MotionPlus controls into inventive experiences for consumers.”

Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus will be offered together at an MSRP of $49.99. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.
