Nintendo announced the Wii MotionPlus, an updated game controller add-on for the Wiimote which is more accurate. Wii MotionPlus is able to map player hand movements in 3D space, making it function much better compared to the current infra-red motion sensing technology. This peripheral connects to the end of the Wiimote which is a good thing, as you won't need to go all out and purchase yet another controller to leave the old one gathering dust. According to Nintendo, "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."
