Wii MotionPlus Gets Release Date

By Scott Barkman / Tuesday, 14 April 2009

There was much talk about the supposed "problems" with the Wii MotionPlus peripheral that is said to have led to some delays with the release of the device. Whether those problems exist or not are still up for debate, however we do now have a firm release date for both Wii MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort, the game that is set to show the new peripheral off.

Wii MotionPlus is slated for a June 8 release with a price tag of $20. Wii Sports Resort will follow it up a month later on July 26 for a price of $50, which will include a bundled Wii MotionPlus accessory.


I'm not entirely sure why Nintendo wouldn't release the peripheral along side Wii Sports Resort, which will show off the power of the little add on.  It could very well be that Wii Sports Resort wasn't quite ready for launch and in need of a bit of polish, causing Nintendo to delay this information until now. What do you think? Comment below.
