So what exactly does this thingy do?
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.

In July Nintendo will release a sequel to the very popular Wii Sports named Wii Sports Resort. According to rumours the game will feature 10 new games (Frisbee, Jet Skiing and Kendo are some of them) and takes place on the island known from Wii Fit.
