MotionPlus

The device hooked up to the Wii Remote.

Wii MotionPlus

The Wii Remote with a Wii MotionPlus.

Wii MotionPlus was an accessory that was placed in the extension port at the bottom of the Wii Remote; however, the Nunchuk could still be used. Wii MotionPlus supplements the accelerometer and Sensor Bar, and allows for more precise actions to be replicated in-game.

The accessory came packaged with Wii Sports Resort, though the player could purchase them separately as well. Once attached, the device didn't need to be removed to play original Wii games.

Wii Remote Plus

The Wii Remote Plus Controller.

They were eventually succeeded by the Wii Remote Plus, which contains MotionPlus technology but doesn't require the accessory.

History

It was announced on July 14, 2008, a day before Nintendo's E3 2008 press conference. During the conference, they showed off the device along with Wii Sports Resort, a game the accessory would come packaged with. Also accompanying the device is a longer Wii Remote jacket so that it covers both the remote and the Wii MotionPlus.

During the E3, Wii Sports Resort producer Katsuya Eguchi explained that Nintendo could possibly in the future create Wii Remotes with this funcionality already built into it.

Development on the Wii MotionPlus started directly after development on the regular Wii Remote was finished, according to global Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
