Wii Sports Resort with Motion Plus

Wii Motion Plus Accessory

The Wii MotionPlus accessory plugs into the bottom of the Wii Remote and enhances the motion controller’s functionality; Created by Nintendo to take gaming to the next level. A level that Microsoft and Sony seem to have exceeded. Wii Motion Plus rotates at the same angles as your arm. It’s very accurate.

If you have anticipated a corresponding 100% 1:1 move, you may be a bit disappointed. Some games work better than others and there are many reasons. In real-time processing, any missing or not correctly mapped hand motions must be processed, resulting in some characters and motions appearing jerky. After all, the fine line between realism and reality can easily get confused. Being able to beat Andy Murray in Grand Slam Tennis with Wii Plus is the whole goal behind the game, beating him in Wimbledon with a real racket would be impossible with only VR gaming experience.

The developers’ never-ending search for more realism was, in fact, their shortcoming when a tennis player-like blob named Mii propelled the Nintendo Wii console to the top of the game console best-seller list and has stayed on top since 2006, until now. To those fans of Wii Sports tennis. EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis is much more in-depth, with many more game modes, plus an improved rating system, prizes, online play, and of course MotionPlus controls. Other camps of players are not as willing to spend their money (£15 – £19) to buy MotionPlus, instead only choosing Grand Slam Tennis. Many Wii owners look forward to Wii Sports Resort, the second Wii Sports title to include Motion Plus.
