New Accessory: Wii MotionPlus

The Wii MotionPlus is a new accessory for the Wii Remote and it is supposed to capture complex motion, making it more sensitive. I’m not sure what to think since I already feel that the Wiimote is pretty responsive. I plan on trying it but I am afraid that it might be hypersensitive which could be a bad thing. I’m willing to give it a chance, though. 
The device, which connects directly onto the Wiimote is meant to enhance play control on compatible games (see list below). The Wii MotionPlus contains additional sensors that make the Wii Remote respond to the slightest movement, motion, or twist of the wrist.
I can think of a couple occasions where I wished the Wiimote had less “lag.” For example, during the skeet shooting in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, I have often felt that I had moved more accurately than my results suggested. Unfortunately, I don’t think this game is compatible with it.
Here’s a list of games that work with the Wii MotionPlus:
- Virtua Tennis 2009 – SEGA
- Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 – EA Sports
- Grand Slam Tennis – EA Sports
- Wii Sports Resort – Nintendo
Will you buy the MotionPlus? I’d love to hear from you, especially if you’ve tried it!
