After completing and distributing the original Wii remote and Nunchuk, Nintendo started work on the Wii MotionPlus gadget. Whilst the original remotes boasted a revolution in interactive gaming technology, the company soon stated it might be refined even further. The producers called in technical giants AiLive to produce the software accessory.

Wii MotionPlus is employed to identify accuracy to a more refined degree by implementing a dual-axis angular sensor, which interprets movement via both kinetic force and depth perception. In this way, more distinct movements and mannerisms are caught and interpreted by the machine.

The device can be fixed to the existing Wii remote using a special External Extension connector, showing the Wii motionPlus can be removed or affixed according to which title is being played. The feature isn’t compatible with every title in the backlist, and cannot be used together with other peripherals such as the Wii Wheel. However, for the titles which do support the feature, the effect is jaw dropping, with a display of accuracy verging on perfection.

The amount of Wii MotionPlus friendly titles is steadily increasing, and it’s brilliant to see the increased potential of the Wii console being realised. The technology continues to lead the path to a future of innovative gaming which ploughs through standard boundaries- literally putting you into the game!
