MotionPlus to be $20, Will Hit Stores on June 8th

Wii fanboys should be a little happier about this next post. Fresh from a Nintendo press release, the new WiiMote attachment MotionPlus, will be shipped into stores on June 8. The price is going to be inexpensive as well, costing you only $20 bucks for the accessory. Although, if you are new to the Wii and purchase the system on the same day, the Wiimote could become a bit pricey. If you wanted to get an extra controller and get the ‘full experience,’ you’ll have to spend $40 for the Wiimote; $20 for the Nunchuk; and now $20 for the MotionPlus, bringing the full price to $80 – yikes! On top of that, you would have to spend $250 on the system and generally $50 for a game(s). So much for the Wii being the cheapest option on the market.

The game that is supposed to bundled with the MotionPlus; Wii Sports Resort, won’t be coming out on the same day. Instead, the casual title will be available in stores on July 26 for $50.

According to MTV, the first actual game to take advantage of MotionPlus is Sega’s Virtua Tennis, which will be sold on May 19th.
