Wii MotionPlus Available in UK and Europe in June

After it was unveiled last summer, the Wii MotionPlus, a new accessory from Nintendo designed to improve the accuracy of the orginal Wiimote has been given a launch date of June 12 2009.

Although no final price has been given, all the signs point to efforts on Nintendo's part to make the device as affordable as possible, and it will ship free with the first game that makes use of its functionality, Wii Sports Resort.

Other games slated to benefit from the new, more accurate remote include Red Steel 2 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.
