Wii MotionPlus
Amazon.com
Simple. Intuitive. Easy to use. Connect the Wii MotionPlus accessory to your Wii Remote controller to increase accuracy and enhance play control on compatible games. Look on the back of Wii Game Disc packaging to see which games are specially designed for use with Wii MotionPlus. Wii MotionPlus contains additional sensors that make the Wii Remote respond to the slightest movement, motion, or twist of the wrist. Wii MotionPlus must be used with a Wii Remote, which is sold separately.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2009Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseI've only been using it for a few days, but it seems to be working just fine. I got one with the Wii Sports Resort game, and I grabbed another from Amazon for 2-person play. I also use it with the Tiger Woods 10 game. It seems to make the 3-dimensional movement of the Wii controller a lot more accurate (not including the IR-based pointing actions). It's easy to hook up, and it doesn't require its own batteries. I don't know why Nintendo didn't just design the original Wii controller better to begin with.
It's only an inch or two long, but the added length on the Wii remote makes it easier to hold with 2 hands for games like Swordplay or Golf. It is also possible to connect the MotionPlus and the Wii Nunchuck together for games that use both. Once connected, there's really no reason to remove the MotionPlus. Now that I think about it, though, I bet it would interfere with something like an automatic battery charging cradle. But it's easy enough to connect and disconnect as needed.
If you don't have any games that specifically require the MotionPlus accessory, then I wouldn't worry about purchasing it. But, for the games that have been designed for it, I think it results in much more accurate and fun gameplay.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2009Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseOkay, first off, if you are going to compare this with playing the real sport...stop! It's a video game and that's how it plays like. So say "I play tennis and it's nothing like the real thing" Duh! For those of you complaining about the calibration on sword fighting, I have noticed it too, but not as bad as you make it out to be. It works well and yes I did too have to calibrate after sometime, but I only had to do that on the sword fighting, the other 11 games seemed to work great. And for those people that said that this should have come free with Wii or with the game. Please...does Nintendo owe you free stuff when they come out with it? No, if you want it...buy it, if not, then don't. Simple. They are a business to make money and that is what they are going to do...and you know what, they are doing a great job of it too. Lastly, for the few that said it's not the easiest thing to put on and take off. It's not that hard. Much easier then putting it in and taking it out of the guitar for Guitar Hero.
For everyone else, go ahead and buy this with a game that can utilize the extra control and you will have fun. It's well worth the $
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseI bought this to play Skyward Sword, so that's my only experience with it. It attaches snugly to the remote and doesn't interfere with using it. Physically, the device feels well-manufactured. I didn't find the remote to be heavy or too long after I attached the MotionPlus. I'm not sure how it affects the Wii remote's battery life, because I haven't used it for long stretches in a while. With the MotionPlus attached, I went through three sets of batteries in about 65 hours of gameplay.
The increased precision is noticeable during gameplay. I don't know about other games, but Skyward Sword makes good use of it. It took me a few hours to get used to it, but it feels pretty natural now. I had been accustomed to small flicks of my wrist to do things, but the MotionPlus requires longer, more fluid motions that involve my whole fore-arm. It's a little more of a workout than using the normal Wii remote, but that's not saying much. The only thing that still annoys me is that I have to be very careful to move exactly horizontally in order for a horizontal sword swipe to register instead of a diagonal one. I'm not sure if that comes from the hardware or the game, but it is challenging.
Edit: I forgot to add that the MotionPlus' aim drifts as you use it, which means that you will periodically have to press a button to re-center it. This isn't super-annoying, but it is disorienting when you go to aim something, and your view zooms off to the left or something. If this happens while you are attempting a time-critical operation, you will probably mess up. It may also please you to press the center button when you are not aimed at the TV so that you don't have to hold the remote up in front of you the whole time. I found that I was more comfortable if I centered the remote while my hands were in my lap, pointed below the TV.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2009Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseI was one of the first adopters for the Wii when it first came out. The WiiMotes (Wii Remote) were plain and had no silicone jackets on them. I remember buying some generic silicone covers to protect them. I was glad to see that Nintendo started to provide the WiiMotes like this and even sold the Wii MotionPlus with the silicone jacket.
Keep in mind that you will want to look for games that have a MotionPlus symbol to get the rumble affect out of it. I imagine that more games in the future will be Wii MotionPlus enabled.
Here is my most recent scenario of using the Wii MotionPlus add-on.
Game: EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis
Accessory: Wii Thrustmaster Motion Plus Tennis Duo Pack NW
The Grand Slam Tennis Wii game has another dimension when you add the MotionPlus "plug" to the bottom of the remote. They can actually be removed from the silicone jacket easily and placed in the bottom of the remote when it goes into another accessory. The MotionPlus adds the typical rumble effect and is supposed to be more sensitive to movement and position. I think this is right on! The Grand Slam Wii Tennis game is NOT EASY to begin with (not like the Wii Sports tennis). This game takes some getting used to and some skill. It is my hypothesis that the MotionPlus adds to this realism.
Lots of fun and definitely one of those items you want to consider having at least two of in your Wii accessory kit. I will be seeking more games that use MotionPlus and will try them out. It adds another dimension to the Wii that just makes the Wii that much more fun and accessible for those of us who find some of the other consoles more complicated (gaming challenged).

5.0 out of 5 stars El sacadineros de Nintendo
Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseEl acople este nos permite jugar a juegos con los que sin el no es posible. Funciona y acopla a la perfección pero es una vergüenza que te cobren por ello ya que la diferencia de captación de movimiento entre tenerlo y no tenerlo es mínima. Un 0 para Nintendo por ello y un 10 como siempre para Amazon y MRW por su eficacia en el envio

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficile da trovare altrove
Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseQuesto accessorio non è facile da trovare in giro. In pratica consente di aggiornare i vecchi Wii Motion non più compatibili con i nuovi giochi che quindi risulterebbero inutilizzabili, tutto ad una spesa modica, specialmente se confrontata al costo di un comando nuovo.
Per il resto è superfluo sottolineare che l'originale si nota a cominciare dall'imballo di cartone che ha tutti i bordi arrotondati e smussati per non tagliarsi! Ovviamente l'originalità ne garantisce anche una perfetta funzionalità ed accoppiamento con gli altri accessori, oltre che una qualità costruttiva superiore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bonne surprise
Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseJe l'ai acheté spécialement pour le nouveau Zelda: Skyward Sword, et c'est une très bonne surprise. Dans le jeu précédent: Twilight princess, il fallait vaguement remuer la wiimote pour effectuer des attaques, alors qu'avec la wii motion plus dans skyward sword, il faut effectuer de véritables mouvements pour faire les attaques dans le jeu. Certains pourraient trouver cela pénible, mais le but de la Wii c'est justement de pouvoir faire ce genre de chose, moi perso cela me convient, j'adore l'univers de Zelda, et devoir effectuer les mouvements comme le héros Link nous fait rentrer plus vite dans le jeu, et le rend beaucoup plus réaliste et divertissant, ce qui est également le but d'un jeu vidéo !!!
Bref, excellente expérience !!!!
