The successor to Wii Sports has been revealed by Nintendo and will include their latest accessory, the Wii MotionPlus.

 Today during Nintendo's E3 press conference, the sequel to Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort was revealed. The game will be packaged with one Wii MotionPlus accessory and will include a number of new mini-games for players to enjoy.    


During the conference a total of three mini-games were shown, a portion of the total offering. Sword Play made use of the MotionPlus adaptor, allowing players to have 1:1 sword control on the screen. Players are able to square off and attempt to force each other off the platform to win in a best of three competition.    


Disc Dog also gave players 1:1 control, though this time of a Frisbee which they could toss to their Mii-like dog on screen. If the throw was good enough, with enough hang time, the dog is able to catch it before the disc hits the ground.    


Finally, Power Cruising allowed players to navigate the waves of the resort with the remote and nunchuk on a wave scooter.    


Wii Sports Resort will allow up to four players in at least some of the mini-games and is said to feature easy-to-pick-up sports for the whole family.    


Wii Sports Resort is coming to the Wii, packaged with the MotionPlus dongle, next spring.

So I guess we're not getting the motion plus until spring 2009?

Yep, looks that way.

I think this goes to show just how much Nintendo was worried about MS one-upping them with their own motion controller.

But MS didn't debut the Xmote. Corporate spies/ninjas could have prevented a pre-mature reveal by Nintendo. Unless this first strike maneuver mad Microsoft pull it from their press conference. Hmm...

All the fun predictions were shot down.

Now it's back to the logical conclusion:  HD Twins can't compete, and the hardcore world will self destruct in grand fashion.

I think he only said that if there's a counter-attack it would be from MS but no guarantee that MS would do so. A counter-attack from MS would have been the biggest threat to the Wii but MS failed.
