Nyko has what it plans to be the world's first Wiimote replacement with the Motion Plus (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MotionPlus/) add-on built-in. Dubbed the Wand+, the controller will retail for $39.99 and should be on shelves by March. In addition to those fancy gryoscopes, the Wand+ has a matte rubberized back and rubberized buttons that are pretty comfortable to the touch, there's a built-in camera for acting as a "regular" Bluetooth mouse, and the whole assembly is much lighter than a Wiimote / Motion Plus combo. Perhaps we won't die of acute carpal tunnel after all. Check out some action video after the break. Gallery: Nyko Wand+ hands-on (http://www.engadget.com/photos/nyko-wand-hands-on/)
