Nintendo announces Wii Remote Plus with built-in MotionPlus tracking

[wraggster]

As a follow-up to this morning's announcement, we now have some shots of Nintendo's colorful new Wiimote. Still no extra details, but what we do have is confirmation from Nintendo that they are indeed building the Wii Remote Plus, which combines a Wii Remote with its Wii MotionPlus gyro add-on into one Wii Remote-sized package. We spotted the controller in a FlingSmash bundle last week, the telltale "smile" text below the Wii logo, and now all we really need is a price and a launch date. Hopefully we'll be getting all of these colors when this lands in the US as well, but since this is a Japanese presentation that Nintendo is making this announcement, we can't be too sure.

This is cool because the stupid remote is way too bid with the motion plus attachment.

Bad enough that they make games still that don't use the classic controller, or force you to use the remote & nunchuck attachment when you don't really need to.
