New Wii Systems to Include Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus

Starting May 9, Nintendo will add new elements to the Wii system package offered at retailers throughout the Americas. In addition to the motion-sensing Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller and popular Wii Sports game that currently comes standard with each system purchase, every new unit will now also come packaged with Wii Sports Resort and the control-enhancing Wii MotionPlus accessory.

Wii Sports Resort expands on the active-play fun of the original Wii Sports, with resort-themed activities such as wakeboarding, archery and swordplay. What’s more, Wii Sports Resort features the rich control enhancements of Wii MotionPlus, which allows users to dive in and enjoy precision motion-control excitement right out of the box.


In addition, consumers will be able to choose between two color schemes for the Wii console and included controllers: original white, or a new black option. The U.S. suggested retail price of the new system package will remain at $199.99.
