MotionPlus confirmations

Last week, in response to my post about Wii's forthcoming MotionPlus peripheral, several readers asked, how many will be bundled with each copy of Wii Sports Resort, and also if the device is backwards compatible. I mailed the chap who PRs for the technology's creator, InvenSense, who in-turn contacted Nintendo's PR people in the States.

Cutting to the chase - each copy of Wii Sports Resort will bundle with one MotionPlus - they'll also be available to buy separately, but Nintendo is yet to announce a retail price. As expected, MotionPlus is not backwards compatible with previous Wii games as it requires specific support to be coded in.

So there you have it.
