Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to the original Wii phenomenon will ship to stores in time for a June release in Japan and July for the rest of the world. Coinciding with the release of the game will be the MotionPlus peripheral, which adds increased fidelity and responsiveness to the Wii remote motion sensing- an add-on which already has support from third parties ahead of its release. MotionPlus will be bundled with the game, but neither Wii Sports Resort nor the peripheral have been assigned a RRP. More inside Satoru Iwata made the announcement at a lunch for the The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan. Our spies report that Shiggy and Satoru enjoyed a choice of either smoked duckling sandwiches or sauted swordfish for lunch.
