SEGA come out swinging with Wii MotionPlus support

Your IT - Entertainment

In what is sure to be at the head of a bunch of publisher announcements, SEGA have confirmed Wii MotionPlus support for the upcoming Virtua Tennis 2009.

With the Wii MotionPlus adaptor recently given a price and release date , it is only natural that publishers want to ride the hype of a Wii console with accurate motion tracking controls.

One of the first will be SEGA with the impending release of Virtua Tennis 2009.  Here are the details:

SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that Virtua Tennis™ 2009 will support the new Wii MotionPlus™ feature. This means that for the first time Nintendo Wii™ owners will be able to experience the thrill of playing with the Wii Remote™ as you would with a real-tennis racket.

The Wii MotionPlus feature allows players greater control than ever before, with the Wii responding more accurately to the swings and shots of each individual player. With Wii MotionPlus and Virtua Tennis 2009 the shots you play in your living room are mimicked by your on screen character, so that satisfying cross court winner, or drop shot followed by the roar of the crowd feels so much more rewarding. As well as direction, Wii MotionPlus will allow a slice to be played with a simple twist of the wrist, while an upward motion allows players to lob the ball over your opponents head.

Virtua Tennis 2009 is due for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo Wii system and the PC in May 2009.  Further information relating to the content of the game will be available over the coming months from the official website of the game – www.virtuatennis2009.com.
