New Wii Controllers May Have MotionPlus Inside

Wii MotionPlus -- the Wii Remote attachment revealed earlier this week that adds extra precision to motion controls -- poses an interesting conundrum for Nintendo: How can it make games supporting it without running the risk of fracturing its market? Speaking at an E3 developer roundtable today (via Eurogamer), Nintendo's Katsuya Eguchi confirmed the one possibility under consideration is to update the Wii Remote to include the MotionPlus technology.

"As to looking at whether or not it will be an attachment or built-in -- we're always looking at how hardware should evolve and where we should take it," Eguchi said. "Unfortunately, I don't have a definite direction to give you today, but it's something we'll be looking at."
