Wii Games That Feature Wii Motion Plus

Wii MotionPlus, as the name suggests, is a motion sensing device for the Nintendo Wii video game console. It is considered "plus" due to its increased accuracy over its predecessor when detecting motion. The motion sensor, aided by an accelerometer, allows the Wii MotionPlus controller to display the actions of a player on screen without any delay. Most Wii games do not utilize the technology since they were developed before MotionPlus was released; however, as of 2011, a handful of games are available that require Wii MotionPlus to play.

Red Steel 2
- Released on March 23, 2010, Red Steel 2 is a first-person shooter sequel to the original Red Steel. The player alternates between shooting and sword fighting up to six on-screen enemies at a time. New techniques, armor and weapons are earned or become available for purchase as the player progresses through the storyline. The story follows the adventures of the Hero, a member of the Kusagari, a sword-fighting clan in the Nevada desert. The Hero has returned from a five-year banishment to find his town in shambles. All of the members of his clan have disappeared. The Hero must find his sword and the rest of the Kusagari.
