Wii Sports Resort and the Wii MotionPlus were announced during E3 2008, and according to Reuters they will finally release in June in Japan and later in July overseas. Wii Sports Resort is sure to be the biggest hit of the Summer (and probably the entire year) and Wii MotionPlus will put a new spin on how game developers incorporate Wii motion controls to new games to make Wii games more accurate, and a new take on how we ourselves play Wii games.

TOKYO, April 9 (Reuters) - Japan's Nintendo Co, which competes with Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp in the global video game market, said on Thursday it would launch its "Wii Sports Resort" software in June in Japan.

Wii Sports Resort follows its popular "Wii Sports" game, which helped drive sales of its Wii game console as users can play baseball, tennis and other sports using its motion-sensing controller.

Wii Sports Resort, which lets users throw a frisbee to a virtual dog or duel one another with swords, will hit overseas markets in July, Nintendo said.

Nintendo's Wii game console far outsells Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, and its DS, which competes with Sony's PlayStation Portable, dominates the handheld video game market.

Nintendo shares were down 2.8 percent at 27,940 yen, little moved by the news. The benchmark Nikkei average  gained 2.9 percent.
