Confirmed: Virtua Tennis on Wii using Wii MotionPlus tech

Sega has announced what is perhaps one of the biggest third party Wii games to date this week. TechRadar can also confirm that the new Wii version of the mighty Virtua Tennis WILL also make use of the new Wii MotionPlus controller tech.

While Sega and Nintendo's UK spokespeople remained schtum on the matter, TechRadar's un-named source confirmed that Nintendo's much-improved motion control tech will be used in the third-party tennis game from Sega, making it one of the first third-party games to make use of the new tech.

TechRadar will be amongst the first to preview Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus tech, which will be making its debut in May this year on Nintendo's very own Wii Sports Resort, in addition to Sega's Virtua Tennis and – no doubt – a welter of other Wii titles soon to be announced.
