E3 09: Sakar Goes Wii Out with Add-Ons for Nintendo’s New Wii MotionPlus
Posted by GDN Staff,

akar International is getting into the Wii MotionPlus game with a line of accessories for the highly anticipated motion-control enhancement to Nintendo’s Wii Remote game controller. The new products, available immediately at Toys ’R Us, are being released to coincide with this month’s launch of the new Wii expansion device as well as the first MotionPlus-compatible Wii games.

Sakar’s first five MotionPlus accessories include tennis rackets, baseball bats, golf clubs, zappers and racing wheels, all belonging to Sakar’s new iConcept Game Fury series. An accessory kit for the new Wii Sports Resort gaming collection will be released when that title debuts in July. MSRPs for all SKUs will range from $9.99 to $19.99.

The Sakar accessories will attach to the Wii MotionPlus’ expansion port, providing more realistic gameplay that fully leverages the improved motion detection of the device. Analysts have predicted sales of up to 10 million MotionPlus units by the end of 2009 because of the ability to precisely mimic gamers’ hand movements when combined with the Wii Remote’s existing accelerometer and sensor bar.

The new Sakar SKUs will expand the company’s existing line of Nintendo accessories, including products for the Wii and DS Lite. Separately today, Sakar also announced a 20-SKU lineup of Nintendo protective cases and other Nintendo accessories that will carry iCarly and SpongeBob SquarePants branding as part of a license agreement with Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products.
