Virtua Tennis 2009 will be the first third party Wii title to feature MotionPlus support. Sega today confirmed that Virtua Tennis 2009 will be the first third party title in Australia (and first title, period) to feature Wii MotionPlus support when it is released on 11 May 2009.

However, the Motion Plus features will not be immediately accessible, as the Wii MotionPlus accessory will be not available until June in the US and we Australians still do not have a release date.

A Virtua Tennis 2009/Motion Plus bundle is therefore highly unlikely at this stage.

Sega says The Wii MotionPlus feature allows players greater control than ever before, with the Wii responding more accurately to the swings and shots of each individual player. With Wii MotionPlus and Virtua Tennis 2009 the shots you play in your living room are mimicked by your on screen character, so that satisfying cross court winner, or drop shot followed by the roar of the crowd feels so much more rewarding. As well as direction, Wii MotionPlus will allow a slice to be played with a simple twist of the wrist, while an upward motion allows players to lob the ball over your opponents head.

Stay tuned and well keep chasing up that Aussie Wii MotionPlus date for you.
