The Wii Remote Attachment for Wii Sports Resort: MotionPlus

Wii MotionPlus — the small white/gray module that plugs into the Wii Remote's expansion port (bottom).

What It Adds

• MEMS gyroscope (IDG-600 or similar) — detects rotational velocity (yaw/pitch/roll).
• Pass-through connector — Nunchuk/Classic Controller still attach to MotionPlus.
• Automatic calibration on game start (place flat, wait).

Identification

• Model: RVL-004 (standalone) or RVL-036 (Wii Remote Plus, built-in).
• Text: "Wii MotionPlus" on side.
• Length: ~3.5 cm added to Remote.

Games Requiring It

• Wii Sports Resort (all sports)
• Red Steel 2, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10+
• Wii Play: Motion, FlingSmash, Grand Slam Tennis

Without it, Resort constantly prompts attachment. Buy Wii Remote Plus (RVL-036) — integrated, cheaper used.
