LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Wii Remote is getting in touch with its sensitive side.

Nintendo unveiled Wii MotionPlus at the E3 Business and Media Summit on Tuesday. The new accessory plugs into the base of the Wii Remote and will provide more intuitive motion controls. Wii MotionPlus is scheduled for release in spring and will come packaged with "Wii Sports Resort," which will feature beach-themed activities such as frisbee throwing and jet skiing.

The company also showed off music simulator "Wii Music" and the WiiSpeak room microphone, which will sell for $29.99. Nintendo said the first game to use the microphone would be "Animal Crossing: City Folk." Games announced for the Nintendo DS include "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" and "Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades."
