EA Sports Titles Shipping with Wii MotionPlus
EA has announced that its Wii version of Tiger Woods 10 and Grand Slam Tennis will ship with the Wii MotionPlus accessory over here in Europe.

You won't be able to get the games and peripheral together forever, however. “This exclusive and limited-time offer is exciting news for sports fans who want to enhance their Wii experience for a great value with the new Wii MotionPlus right at launch with both Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis”, said Peter Moore, president of EA Sports. “The functionality of the Wii MotionPlus will help us deliver the authentic, true-to-life sports motion that will redefine the sports experience on the Wii.”

Grand Slam Tennis is expected on June 19th, a week after MotionPlus's launch, while Tiger Woods 10 should be out on July 3rd.

The games will carry a RRPs of £49.99 when they launch with MotionPlus. EA didn't explicitly say whether the games will be available on their own at launch, but given the fact this is a limited-time offer it seems likely.

Nintendo's own big title set to showcase MotionPlus - Wii Sports Resort - won't be out until July 24th.

SPOnG recently got some hands-on time with the two EA games. You can see what we found here.
