However, the newer Wii Remote Plus eliminates the need for such elongated jackets by integrating the MotionPlus technology into the Remote itself. Each Wii MotionPlus includes a longer version of the Wii Remote Jacket to accommodate the added length, and according to Nintendo, the Wii MotionPlus is unsafe to use without it. When attached to the (original, non-MotionPlus) Wii Remote, the add-on unit extends the length of the controller body by approximately 1.5 in (4 cm). The attachment has a color-coded mechanical slide switch for locking the clip release. Because the Wii MotionPlus extends the length of the Wii Remote, making it impossible to clip the Nunchuk's connector hook to the wrist strap, the MotionPlus dongle features a tethered socket cap that can be snapped onto the connector hook to secure it from abrupt movement should it be forcibly disconnected. The Wii MotionPlus features a pass-through External Extension Connector, allowing other expansions such as the Nunchuk or Classic Controller to be used simultaneously with the device. To ensure that it functions properly, the MotionPlus can be calibrated before or during gameplay by placing the Wii Remote facedown (so that the B Button is facing up) on a flat surface and keeping it motionless for at most 10 seconds until an on-screen notification indicates that calibration is complete. This allows for the capture of more complex movements than possible with the Wii Remote alone. The information captured by the angular rate sensor can then be used to distinguish true linear motion from the accelerometer readings. The device incorporates a dual-axis tuning fork gyroscope, and a single-axis gyroscope which can determine rotational motion.

It would be the same as the Wii Remote, but the curved text 'Wii MotionPlus INSIDE' is added below the Wii logo. In a 2010 Nintendo Conference, the Wii Remote Plus was announced, which places the function of the MotionPlus into a regular sized Wii remote. In North America, non-white Wii Remotes are bundled with a MotionPlus of matching color for black Wii Remotes and a white MotionPlus unit with a translucent jacket for blue and pink Wii Remotes. Bundles containing a black Wii Remote and MotionPlus attachment were also released. In November 2009, a black Wii MotionPlus was released to coincide with the release of the black Wii console. During a developer round table discussion at E3 2008, Wii Sports Resort producer Katsuya Eguchi discussed the potential influence of the Wii MotionPlus on the Wii's existing market, stating that Nintendo was looking at whether the MotionPlus capability will be built into the Wii Remote in the future, or kept 'as an attachment we only use for certain software.' Nintendo ultimately chose the former by releasing the Wii Remote Plus in late 2010. The Wii MotionPlus was conceived soon after the completion of the initial Wii Remote design, to address developer demand for more capable motion sensing, but was only announced after the sensors could be purchased in sufficient volume at a reasonable price. The sensor used is an InvenSense IDG-600 or IDG-650 in later units, designed in accordance to Nintendo's specification with a high dynamic range, high mechanical shock tolerance, high temperature and humidity resistance, and small physical size. The Wii MotionPlus was developed by Nintendo in collaboration with game development tool company AiLive.

On May 3, 2010, Nintendo announced that starting May 9, 2010, the company would include its Wii Sports Resort game and MotionPlus controller with new consoles with no price increase. The Wii MotionPlus was announced by Nintendo in a press release on July 14, 2008, and revealed the next day at a press conference at the E3 Media & Business Summit.
