The Nintendo Wii may be hard to find, but now there are even better add-ons to improve play on the elusive game system.

Wade Hinkle, the Chattanooga-based publisher of the online Gamers Daily News (www.gamersdailynews.com), said the system’s MotionPlus accessory and third-party Nyko’s Cord Free wireless adapter for its Nunchuck controller were introduced at the E3 Media and Business Summit last week in Los Angeles.

The event, a trade show for the video game and computer industry and formerly known as the Electronic Entertainment Exposition, was invitation-only for the second consecutive year after being open to the public for several years before 2007.

Mr. Hinkle received an invitation from Capcom, a manufacturer and distributor of electronic game machines and video game software.

“Gamers Daily Newsis very happy to be here,” he said before returning to Chattanooga. “They may not have the spectacular crowds (as when the exposition was open to the public), but it was still an awesome thing to go to.”

Among the items that impressed him, Mr. Hinkle said, were the Wii accessories. The MotionPlus device attaches to the bottom of the Wii-mote and allows the player to more accurately mimic the motions of the game being played.

Previously, the motions seemed off from “real time” and “inaccurate,” he said. “This cleans that all up.”

The Wii Nunchuck fits into the Nyko Cord Free adapter sleeve and stores its cord to give players more freedom, Mr. Hinkle said.

Another Nyko item on display by the gaming peripherals manufacturer, he said, was a charge base for the PlayStation 3 controller. The controller sits on the charger like a magnet, he said.

“I was very impressed with the thought they put into these products and the usefulness of them,” Mr. Hinkle said. “They thought about what the best way to do things would be.”

Elsewhere, Mr. Hinkle said, the reinvented look — not a new platform — of the Xbox 360 was discussed but not shown. He said the new look could be revealed before Christmas. Just before E3, Microsoft did drop the cost of the system $100 after saying they wouldn’t, he said.

“(It’s) been speculated all along,” he said, “I even interviewed them at one point, asking them if they were going to do anything (about lowering the price). They flat out said no.”

The week, Mr. Hinkle said, was “hectic and tiring,” but seeing “what the companies do was cool.”

This week, Gamers Daily News will post some of the 100 hours of video and 400 to 500 photographs the publisher and his group of eight took at the exposition.
