Wii Remote/Motion Plus combo dated

FlingSmash dated, too.

Nintendo's dated the Wii Remote/Motion Plus combo controller leaked last month.

The Wii Remote Plus will release in Europe on 5th November in four colours: white, black, pink and blue. We've asked Nintendo how much it costs.

It has the same physical dimensions of the standard Wii Remote and all compatible peripherals, including the Nunchuk and Classic Controller, can be plugged into its base. It works in exactly the same was as the Wii Remote with a Wii Motion Plus plugged in.

Meanwhile, Nintendo announced that FlingSmash, which comes bundled with a Wii Remote Plus, will release in Europe on 19th November.

The Artoon motion-controlled side-scrolling platformer sees players fling ball-shaped character Zip at angles to smash objects.
