Electronic Arts has announced that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will ship to retailers in North America on June 16, 2009, and will be the first two products from the EA SPORTS label that utilize the functionality of the Wii MotionPlus. EA Sports has at least five products, including EA Sports Active in May, in development that will launch before the end of 2009 designed specifically for the Wii.
“On the Wii, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 and EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis bring the authentic motion and excitement of championship golf and tennis to life for fans of all ages and skill levels,” said Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS. “With the new Wii MotionPlus, slicing a winner on Centre Court at Wimbledon or dropping an 8 iron pin high on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass have never felt better. We couldn’t be more excited about the dynamic new EA Sports experiences coming this year to the Wii.”
