Nintendo have today announced a release timeframe for Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to their insanely-popular Wii pack-in title, Wii Sports.

The game - along with the Wii MotionPlus peripheral technology it's there to support - will be out in Japan in June, reports KBC analyst Hiroshi Kamide. Those outside of Japan will have to wait an extra month, with the game due "overseas" in July.

The announcement was made by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during an address at The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan. Further information on an exact release date and final pricing is to "come later".
