    At first I though Wii Sports Resort was just going to be a bunch of games that basically show you what you can do with the new MotionPlus, sort of a collection of mediocre games, nothing special really, but I was pleasantly Read more

    • +Includes MotionPlus, +Lots of fun games, +Actually a whole lot of fun
    • Prompts and reminders can get annoying at times

    The $50 price tag may seem a bit high but you do get one Wii MotionPlus sensor with the game. You’ll need to buy at least one more, obviously, so you’re looking at $70 to get the complete experience. Read more

    • Great variety of games, excellent showcase for the
    • No online multiplayer mode. A few flat games.

    was a bit of a disappointment. While the game provided some realistic motion controls, not to mention the greatest bowling simulation ever, it was difficult to shake off the notion that the game was nothing more than a...

    • Addictive gameplay., Hours upon hours of challenges., The perfect party game.
    • MotionPlus support is not great., The lack of any online modes is diappointing., Some of the 'sports' are simply tech demos.

    If we take into account that you need to calibrate too many times and too often will have to wait too long for what in essence is a party game then this holiday resort has too little holiday feeling and casual fun on offer to Read more

    • Some excellent games like Table Tennis, MotionPlus just barely succeeds its exam, Colorful and fun presentation, More variation than its predecessor
    • Recalibrating should be unnecessary and the 1on1 promise isn't kept entirely, A couple of games are a lot less fun, Too few games for four players

    Good variety of games, many of which can provide a degree of exercise, especially sword fighting, canoeing, table tennis, golf, and to a lesser degree bicycling, bowling, basketball and frisbee golf. Read more

    • Sword fighting, golf, bowling, table tennis and Air Sports combat
    • bicycling (pedaling with hand motions)

    Everything was great when i purchased this item for my daughter. I was just a little annoyed with the expensive shipping cost (USPS doesn't cost 9.95) and the fact that it did not say it was a refurbished game. Read more or see product

    My fiance and I got a Wii last year (2009) and while we regularly play a variety of games, Wii Sports is our favorite. Or at least was, until we got Wii Sports Resort. Read more

    • High sensitivity. Many creative, fun games.
    • No tennis. Pro status is a certificate (permanent). My fiance and I enjoy Wii Sports in which you have to maintain your pro status (you can lose it.)

    • You have to purchase another Wii Motion Plus to play most 2 player games. If you want to ever play 4 player on anything its an additional $60 investment for 3 Wii Motion Plus adapters.

Wii Sports Resort

Wii Sports Resort is the sequel to the highly successful Nintendo Wii game, Wii Sports. The Wii Sports Resort game has two release dates. It will first be released in June in Japan then in July for the rest of the world. It is said that the Nintendo president named Wii Sports Resort as a measure to combat the Japanese Wii market’s current slowdown (a situation he described as "the most unhealthy situation since its launch in Japan.") He denied that Nintendo would cut Wii prices in order to increase sales, saying, "If our products are not much different from competitors’, price cuts would generate significant fresh demand. But video games are just not that kind of product."

Features

Wii Sports Resorts basically offers players to play all sorts of games at the beach. This game is the sequel of Wii Sports which managed to leave a mark among its players. There’s the Wii MotionPlus accessory that is included with Wii Sports Resort. It can be used by plugging it into the base of the Wii Remote controller and it is combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar. It helps give the players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. It also helps giving players an even greater sense of immersion. The location of this game would definitely be on a resort located on a tropical island. Though not all activities that players will play on this game have been unveiled but some sample activities will include Sword Play, Power Cruising (racing a water scooter) and Disc Dog, which involves accurately tossing a disc to a cute, Mii-like dog.
