Wii Sports Summer Resort

We picked this up yesterday!

Wii Sports Resort is a new collection of fun sports games that anyone can pick up and play.
This sequel to the popular Wii Sports makes use of the Wii Motion Plus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. The Wii Motion Plus accessory, which is included with Wii Sports Resort, plugs into the base of the Wii Remote controller and, combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar, provides an experience that gives players an even greater sense of immersion.

Just as with Wii Sports, people will love competing against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players will find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action.

Wii Sports Resort takes place on the tropical island of Wuhu. This great new game will whisk players away to a resort that’s full of action, offering more than 12 sports to participate in from, Archery to Frisbee, basketball, cycling, canoeing, Power Cruising, Table Tennis, Air Sports, Swordplay, Bowling, Golf and wakeboarding.

Wii Sports Resort takes the inclusive fun and intuitive controls of the original Wii Sports to the next level, offering a beach resort environment and many more sports to get to grips all using Wii MotionPlus. Wii Sports resort is easy to pick up and play, but comes coupled with deeper levels of play that are sure to challenge even the most experienced gamer.

The inclusion of Wii motion plus in this game will guarantee, that veteran Wii users and newcomers alike can enjoy unprecedented gaming precision as they cruise on a water scooter, duel with swords, toss a flying disc and much more.

The long-awaited sequel continues the gaming-for-everyone theme with a fresh set of easy-to-play games, but adds some nuance. It also offers more than twice as many sports games as Wii Sports. New to this version are archery, wakeboarding, Frisbee, swordplay, basketball, table tennis, jet skiing, cycling, canoeing, skydiving and airplane flying. It also has more in-depth golf and bowling options than those found in Wii Sports.

The nuance comes from Nintendo's new Wii MotionPlus. Wii Sports Resort comes bundled with this controller add-on that snaps onto the Wii remote, boosting the responsiveness of the motion-sensitive controller. With the MotionPlus, it is now possible to put spin on a bowling ball and to "slice" a table tennis shot. However, while the controller's motion-sensing is more precise, the games are still easily playable by all.

The fun starts when your avatar (called a Mii) jumps from an airplane and parachutes onto Wuhu Island. By waving your controller, you can get your Mii to join other skydivers to make formations. This dramatic beginning sets the stage for the high-quality fun that follows.

Each of the sports is immediately available as either a solo or multiplayer game, and most can be played by up to four people. For some games, like Frisbee, basketball, cycling, table tennis and bowling, after you have played the standard game, you unlock exciting variations. For example, in bowling, you can unlock "100-Pin," where the goal is to knock down 100 pins instead of 10, and "Spin Control," a wacky version requiring the use of spin to avoid barriers in the alley while trying to knock down the pins at the end.

The activities use the precision controls of the Wii MotionPlus accessory to help players come much closer to the physical reality of engaging in the actual sports. Every real-world action, whether it's a perfect drive on the fairway or a slice off the course, is meant to be faithfully replicated.

Each activity has multiple fun challenges designed to keep visitors coming back for more
Different activities use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers in different ways. For example, players hold the Wii Remote like a paddle in Canoeing, while in Cycling they use both arms to "pedal" with the two controllers.

The Wii MotionPlus accessory picks up every nuance of motion and translates it onto the TV screen
Depending on the activity, players can compete solo or against other players. Some activities even let players team up to work cooperatively.
