It seems that bowling, tennis and other classics are getting revisited on Resort with Motion Plus enhancements, but we went for the new stuff. Our demo covered three of twelve minigames, all we had time for. We knew Wii Sports Resort was big-Nintendo's been teasing it for over two E3s, and Wii Sports is the main reason why people even own Wiis in the first place.

Make sure to check out our first impressions with two games that already use the technology, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Grand Slam Tennis. Extra units can be purchased for $20 and are available now. Wii Sports Resort is set to ship on July 26 and will come with one Wii MotionPlus accessory. Here you need to compensate for wind and distance, and we were impressed with how sensitive the aiming was. The control setup here was among the most different we've seen, but once you learn the logic behind it, it's actually quite brilliant. Here, MotionPlus is able measure the slightest of movements to determine when you "release" the ball.įinally, Scott and I had a go with archery. Once you fall into that "flow," you'll be sinking shots left and right. There's a certain learning curve we experienced here, nothing a little practice can't cure. Next it was on to basketball for a little three-point competition. Table tennis was definitely our pick for the most fun and satisfying game of the demo. MotionPlus allowed for a very natural top spin and slicing effect, which also made for an intensely competitive match. CNET editor Scott Stein and I instantly started a game of Table Tennis and we were equally blown away at how responsive the controls were. Resort features a similar presentation to the original and revisits some of the same sports as well. That said, the game will ship with one MotionPlus unit. The game only works with Wii MotionPlus, so you'll need to get extras if you plan on playing with friends (and you're going to want to). While you've probably heard a lot about this game, did you know it's including updates of classics like bowling and golf? While we didn't spend time with those, we took on whole new challenges that provoked a bit of smack-talking between Jeff and Scott.Īfter our time with Wii Sports Resort two nights ago, it's safe to say that the sequel to the most popular Wii game is going to be a smash hit. "Super Mario Smash Bros."), and now we'll let you in on our three-game session with Nintendo's ace-in-the-hole, Wii Sports Resort. And to our surprise (and clearly, Nintendo's delight), they've gone a little hardcore competitive on us all of a sudden.
