Remember all the dopey models, hiding behind couches and twisting on-screen swords with lifelike precision? With the MotionPlus attached, everything feels just a bit closer to that reality. Wii Sports Resort and the MotionPlus combine to finally make good on all the promises that the Wii originally made back in 2006. As the first game that actually requires you to have a Wii MotionPlus, Resort is the big showcase for Nintendo's sensitivity-enhancing brick, and it works very well. Unless you're the kind of sullen misanthrope who can only feel at peace when getting headshots with some kind of virtual scope, you'll surely find something about Wii Sports Resort that keeps both you and your non-gaming friends or family coming back for more. Wii Sports Resort offers more variety and a bit more complexity without alienating that family up the street who only bought a Wii because they love bowling. All of this makes Nintendo's return to sports-themed minigames that much sweeter. ![]() But very few of these cash-ins have succeeded. As developers chase after the millions of Wii owners who don't have a lot of hours spent with more traditional games, we've seen tons of games that attempt to duplicate the simple successes of Wii Sports. While that experience is the one that launched millions of sales for Nintendo's console, it's been a bit of a bumpy road for those of us with years of gaming experience. But beyond all of that, it was, at its core, fun. ![]() It showcased the Wii's motion-sensing controls and let you know what they were all about. It was easy to grasp, but had enough of a hook to it to keep people coming back whether they'd played a thousand games or just one. ![]() Playing tennis? On a table? That's crazy talk.The original Wii Sports was the perfect pack-in game because it really summed up everything that the Wii was about.
