Wii Sports Resort lands in stores this Sunday

Last month, we got some hands-on time with Wii Sports Resort, the first-party Nintendo game that comes bundled with Wii MotionPlus.

While most of the minigames are new, you'll recognize a few classics from the original title such as golf and bowling. That aside, there's a lot of new activities in Wii Sports Resort, all of which take advantage of Wii MotionPlus (which we reviewed earlier this week).

During our demo, we especially enjoyed our time with Table Tennis and Archery. After playing with the final version for about a week now, Table Tennis remains among the highlights of the game. The capability to perform top spin and fades on the ball makes for a very satisfying experience.

We also enjoyed the Frisbee game where MotionPlus really shines. You have complete 1:1 control over your character's toss, in which you must have a dog catch the disc in a bull's-eyed area.

Wii Sports Resort comes bundled with one Wii MotionPlus attachment and rubber sleeve and is available July 26 for $50. Additional Wii MotionPlus units are available now for $20 each.

I bought it last Thursday and played it on Friday night with the fmaily. My favourites were Golf (now with an 18-hole course and much better with the MotionPlus), Table Tennis, and Frisby. Was good fun for the night but I'm not sure how often I'll continue to play it

just bought it today. the wii motion plus is a big improvement, makes your movements more fluent and accurate. my favorites were the table tennis and the sword fights. hopefully this motion plus is taken advantage of in future wii games.
