While I fully endorse any resort promoting swordfighting it just needs something more fun like some of the resort games in the film Club Dread. Nice to see GB studio now has more than one motion plus controller to make these quick looks interesting. Of course without being able to bounce the bowling ball or shoot the arrows in archery at some of the spectators (or sharks with the wakeboarding)  I'll pass.

I've been on the fence with this game, but I think this has convinced me to get it.   Seems like a lot of fun.  Too bad Nintendo forces you to play the easy difficulties, like always.  I might still be on the fence though, but I'm leaning towards smashing myself head first on the buy side now.  Could change tomorrow.

Don't worry, Ryan. When I tried Wii Sports Resort "B-Ball," my dude wouldn't even grab the ball.

Also, @Bubahula: You wouldn't be able to block , because you need to press "B" to go into defense mode.

Looks pretty boring. I couldn't see myself playing any of those games they showed more than once or twice.

Says something about the quality of the majority of Wii games that Wii Sports is 95% in the system and that this will probably be in the system that much as well. No fault of Nintendo, just sayin.

The music in the basketball section sounds awesome, like it's the sting tune from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Too bad that Ryan got his hand chopped off by Jeff.  A hook would be sweet though.

Yep. It's a wii minigame collection. Which means that people who actually play games will get bored after a few hours.

EDIT: Jeff made a Razor Callahan Mii? That's badass!

My impression on the different games shown:
ping pong = pretty cool
swordfighting = OK
bowling = meh
wakeboarding = dumb and boring
basketball = positively retarded

Overall, seems like a poor compilation of minigames.  But the ping pong did look genuinely fun.

I played it at Gamestop recently. It just felt like it was in between the "Just barely precise so it's simple enough to play" (Wii Bowling) and "extreme awesome dreamlike precision" (PS3, 360 demos). So basically everything was like the Golf game in Wii Sports, a little underwhelming.

dont like the camera on the boarding cause it moves about too much and you don't know what you're doing, it needs to stay behind.

No, you're thinking of Project Natal. ;)
Sony's is the reverse, it tapes the toy sword on to the 'mote.
Either way it sounds like you'd be on the front page of wiihaveaproblem.com
