So Wii Sports resort came in the mail today marking the first time I've played my Wii in three or four months. To say that I deliberated on spending £40 on a Wii Sports title would be an understatement, I was hovering over the order button a few days back for quite some time. Though my final decision was worth it, Wii Sports Resort is a great title which is good fun to play alone or with friends, which is in itself a problem as I'm now tempted to shell out for a second MotionPlus. The MotionPlus itself is not in any way disappointing, now I don't know about you but when I first got the Wii and popped Wii Sports in I was hit with a very slight disappointment which turned into a form of denial, blaming the game for not utilizing the controls enough etc. I finally had to come to terms that I had expected too much from the Wii. With the MotionPlus I feel like that initial expectation I had has been met, it really is 1:1 recognition even though you have to re-calibrate every now and again. This is clear from the get go where your sky diving Mii has the outline of the remote around him and every slight motion of yours is portrayed on the the screen, really exciting stuff! Because of this my imagination has been racing all day about the possibilities the MotionPlus can bring to games, especially the up and coming Zelda title. It really does feel good to be excited about the Wii again.

I really liked Wii Sports. I still play it when friends and family come over, last weekend as a matter of fact. I'm really looking forward to playing it. I bought the Tiger Woods 10 / Motion Plus bundle for the Wii and it's a great game. So, I'll get my second Motion Plus when I pick up my copy of Wii Sports Resort... should be fun. Better gaming is always a good thing.
Sounds good. This may give me a reason to dust off my Wii again. The console has been such a massive disappointment for me that I go months at a time without touching it.

It's not that the games really difficult either
Just wait til you enter pro-mode in the games, or try to get all five stamps.
I'm not sold. This game may be fun for a few plays but I dont see myself buying it. Nintendo has just added rhine stones and a feather to the fancy hat everyone already owns. In the end, how often are you going to wear that new fancy hat when you are already sick of wearing the slightly less fancy hat you had two years ago.
