Remember when you had to wait in line for several hours just to get a hold of a Wii and the most unlikely of killer apps, Wii Sports?  I can remember spending one February night in a Target parking lot in frigid temperatures... well I spent most of the time in my comfy car with the heat blasting, but you get the jist of it.  Anyway, the Wii was a big hit among my old roommates.  We were Wii Sports fans from the beginning.  We went full on with the Wii elbow and all that.  We did later figure out how not to strain ourselves while padding Hitler Mii's tennis stats to above 2000.  Wii Sports was just one of those games that was so simple, yet so fun to play with others.  It's one of the few games this generation that is widely accepted among the entire gaming demographic, and even if you hate motion controls, you probably still had a little fun swinging your arms like an idiot for a few minutes.

Dalai, I'll admit it. I loved Wii Sports. I still think it is one of the best games on the Wii, and personally I would rank it being in the console's top three best. However, my main issue with the game is that it really lacked depth. There was a lot more that could have been done to really extend it's replay value. I actually think it's kind of sad that a game that basically serves as a technical demo for the Wii's motion controls is still one of the best games on the console. However, I certainly can't deny the fun I had with it and how in my own experiences, it truly was the game that sold everyone on the Wii. It's a tremendously fun game to play with a group of people, and before long everyone in my family had to have one. I remember I would take it to family get-togethers and everyone wanted to give it a try. Even some relatives that don't play games now own a Wii primarily because of Wii Sports. There was some cool stuff in that game, but it certainly is not without its issues. I'm glad Wii Sports Resort is bringing in lots more variety and game-types. I think I'd be foolish to pass it up. Plus it's bundled with the Motion Plus, which seems like a must for serious gamers. I like seeing your excitement and enthusiasm for the game. I just hope this one can keep me interested a little longer and a bit more pleased overall.

They are certainly addressing the depth issue on two fronts with this game, the sheer amount of events added with the higher level of control does that I think. Motion Plus should allow for more variation, almost more personality in your contol of games. Understanding the events and skills and honing your own physhically is quite exciting I think, so I am really looking forward to it. You just know some of those games are going to be awesome fun.  

I still play Wii Sports regularly, and Sports Resort is among my top 3 hypes for this year. Having spend a great deal of time with MotionPlus now, I cannot wait to get my hands on this game.

And this has certainly nothing to do with alcohol or (primarily) multiplayer.

I've heard from Linkshinks and others that some form of online will be available. Probably leaderboards and such, that would make it that much better. I would then have to start adding friends as I only have two. I can't wait, already got it preordered. If EA can add Motion Plus in an effective way, imagine what Nintendo has up it's sleeve with their long development time.

I think I'll be the judge on what the feelgood game of the year will be. Dr Feelgood... AWAY!
