Wii Sports Resort Announced!!

Cammie’s got the “cutest game you’ve ever seen!” Reggie just dropped a bomb. He just guaranteed himself all the money. A sequel to Wii Sports, but at the BEACH. It’s not fair. Everyone loves the beach.

This new game will essentially be the tech-demo for Wii Motion Plus, the accessory that attaches to the Wii Remote and makes it “more precise, more responsive, and more INTENSE.” The game will be sold as a bundle with Wii Motion Plus built in, and everyone in the world will buy four of them.

I’ve gotta say, the games they showed off looked extremely responsive. When everyone first heard about the Wii and dreamed about using it as a precise representation of a sword or lightsaber. Wii Sports Resort showed off a sword-fighting duel as one of the games, and man did it look precise. They also showed off a disc-tossing game and a jet-ski racer, each one using the Wiimote/nunchuck as representations of the players hands gripping the disc/throttle. Not bad, Nintendo. The game is set to launch in Spring ‘09.

At first I was like: “Oh no, Wii music and now this…” But it might be pretty good. At least they will have new sports and the new motion plus sounds good.

it is what it is, tricky t. i’m sure it’ll be fun, but potentially having to buy 4 Wii Motion Pluses is a huge pain in the ass.

I’m not looking forward to buying 4 Wii Motion Pluses! They are following Apple’s strategy: Come out with a new/better product or an add on every year so they have to keep buying our stuff…
