The updated version of golf is more demanding: You really need to focus on keeping your swing straight or you’ll be digging a lot of balls out of the rough. Table tennis feels more like the real thing. (It’s available separately for $24.99.) When bowling, you can flick your wrist to give the ball some spin. The package comes with one MotionPlus device, which attaches to one end of the Wii remote and gives it more precise control. And the whole package is as lighthearted, fast-paced and accessible as the original. The three sports that have returned (golf and bowling from “Wii Sports,” table tennis from “Wii Play”) are sharper, thanks to the new Wii MotionPlus accessory. “Resort” is bigger, boosting the number of events from five to 12. If you’re a fan, you won’t be disappointed either.
So Nintendo has high expectations for “Wii Sports Resort” ($49.99), and there’s no reason to think the company will be disappointed. A subsequent minigame collection, “Wii Play,” sold 23 million copies. With more than 45 million copies in circulation, “Wii Sports” has probably been played by more people than any game in history. And it was so easy to pick up and play that people who were once intimidated by video games started Wii bowling leagues.
It served as a perfect demonstration of the new console, putting the Wii’s motion-sensing controls at the service of familiar pastimes like golf and tennis.
