The sequel to the universally loved Wii Sports will come packaged with the already announced Wii MotionPlus, which will allow for a greater precision of movement between you and the actions on screen.

Featuring a sunny, beachside theme, Wii Sports: Resort will feature a wide array of summery activities, such as Jet Ski, playing catch with your dog, and sword fighting.

All three of these games were displayed at Nintendo’s press conference, where the Wii MotionPlus was fully explained as the next evolution of the Wii Remote. It picked up even more subtle movements than the remote usually does, making the sort of games that require this, such as sword fighting, look even more intuitive.

Its great to see Wii Sports back again, and looking so good. The Jet Ski game especially feels nostalgic of Wave Race 64, with you holding the Wii remote and Nunchuck like you would jet ski handlebars.

KEY INFORMATION

Wii Sports Resort is a new collection of fun sports games that anyone can pick up and play.

• This sequel to the popular Wii Sports™ makes use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. The Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is included with Wii Sports Resort, plugs into the base of the Wii Remote™ controller and, combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar, provides an experience that gives players an even greater sense of immersion.

• Just as with Wii Sports, people will love competing against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players will find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action.

• Wii Sports Resort takes place on a tropical island. A wide range of activities will keep players coming back for one more round. Some sample activities include Sword Play, Power Cruising (racing a water scooter) and Disc Dog, which involves accurately tossing a disc to a cute, Mii-like dog.
