Wii Sports Resort features ... golf and table tennis?

by JC Fletcher { May 18th 2009 at 1:00PM }

Nintendo of Japan's new commercials for the Wii MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort use some very slick high-speed camera footage to illustrate the realistic motions used in, among other things, table tennis and golf. New in-game footage found in the commercial reveals that two of Resort's new minigames will be retreads of things seen in previous titles -- table tennis was covered in Wii Play, and golf, of course, appeared in the original Wii Sports.

Nintendo must be very confident that MotionPlus improves these games significantly. We still don't know how many games will be included in Resort, but if two of them are going to be encore presentations, there had better be a lot of games. We totally understand Nintendo wanting to take a second crack at table tennis, we must admit, because Wii Play's version is not where it's at.

Sounds a bit like a rehash job, much like the Super Sandwich Racing they just released to no acclaim. Not that diminshes my excitement in any way, just pointing out the obvious.

Well... that's a little bit of a let down. I hope there are still more games to be revealed.

I'm quite pleased, even if it means its partially a re-hash. Wii Sports Golf deserved to be revisited

Golf was THE game on wii sports. I could still go for a round 2.5+ years later.

I would reconsider passing. I just hope I dont need to buy 4 of these things and i can play a some of these games w/ pass the remote like bowling and golf and vs CPU option.

So far confirmed mini games in Wii Sports Resort:

Sword fighting
Dog frisbee
Jet ski
Golf
Ping Pong

I think it will be cool to have some remakes. So you can see the difference in quality between original wiisports and new one.

I hope Nintendo adds online play. I already got this reserved. Should be a fun party game.

When I reserved Wii Sports Resort I also reserved The Conduit, and bought madworld and chrono trigger. I am a diverse gamer !
