Wii Sports Resort Preview
Wii Sports was the super-successful game bundled with the Wii and now Wii Sports Resort is set to be just as popular as its predecessor.
The follow-up offers gamers a day at the beach – of course complete with the new Wii MotionPlus accessory providing that immersive, more realistic experience.
The sports on offer now extend to wakeboarding, canoeing, sword play, extreme frisbee, basketball, sky diving, power cruising and cycling, while seasoned Wii Sports pros can continue their success with old favourites such as bowling and golf.
This plethora of sports along with a more kooky game in Disc Dog, where you throw a disc to a cartoony Mii-like canine, pave the way for an entertaining weekend following Friday’s release.
Nintendo have also announced special launch events across the UK to commemorate the release of Wii Sports Resort.
Visitors will be treated to a tropical island party in WSR style complete with music, the chance to play the game hands-on and giveaways including the chance to win a luxury water sports and beach holiday in Halkidiki.
The events are being held by retailers at the following locations:
Game, 100 Oxford Street, London, W1D 1LL (9am to 9pm)
Argos, Unit 2, The Gantry, 22-26 The Headrow, Leeds, LS1 8EQ (8am to 8pm)
