WaveRave, Wii Sports, Duelling, 1:1 Motion Recent News
Nintendo has just revealed Wii Sports Resort for Wii, which is due for release in Spring 2009. Following on from the success of Wii Sports, Nintendo is set to use its newly unveiled Wii MotionPlus accessory for 1:1 motion in various new games, such as Disc Dog (where the player throws a frisbee like in nintendogs), a version of WaveRace and a mini-game that lets gamers engage in Sword Duelling.
The game will come bundled with an extended Wii Remote Jacket and the MotionPlus device, both of which will also be sold separately. As Reggie himself says, lots of Third Parties are contemplating how best to use Wii MotionPlus. Obviously nothing will be coming just yet, but expect something 'soon'.
Update
A very short Factsheet for Wii Sports Resort;
Wii Sports™ Resort
Format: Wii™
Launch Date: Spring 2009
ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)
Game Type: Sports
Accessories: Wii MotionPlus (included)
Players: 1-4
Developer: Nintendo
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.

The Sword Duelling looks promising, and the Disc Dog mechanics could be applied to other games (throwing a boomerang etc.)
Virtua Tennis or Grand Slam Tennis? Reviewing both now for C3.

That's about the size of it, unless they have other stuff they've just refused to mention. Which is likely.

Well if everyone had your sad attitude NOTHING would change.
What so you can lag badly and get pissed off at Nintendo some more. Give me a fucking break.

Because plenty of games on wifi connection are pretty smooth, it's the interface that sucks.

If you stop to think about pastimes associated with a summer vacation, several of the things that spring to mind will be included in Wii Sports Resort, so said 'The Reggienator'.
Furtive exposure of your white bits in the sand anyone? Perhaps there'll be some bottle throwing game where you have to keep the Germans from nabbing the sunbeds. Or how about the smell of drains in Benidorm? Now that's an accessory to think about.

Now this looks interesting. That demo kind of blew me away. Especially the the disc throwing. It detected every single one of her motions. When she moved and rotated her arm, man this looks awesome.
Now the only downside is purchasing yet another bloody peripheral...

The sword game looks sweet It'd be hard to beat the computer at that, though.
I don't really mind a new add-on at all for new and fun games, it's not as if it's gonna make a massive hole in someone's pocket.

I think it might be time for Newspapers to look over their sponsorship contracts...
