A video on Nintendo's Japanese Wii website reveals two more sports for their upcoming game.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18463

According to a video on the Japanese Wii website, Table Tennis and Golf will both be featured in Nintendo's upcoming MotionPlus-featuring game, Wii Sports Resort.

Golf was previously available in the first Wii Sports, and Table Tennis was featured in Wii Play. Both games will be improved by Nintendo's new peripheral Wii MotionPlus.

The two sports join Frisbee, Kendo, and Jet Skiing as confirmed games in Wii Sports Resort. The game is rumored to have about 10 games in total.

Wii Sports Resort is scheduled to come out this June in Japan, and on July 24 and July 26 in Europe and North America respectively.

Thanks to nintendoexpert89 for the tip.

I find it very intriguing (yet slightly unsurprising) that WSR is going to feature Golf, a sport already featured in the previous title. I wonder if WSR will also feature other improved versions of the prior games to show off the capabilities of WM+ to the blue ocean market...

I was already planning on getting this, but glad to hear there are more than 5 events.

Baseball and Boxing would also benefit from MotionPlus, as would Tennis, but this could easily turn into a pure rehash of the first Wii Sports.

Table Tennis is a perfect choice that hadn't even occurred to me.

Since I love Ping Pong to death, I'm glad to see it in WiiWare.

hopefully the version of table tennis will be great. I hated rockstar game and Wii Play version sucked

The Mario Party 8 ping pong was cool.

I'm still hoping for the flying game to be included.

But I'm also hoping that the entire WiiSports is included as a M+ upgraded unlockable after you get Pro status in everything.

Sorry, Wii Plane suffered a midair collision with Icarus over Canada. No survivors.

FAA is still investigating.

Table Tennis with M+? Hell Yeah.

Hang-gliding would fit well with the resort theme...

I really doubt it, my guess is that it may have 1 more game from Wii Sports that they felt could be improved but that will be it. Should be interesting to see how Golf will compare to Tiger Woods.

I'm sure golf will be TW lite, if you go by how the video of the control is implemented in table tennis, to what we already know about TW10

People had trouble mastering the Golf controls in the original Wii Sports. Motion Plus should allow players for more control of their swings and force.

That's kind of disappointing. Golf is already being covered by Tiger Woods and table tennis has been included in way too many Wii games, not to mention there's a regular tennis game with Motion + being released.

I hope the remaining sports to be revealed are something more unique and/or interesting.

I don't know why you guys/girls are bitching. Having Golf in the game is a good thing.

Golf was decent in the last offering. With this being the sequel to a PACK-IN game, I don't understand why having an improved version of a mini-game is something bad.

Sure we all want new exciting games, but how many of you disliked golf in WiiSports? Then is it so bad to try it again with better controls? And how many of you liked golf in WiiSports? Well don't you want a new version with better controls?

And Table Tennis sucked in WiiPlay. It was basically Pong except with waggle controls. It is in need of better controls and I am excited to try it out.

I'm not whining. I may FLY OFF THE HANDLE though.

Wii Sports Golf was the only golf game at the time. Golf has been dome multiple times on Wii and even one which uses Motion +. Personally I'd rather Wii Sports Resort have unique sports which are either not available or have been done poorly.

Table Tennis might be different than regular tennis. Maybe.

Stogi · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2009, 07:37:59 PM »

This game is not about you.

I know. That doesn't mean I can't have preferences. Is that a crime?

Yes it is. You should apologize.

I'm sorry I refuse to conform to the standards and expectations of others.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to go file off the serial numbers of these firearms I'm going to sell.

Not everyone likes video game golf enough to warrant a purchase of a stand-alone game.

I still hope for a disc golf game in Wii Sports Resort. I think it is the most natural and awesome inclusion you can make in the game.

If Nintendo doesn't do it...SOME DEVELOPER should. Wii Ware anyone?

Disc Golf is already included in Tiger Woods 10.
