Topic: Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus Dated for America

[GoldenPhoenix]

What about the dual shock for the original Playstation?

The original PSone analog controller is still one of my favorites EVER.  Dual Shock was a step backwards except for the rumble support.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_Analog_Controller

Apparently it's a collector's item... wonder if I can find my old one and sell it for mad profit.

Ah sorry about that, I forgot all about the FIRST dual analog that was not rumble compatible. Should have remembered that Sony only changed their controller features after Nintendo showed that they could work! The dual shock came after the rumble pack, while the dual analog came shortly after Mario 64 I believe.

Pale, you're making a lot of assumptions about a game that hasn't been shown publicly since last July.  We really know very little about the final content of Resort.  Yes, today's announcement re-confirms the three events shown last year, but they have likely changed a great deal since the initial demo.

If the most compelling (simultaneous) multiplayer event is kendo sparring, I'll be fine with a single MotionPlus for a while.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Also we have to realize that Wii sports resort will have almost DOUBLE the events of the first game. Besides didn't they get away with full price in Japan with the first game?

With flying colored hippos.  Wii Sports Japan was a success.

I'm sorry but Wii Tennis IS Wii Sports.  As great as Wii Bowling is... Nine times out of ten if you ask someone to describe the Wii, the first thing they will bring up is Tennis.

And my point of the pass the remote thing being a let down is assuming it is going to be more forced in Resort than a result of the game being played.

For example, how much you want to bet the default mode for the sword fighting is trade off attacking a dummy of some sort?

Why exactly is it frisbee dog?  That is the kind of thing that would have been in a training mode in the original Wii Sports. The main game should be multiple people playing frisbee.

I guess the pessimist in me is just expecting more of these lame trade-offs that are going to lower the interactivity of the whole thing

And honestly, how can anyone be happy with the fact that the Wave Race clone is only a single player game out of the box?


All I can see is that they are asking me to pay at least 70 bucks for a sequel to what was a pack-in game... and that just doesn't feel right.

And because people seem to be confusing the math in this thread left and right, that's because I know for a fact I'm going to want to at least play this game two player.


Again, all my gripes will be moot if we end up seeing more Motion Plus attachments packed in with other great games.

Dude relax with the bulleted style points. It hurts my eyes. Secondly, we know nothing of the modes and only a little of the games. So the preemptive bitching isn't going to work.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I always thought there was a split almost between people playing Bowling and playing Tennis. My guess is that Wii Sports Resort will have 3 maybe 4 games that utilize two or more remotes.

[Spak-Spang]

Wii Tennis is my favorite Wii Experience ever. 

I just hope they add Wii Frisbee golf for Wii Sports Resort, they need to add more than just tossing to a dog....and Disc golf would be an amazing addition.

[Stogi]

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw videos of frisbee dog.

Where is Frolf at?

Seriously.

[Mop it up]

The price is exactly what I expected, there was no way it was going to be less than $20 because Nintendo can get away with charging $20.

Micro-evolutions are just something that have been fast becoming the trend with all technology, so it's something I have to learn to accept. It's been a part of computers for over a decade now, with all of the various cards, chips, and accessories you can buy to upgrade your computer. If someone doesn't want to buy those upgrades they can just wait until they're all available in a new model and buy that.

Anyways, I haven't been following up on any of the Wii Motion Plus games so I don't even know what it is capable of. It's something I'd want to try before buying though, so I hope they set up some demo stations of Wii Sports Resort in stores.

I can see there being mark-ups of the accessory and also Wii Sports Resort because of the potentially huge demand for it.

[Pale]

Heh, I'm not in the greatest of moods today, and I kept saying I know I'm being pessimistic.  But all I'm worried about is that all the games will be glorified single player games because of the inclusion of only one Motion Plus.

Like I said though, if this ends up being a situation similar to the N64 memory expansion (I ended up with like 3 of those because so many games packed them in) AND Wii Sports Resort is a great multiplayer experience... then I'll be happy.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

One-controller pack-ins didn't stop Wii Tennis and Bathroom Scales from taking off.

[Stratos]

Lotion Puss is a much better situation than $80 SNES games of the 1990s and having to change between the N64 Controller Pak and the Rumble Pak making it impossible for gamese to support both at the same time.

Perfect Dark and a few other games could use both just fine.


Also, some people cite Tennis as the headline game of WiiSports but Bowliong is the most popular in multiple households I know of and another friend of mine would have paid $50 for just Wii Boxing. Different strokes for different folks. Each game has a different type of appeal to different people. I think WSR will be the same way.

[TheYoungerPlumber]

Do we know when this game comes out in Japan?

[Stratos]

Do we know when this game comes out in Japan?

A month before the rest of the world gets it. Early June is what they've stated before.

Is there any confirmation about WM+ being removable from the condom?  I hate that damn jacket.
Also, I'm really hoping for 3rd party bundles here.  I already own 4 WiiMotes for Guitar Hero, and that would great for any EA Sports games that use it.

I would think you should be able to cut it out if it isn't easily removable.

[Caliban]

Cool. It's official now. I'll be getting WSRM+ pack, and a second M+.

[EasyCure]

pretty much.. who wants to buy me a 'lotion puss' for my birthday?

[Stogi]

When's your birthday?

[decoyman]

I think they just kind of HAVE to release a glove stop being snarky and calling it a condom, dangit[/i] with it too, since they're pushing the "USE A GLOVE" thing, and M+ makes it not fit anymore. The easiest thing is to just include the glove with M+.

I fully expect it to be removable.

[AV]

I hope Nintendo gives Wii sprorts Resort online features. They don't have to, but it would be great since its getting a World wide release. If nintendo is serious about getting casual gamers to connect Wii online having an online mode, and possibly a minigame that can only be unlocked if you go online would be the way to force it.

[KnowsNothing]

I want Mario-god-damn-Golf with my motion plus.

[Rize]

I had no expectations for price on this and 20 dollars is exactly what I would have guessed.  Exactly as much as the nunchuk.

[Mop it up]

That would be pretty sweet, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like Camelot want to make any more Mario games. That's why they made We Love Golf instead, which looks like a sea of blandness.

I would think you should be able to cut it out if it isn't easily removable.

That's definitely what I'm going to do.
