Nintendo shows Wii Sports sequel News

Wii News by Dan Pearson

15 July, 2008

Reggie Fils-Aime has excitably revealed the sequel to Wii Sports.

Dubbed Wii Sports Resort, it will be "literally a day at the beach", we're told. That means throwing frisbees for your dog to catch, sword fighting (yes that is a beach sport) and jetskiing. The game's due out "globally" next spring.

Central to it all was the newly unveiled MotionPlus Wiimote accessory. This adds another layer of precision to the motion-sensing capabilities of the console, and was very impressive to observe in action.

"Wii MotionPlus represents a much broader opportunity," said Fils-Aime, explaining that the new one-to-one responsiveness will "certainly take you deeper than ever before".

And that was just a "small taste" of Wii Sports Resort, apparently. We will bring you more on it from E3 later this week.

Head over to our full Nintendo E3 Conference live coverage to find out more.

Nintendo Likes Printing Money, Maybe it should open a money printing factory. No doubt, for them, it will sell very well.

(LIT er-e-lee) adv. 1. In a literal or strict sense. 2. Really, actually.

Done!

>One more ninty "accessory"

Yeah.. that'd be like sony giving us a rumble-add-on pack instead of allowing us pay 40 quid for a brand new pad just to get that feature.

I think Malik was talking about Nintendo, not us.
As in Wii Sports Resort isn't "literally" a day on the beach. It's "literally" playing a video game that represents a day on the beach.

Speaking of which is the European version going to be delayed as Nintendo incorporate the fact that the Germans want another game about placing towels on sun loungers.
