Wii Sports Resort has arrived in Asia

Last month, we got some hands-on time with Wii Sports Resort, the first-party Nintendo game that comes bundled with Wii MotionPlus. While most of the minigames are new, you'll recognize a few classics from the original title such as golf and bowling. That aside, there's a lot of new activities in Wii Sports Resort, all of which take advantage of Wii MotionPlus.

During our demo, we especially enjoyed our time with table tennis and archery. After playing with the final version for about a week now, table tennis remains among the highlights of the game. The capability to perform top spin and fades on the ball makes for a very satisfying experience.

Editors' note:

The Singapore pricing and availability are provided by Nintendo's Asia distributor MaxSoft.

We also enjoyed the frisbee game where MotionPlus really shines. You have complete 1:1 control over your character's toss, in which you must have a dog catch the disc in a bull's-eyed area.

Wii Sports Resort comes bundled with one Wii MotionPlus attachment and rubber sleeve and is already available in Singapore for around S$80 (US$57.60). Do call up your local gaming retailer to check on its pricing and availability in your country.
