In retrospect, I completely agree. This game stands the test of time. I keep coming back to it after I get bored of other more modern games. It never gets old.
Nooo? I have kinect,and sport game on it. The wii graphics look like from 1990s the remote is rediculous. The kinect 2 works perfectly without it. I have a wii and its just there in the corner of my room unused
Claudia You are wrong...Go and watch a game from 1990...The games for wii look better....And they are fun... fun>graphics xbox,ps=graphics wii or Wii U=fun if you aleardy have a pc you should get a Wii or a Wii U....Xbox (360,one) and ps(4,3) are like a PC but worse....Wii and Wii U got MANY exclusive games. (Sorry for my bad english im from Romania)
Swordplay- Insanely intuitive and challenging! Wakeboarding- Satisfying seeing your points rack up! Frisbee- Incredible precision possible, and nice to try and get a high score! Archery- Incredible precision with the Wii Motion Plus, and the hidden fruits are super cool! Basketball- Incredibly addictive and super fun with friends! Table Tennis- Awesome controls and depth. So much replay value! Golf- The insane amount of complexity and strategy possible! Bowling- Many different modes with each having a different feel! So much fun with friends, and trying to get a better score! Power Cruising- High speed fun with cool stages and visuals! Canoeing- Intense, and addictive! Awesome VS mode! Cycling- Nail-biting, and a lot of variety in the course layout! Air Sports- Island Flyover is super relaxing and fun! So awesome to explore Wuhu Island! I love this game to death. 10/10 for sure! It deserves a better score. Here's to Wii Sports Resort!
I love basketball, and cycling is really fun once you unlock a couple tracks, and bowling is so much better on here than on wii sports. The monument collecting is really challenging and also there are some secrets to be found and many easter eggs.
"We look forward to seeing how other games use the Wii MotionPlus" ... then Skyward Sword happens... (well, there was Wii Play Motion which was good, but other than that it was just Skyward Sword and that was awful)
Never played Red Steel 2. I've played Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play Motion and Skyward Sword. SS the controls were terrible, no matter what they kept going out of calibration and I had to keep recalibrating them. Resort wasn't the best controls, however it worked in most sports. Play Motion probably worked best for me.
You should definitely get Red Steel 2, one of the better games for the Wii definitely. It is a Semi open world (Each level is like a small sandbox with points of no return) first person Shooting/Sword Slashing game set in a Western/East Asian fantasy universe, and it manages to be 60 fps on the Wii
@cottonwell I seen IGN give other games that were not Mario high scores. For example, they gave Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero for the PS2 an 8.3 out of 10. I played it since I was twelve years old, and it's still one of my favorite racing games. The only thing I disagreed with IGN was the music because they thought that the tracks were uninspired, but I thought that the music was great. I noticed that they also score most games higher than Gamespot except for a few that I can remember.
Dude, I bought this a couple days ago and it is AWESOME. Swordplay is definitely the best sport, but there are a lot of other good games, too, such as jet skiing, table tennis, and archery (Ha, as explained in review) . I would personally rate this game an 8.5, so buy it. Sooo worth it.
They should make a game that uses the same engine as the sword play! That would be awesome. But they should also put in some stuff to make it non repetitive like power ups or some thing...
No one should thumb this comment down. Weather its an acuart description of personal favs or not, on sales, theres no faulting it. DS has won over the market. Even my Dad owns one. Wii is the most owned console. Xbox 360 beat ps3 hands down in sales and the psp is more owned than the PS3. Well put.
One more thing: A prototype is complete, and we saw that at E3 in full operation. Any tweaks to the technology now will be minor. This isn't just a concept presented to tease us like the Zelda Movie trailer did.
@redLuigi11 What i meant was, looks, plays, and feels like the sword mini game. But just make it bigger... Like an adventure game with that as the combat or something...
Anyone notice a lot of the mini games in Wii sports resort are like some actions in skyward sword the airplane sightseeing is flying your loftwing Skydiving is Skydiving Swordplay is Swinging Your sword archery is when you obtain the hero's bow and use it and bowling is when you roll bombs and other objects its like wii sports resort was a test to see if skyward would be successful or not!
@nado2010able yeah. everything in this game requires the motionplus. right now you can buy one of the motion plus things used on amazon for $13 or you can get the refurbished game with a refurbished motion plus thing for $35 from amazon
@LuiDeca if you go to IGN's website, scroll down, on the right side of the screen there's a box that says "Top Games out Now". click on "View more top reviewed games". change where it says "Last 30 days" to "All Time" (short answer, yes, a lot of them... actually there was one less than a month ago)
It makes no sense that people are arguing over which console is better. All I see is ps3 sucks, xbox sucks, and wii sucks. The console wars have been around for years. I thought people will grow out of it. Boy, I was wrong. Plus, what the hell people asking if this will be on 360 or ps3. It was made by Nintendo, so there will be no 360 or ps3 port. I have Wii Sports Resort and it is really fun. In my opinion, I would give this a 9.
dude how in the love of christy can u say that?! i mean how can you even compare bloody systyems each one has a diffeenm charm they are all good!! why complain?
@AkioET not really if you notice the PS move and new xbox came after the wii becuase they never was thinking of it. Also the xbox camrea probly is gonna be screwed up becuase the cam is just like the wii sensor bar so it probly will not detect movent also that means if ppl move around while your playing they will screw up the game nintendo will probly crush the PSmove and xbox so dont think they will fail
roleary, when I first played the sword play I thought "whaking like a madman" was the way to win too, but the best way is to press the B button to block the opponent's swing, the opponent then staggers and then a few whacks and you'll win.
I personally can't wait to see how they implement motion plus with the new Zelda game coming out. That should be really cool. Don't get me wrong the controls were really good on Twilight Princess but MotionPlus could and should make the controls all that much better.
@nachos908283 dude yes its the same idea but the move is made for more serious games not family games like the wii and kinect. But i would not get kinect as soon as it comes out because it might just might have problems picking up certain movements
@ipodluigi505 I know. And sometimes they complain if I win. "Why did you win? I worked hard." Maybe because I actually block and hit at the right time.
Actually in terms of gameplay I think the Wii is much better for CoD. Having owned all version (PS3, Xbox, and Wii) I prefer to play CoD on Wii due to the ability to use the Wiimote. Vastly superior to the dual analog.
Heh, funny thing is, boxing is still my favorite on the original. I didn't realize it was the most hated in mainstream. It was very tough to master but once I figured out the movements it became quite fun. Although it may seem like a spam contest, it isn't, you've just not had a good opponent.
Swordfighting gets insanely hard after a while. On the other hand, I did win 25 fights in a row. Now I'd be lucky to get two hits before losing. It's still funny though and "Showdown" mode is AWESOME.
the presentation doesnt matter to me. The Wii Sports Resort is a demo to the wii motion plus in my opinion just like the first wii sports, just to show you how precise is the wii motion plus. Its a really fun game to play but the best game is the sword mini game i never get tired of it, i hope they use the same mecanics on a Zelda or any other sword game in the future
If you like the first sports game then you should definetly get this. Simple as that. Golf and bowling are far improved (and more challenging), table tennis is better than original tennis, by far, and some of the new games beat the socks off any of the originals (archery is utterly amazing, the accuracy is incredible). There is now a high score table that everyone is involved in, so more competition between friends and family. and the new motion control is wonderfully intuitive. I love it.
Theres such a big difference in the reviews for this game from IGN, AU 6.5, US 7.7 and UK 8.9. I have been looking forward to this game for ages and am certainly getting it next Friday!
@ZXaznfreakXZ It says that it comes with the wii motion plus and the controller, I am pretty sure it should have the remote jacket as well, because I don't think you can buy them as a single item.....
@calmdude101 if the game takes turns like bowling or archery, then yes cause you only use one motion plus at the time, but table tennis. not so much. switching wii remote for each hit would be a pain. if one motion plus is used at a time: yes. if 2 are needed simultaneously: no
i give it an 89/100 It;s an awesome game but will get boring but luckily it is the kind of game you will play after you got bored of it. if it was a report card it gets an A
@NintendoGuy128 I read only parts of Gamespot's review for Skyward Sword, and they gave it a whooping 7.5 out of 10. Tom MC Shea made a mistake and said that game had bad controls, when the controls worked perfectly. That right there does not deserve a 7.5 because the editor's note has pin pointed out his error. At least IGN gave it a perfect 10.
You would think with the newest gen of the wii console, they would integrate the sensor into the damn system. Having the sensor sit on my tv is a little annoying and if someone walks in front of it, it interrupts the sensor...wtf.
but THIS GAME is ACTUALLY alot of fun atleast get he motionplus since youc an use it for all wii games lol (i think) or rent it if youa re on the fence but i ahve to say if this game had a story it would be AWESOME lol
ok this island has given me some good ideas i mean in wii fit you are jogging around it and in this game you are doing lots of sports and when you are flying and exploring the island you see all kinds of things going on. so how about a gta + sims kinda feeling now talking about gta i'm not maybe talking about shooting people but maybe driving around and stuff and doing some missions and stuff and have maybe 5 - 10 more islands and some vehicles u got your house and u get the idea ;)
You know, in my opinion, this game deserves a 10.
Probably an 8.7, but it still is on my top three favorite wii games. Wii sports pales in comparison
i want this game i never played it
Yes
I seriously think this is one of the best games of all time
Trust me. I like everything.

Ok, they say cycling is the worst. They clearly haven't seen how exciting and nerve-racking it can get.
Yeah but it’s murder on your arms. Power Cruising is the worst because it’s so difficult to steer.
The only people who dislike the wii are people who are too lazy to pick up the remote and move about
Nooo? I have kinect,and sport game on it. The wii graphics look like from 1990s the remote is rediculous. The kinect 2 works perfectly without it. I have a wii and its just there in the corner of my room unused

robert robert the fact that you even have to defend yourself to a game from the 90's shows your disposition towards this topic

Swordplay- Insanely intuitive and challenging!

I love this game to death. 10/10 for sure! It deserves a better score. Here's to Wii Sports Resort!
this deserved a higher rating
7.7???? IS THAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY IGN???? What is is with your old scoring system??
If only it had online multiplayer, with families being able to play against each other from around the world.
Well, you got Wii Sports Club for that.
But that game doesn't exist, really.
e: we seriously need this game on switch.
the lag back then tho
Trippik nowhere near as bad as it is in smash at least
Definitely a true Wii classic game.. swordplay is actually pretty awesome :D
13 years later we know, that this is one of the greatest Wii games ever made.
The fact that Wii was so advance in its time
It's crazy to imagine
Looking back this game is seriously underrated...
Who's here in 2018?
No, stop
What is wrong in watching it in 2018? It is a classic
2019
catlover67803 Who r u saying stop too?
Omafi Vargas well why do people even say who’s watching this very old video in this year and beyond. They’ll still be available to watch.
Cycling is actually my favourite game- that and table tennis
WTF? Cycling in this game is awsome!
Well not realy yeah its challenging but ur just moving ur arms in back fourth motion not that fun and it hurts so bad
David Cornell-Griffin I know right?
Lol
I love cycling too!!
I don’t personally enjoy it.
Reunido Bom diaa amor
Wii Sports Resort is my all time favorite video game.
this is the greatest nostalgic game ever.
This is that game that I stop playing for a long time, but when I finally pick it up and pop it in, I remember just how awesome it is
Those who appreciate GOOD gaming love Wii - and I'm one of them.
I love basketball, and cycling is really fun once you unlock a couple tracks, and bowling is so much better on here than on wii sports. The monument collecting is really challenging and also there are some secrets to be found and many easter eggs.
You CANNOT call this a 'tech demo'.
@EMPZHAR Being able to move your character around would be a welcome addition to swordplay as well
"We look forward to seeing how other games use the Wii MotionPlus"
... then Skyward Sword happens...
(well, there was Wii Play Motion which was good, but other than that it was just Skyward Sword and that was awful)
Never played Red Steel 2. I've played Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play Motion and Skyward Sword. SS the controls were terrible, no matter what they kept going out of calibration and I had to keep recalibrating them.
Resort wasn't the best controls, however it worked in most sports.
Play Motion probably worked best for me.
You should definitely get Red Steel 2, one of the better games for the Wii definitely. It is a Semi open world (Each level is like a small sandbox with points of no return) first person Shooting/Sword Slashing game set in a Western/East Asian fantasy universe, and it manages to be 60 fps on the Wii
And Go Vacation

I noticed that they also score most games higher than Gamespot except for a few that I can remember.
help im only 30 seconds in and the nostalgia is killing mE
I played this game for like two weeks with my younger sister when I went back home over the break. It's tones of fun; we had a blast.
I love this game so much. It deserves an 11.
I wish there were more Wii motion plus games
imagine the possibilities like a medieval fighting game or something
So far, this is the best game made for wii. I love it. Thank you Nintendo.
Dude, I bought this a couple days ago and it is AWESOME. Swordplay is definitely the best sport, but there are a lot of other good games, too, such as jet skiing, table tennis, and archery (Ha, as explained in review) . I would personally rate this game an 8.5, so buy it. Sooo worth it.
Only 7.7?
They should make a game that uses the same engine as the sword play! That would be awesome. But they should also put in some stuff to make it non repetitive like power ups or some thing...
Who's here before wii sports resort 2?
No one should thumb this comment down.
Weather its an acuart description of personal favs or not, on sales, theres no faulting it.
DS has won over the market. Even my Dad owns one. Wii is the most owned console. Xbox 360 beat ps3 hands down in sales and the psp is more owned than the PS3.
Well put.
Love sports resort. Loooooove. :D Even my parents are totally into it, and you can hardly get my dad to STOP bowling. LOL!
Lmao
@EMPZHAR They did. It's called Zelda: Skyward Sword. Game also contains a side of the Archery mode in the form of Link's bow.
anyone 2021?
*LMAO WHOMST TF DID THIS?!?!*
720p in a 2009 video
Wait. That's illegal.
was this dude playing a video game or taking a math test?
What
Wait what? I'm trying my best to find some type of sense in your comment but I can't
@@delvinisnaruto I like how your reply has 3 times more likes than the actual comment
@igor960000
No, there's:
-FlingSmash
-The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
-Wii Play Motion
-Red Steel 2.
Along with a few others.
i wish i had money to buy a wii
Hay i do to .
what's craigslist and kijijiji? :)
I AM NOT FROM RUSSIA!!
Good to know where are you from then Pakistan
seriously!?!?!?!?!
One more thing: A prototype is complete, and we saw that at E3 in full operation. Any tweaks to the technology now will be minor. This isn't just a concept presented to tease us like the Zelda Movie trailer did.
A lot of nostalgia from this game. Especially the music
Lots of nostalgia from this game
@redLuigi11 What i meant was, looks, plays, and feels like the sword mini game. But just make it bigger... Like an adventure game with that as the combat or something...
Wii Sports was so awesome that it outsold Super Mario Bros. as the best selling game of all time
Anyone notice a lot of the mini games in Wii sports resort are like some actions in skyward sword
the airplane sightseeing is flying your loftwing
Skydiving is Skydiving
Swordplay is Swinging Your sword
archery is when you obtain the hero's bow and use it
and bowling is when you roll bombs and other objects
its like wii sports resort was a test to see if skyward would be successful or not!
I really want to play this game.
Not just because it looks awesome but also because I want to reach Platinum status with Club Nintendo again.
7.7 but is still played actively 10 years later
@nado2010able yeah. everything in this game requires the motionplus. right now you can buy one of the motion plus things used on amazon for $13 or you can get the refurbished game with a refurbished motion plus thing for $35 from amazon

@mehpipi Well the wii is only $80 at gamestop. but the 3DS has so many cool features and its portable. i would say 3ds its the best choice.
dude how in the love of christy can u say that?!
i mean how can you even compare bloody systyems each one has a diffeenm charm they are all good!! why complain?
@AkioET not really if you notice the PS move and new xbox came after the wii becuase they never was thinking of it.

I'll admit, Cycling got my heart racing from the anxiety and adrenaline I got when I wanted to win and realized I wasn't gonna win
"Please note that none of these minigames will work without a wiimotion plus controller"
Dolphin emulator: are you sure about that?
roleary, when I first played the sword play I thought "whaking like a madman" was the way to win too, but the best way is to press the B button to block the opponent's swing, the opponent then staggers and then a few whacks and you'll win.
The guy playing is so tense, he looks like he's gonna stab somebody with a fork... taped to a Wiimote.
I personally can't wait to see how they implement motion plus with the new Zelda game coming out. That should be really cool. Don't get me wrong the controls were really good on Twilight Princess but MotionPlus could and should make the controls all that much better.

4:05 tandem cycling was always fun back in the days.
@ipodluigi505 I know. And sometimes they complain if I win. "Why did you win? I worked hard." Maybe because I actually block and hit at the right time.
Actually in terms of gameplay I think the Wii is much better for CoD. Having owned all version (PS3, Xbox, and Wii) I prefer to play CoD on Wii due to the ability to use the Wiimote. Vastly superior to the dual analog.
that sucks they lowered the score because the presentation ign is turing to gamestop
This aged well
Have you explored all of the island and completed all the power cruising and sword showdown areas?
Heh, funny thing is, boxing is still my favorite on the original. I didn't realize it was the most hated in mainstream. It was very tough to master but once I figured out the movements it became quite fun. Although it may seem like a spam contest, it isn't, you've just not had a good opponent.
Basically it means you're putting some spin on the ball to make it change direction.
Why am I watching this 10 years after it was posted
Swordfighting gets insanely hard after a while. On the other hand, I did win 25 fights in a row. Now I'd be lucky to get two hits before losing. It's still funny though and "Showdown" mode is AWESOME.
the presentation doesnt matter to me. The Wii Sports Resort is a demo to the wii motion plus in my opinion just like the first wii sports, just to show you how precise is the wii motion plus. Its a really fun game to play but the best game is the sword mini game i never get tired of it, i hope they use the same mecanics on a Zelda or any other sword game in the future
What`s really funny is that there was a socom4 ad right before this video
One of my favorite games of all time.
This game looks fun for friends and family. I am so getting it.
If you like the first sports game then you should definetly get this. Simple as that. Golf and bowling are far improved (and more challenging), table tennis is better than original tennis, by far, and some of the new games beat the socks off any of the originals (archery is utterly amazing, the accuracy is incredible). There is now a high score table that everyone is involved in, so more competition between friends and family. and the new motion control is wonderfully intuitive. I love it.
All the fencing games look awesome! I love the idea of including generic games,
Theres such a big difference in the reviews for this game from IGN, AU 6.5, US 7.7 and UK 8.9. I have been looking forward to this game for ages and am certainly getting it next Friday!
@ZXaznfreakXZ
It says that it comes with the wii motion plus and the controller, I am pretty sure it should have the remote jacket as well, because I don't think you can buy them as a single item.....
Lol wii sports resort was packaged with my wii
@Eduardogd2 you can use normal controller on wii. Did you forget about wii classic controller?
And u can always use ur gc controller, too.
yes you need motion plus, it comes with the game and you can get them seperately too for more players
@calmdude101
if the game takes turns like bowling or archery, then yes cause you only use one motion plus at the time, but table tennis. not so much. switching wii remote for each hit would be a pain. if one motion plus is used at a time: yes. if 2 are needed simultaneously: no
i give it an 89/100 It;s an awesome game but will get boring but luckily it is the kind of game you will play after you got bored of it. if it was a report card it gets an A
What? cycling is one of the best game in it!
@NintendoGuy128 I read only parts of Gamespot's review for Skyward Sword, and they gave it a whooping 7.5 out of 10. Tom MC Shea made a mistake and said that game had bad controls, when the controls worked perfectly. That right there does not deserve a 7.5 because the editor's note has pin pointed out his error. At least IGN gave it a perfect 10.
Who’s watching this 2020? Btw I remember playing this as a kid....Time flies so fast...
ps3 is where you get your moneys worth. though its expensive. but.. thats when savings kicks the door and saves u.
I don't agree at all it was real fun in big groups at least a 8.3 for me
i finally got to pick this game up and i've fallen in love with it
You would think with the newest gen of the wii console, they would integrate the sensor into the damn system. Having the sensor sit on my tv is a little annoying and if someone walks in front of it, it interrupts the sensor...wtf.
I wish that you could play adventure mode and walk around complete sidequests and mission and explore the island fully in a adventure/minigame game
I think they could've combatted the waggle friendlyness of swordplay by forcing you to stronger swings
but THIS GAME is ACTUALLY alot of fun
atleast get he motionplus since youc an use it for all wii games lol (i think) or rent it if youa re on the fence
but i ahve to say if this game had a story it would be AWESOME lol
The swordfighting is hella fun.
@sptaugner yea its suppose to. On the game case it says motionplus included inside.
The quality will get HD in like 5 min be patient its called video processing
You know what will be cool. more mii games for the 3ds. its cool being your mii and playing as it.
i just got this game yester day and i am loving the swordplay and archery modes
ok this island has given me some good ideas i mean in wii fit you are jogging around it and in this game you are doing lots of sports and when you are flying and exploring the island you see all kinds of things going on. so how about a gta + sims kinda feeling now talking about gta i'm not maybe talking about shooting people but maybe driving around and stuff and doing some missions and stuff and have maybe 5 - 10 more islands and some vehicles u got your house and u get the idea ;)
The Thing Which Lets you make more things and better control with your Wii Remote (TM)
