Posted July 9, 2009 I was as surprised as you seem to be. I also got a frisbee! Pictures tomorrow, just so you all know that I wasn't totally intoxicated at the time of writing. Is the kendo brawler awesome, Y/Y? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 Is the kendo brawler awesome, Y/Y? Incredibly awesome, it's one of my favourites of the lot. Playing it is equivalent to those "wow" moments you first had when you unboxed and played the Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 oh god not again those cheapass paper sleves, please tell me this comes inside a normal game box:cry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 Rest assured, it will. This is a review copy, so I'm guessing it's just a promo sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 Tbf review packaging like that is pretty cool, you'll be able to get a normal boxed copy of it anywhere when it's released but rest assured that review copies that come in alternate packaging usually become collectable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 I'm pleased to hear it's awesome! I'm preying i absolutely adore this game cause it's one of only a few that i'm really hyped about playing! Any chance of sending that review copy to me for a go? haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 10, 2009 Hmmm. I don't know if I need another hand - I was planning to use the two I've already got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a review copy, so I'm guessing it's just a promo sleeve. oh good, i was scared that nintendo was going the same road as the wiisports bundle nowadays (cardbox sleeve). And how is wii sports resort does the motion plus work good in this game? Im assuming it has better graphics that the original wii sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 I read all of the Iwata Asks, and was quite interested about the whole Island Concept. From what I can see, most Wii games from now on (Think, Play, Music, Sports, Fit) Will take place on this Island. There was a mode that I hadn't even heard of until reading the interview where you have to slash 70 Mii's with your sword, that looked pretty funny :P EDIT: That review box looks lush! It's a shame it won't sell like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2009 Hmmm. I don't know if I need another hand - I was planning to use the two I've already got. Nah, this hand is for reviewing purposes only. And how is wii sports resort does the motion plus work good in this game? Im assuming it has better graphics that the original wii sports. MotionPlus works extremely well. The recalibration is annoying, but not overly intrusive. Especially if you're playing in short bursts. And the graphics are quite lovely - the water effects in canoeing/wakeboarding particularly, and the lovely air resistance effects in skydiving and air sports. There was a mode that I hadn't even heard of until reading the interview where you have to slash 70 Mii's with your sword, that looked pretty funny :P That mode is brilliant. It's like the Crazy 88 fight at the end of Kill Bill Vol. 1, combined with Indiana Jones vs. the voodoo people in Temple of Doom. But with less blood spatter and limb-eating crocodiles.

Posted July 15, 2009 If you're not in a rush for this, you can get it for £30.39 from Argos! Link to the HotUkDeals post on how to get this price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2009 ^ Why do you say 'if you're not in a rush'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2009 ^ Why do you say 'if you're not in a rush'? I know it say's guranteed delivery for launch, but it's a very in demand game, so stock could be limited and it's not a site where people usually order pre-ordered games from is it? Don't want another case of, "My £17 Conduit isn't here, meh". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 16, 2009 Yup, that be an awesome deal. Good job welsh_gamer, you really are the most incredible bargain hunter. Euro site is now live BTW: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wii/wii_sports_resort_12541.html Me excited. What event are people going to play first? (Apart from Skydiving obviously) It would be Swordplay for me, but I've been so looking forward to flying the airplane since that demo was shown at E3 2006, so I'll be jumping right into Island Flyover!

Posted July 18, 2009 i've got a question im curious about. When the wii launches we had the wiimote, but with the regular wiimote you have some sort of weird delay. Is that delay gone or less noticable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2009 Gametrailers review is up: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-wii-sports/52930 I'm looking forward to this, I still play Wii Sports even after 2 and a half years so I'm hoping this will keep me going just for just as long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
