Kyle Orland: For me, Wii Sports Resort represents nothing less than the final fulfillment of the promise of the Wii, circa 2005. Back then, we were first told about a Remote that would accurately record our real-world motions and convert them into in-game actions. What we got instead was a Remote with a touchy accelerometer that was useful mainly for making Link swing a sword when you shook it a bit. It'll be nice to see the Wii MotionPlus accessory turn the Remote into the true motion translator we were all expecting. Sure, throwing frisbees and bonking kendo sticks might not be the most exciting initial uses for that technology, but add in some friends and some alcohol, and it should be just as fun as the original Wii Sports -- and, hopefully, a good proof of concept for other developers to follow.

Scott Jones: Ah, Kyle. You love Nintendo so much you should marry it. I kid. Anyway, I did like the original Wii Sports. But that was a pack-in freebie, the first pack-in freebie in a very long time. As someone who's old enough to remember them, I also remember that expectations are typically extremely low for pack-in freebie games. So, I think we were all pleasantly surprised when 1. Wii Sports didn't stink, 2. it was more than a tech demo, and 3. it featured a surprising amount of depth. But I think we'll expect more -- a lot more --from Wii Sports Resort. And I resent the fact that Nintendo is basically making us buy yet another peripheral/attachment thing (Wii MotionPlusAttachmentThatWillCostYouMoreMoney). I'm all for innovation, but haven't we given you enough of our rupees, Nintendo?

Outlook: Resentfully optimistic?
