Gameplay

edit

Wii Sports Resortis a sports video game set in a tropicalislandon anarchipelagonamed Wuhu Island.[11]The first time a player starts the game, several instructional videos will play, then the strap usage screen and the Wii MotionPlus test. Finally, the player will skydive to Wuhu Island. Twelve different sports are available; like the originalWii Sportsgame, the sports are each played by holding theWii Remote(and in some cases, theNunchuk) like the actual sport being replicated.

Most notably, inArchery,the player holds the Wii Remote vertically to hold theBowand pulls back the Nunchuk to pull back the bow's string. The new feature thatWii Sports Resortbrings isWii MotionPluscompatibility, which enables 1:1 control and allows the games to be played with greater accuracy. For example, the game's new variation, Table Tennis, gives the player greater control over addingspinto the ball by twisting the Wii Remote while swinging. In Golf, the player can spin the ball by rotating the Wii Remote while swinging. Some sports involving more than two players supporthot seatmultiplayer, in which just one Wii Remote is needed and is shared among players while taking turns. The only games returning from the originalWii Sportsare Bowling and Golf, while Table Tennis was originally a game inWii Playalthough played in a radically different way using the pointer instead of the movements of the player. The other nine sports are entirely new and unique to the game.

List of sports

edit

Some of these sports are one-player, and some have a different version of the sport that is two-player. Most sports support multiplayer; in those sports, the maximum number of players is two or four, depending on the game. Three of the previously available sports,Tennis,BaseballandBo xing,are unavailable.

Setting

edit
"Wuhu Island" redirects here. For the prefecture-level city in China, seeWuhu.

Wuhu Island is a fictional tropical island that is the largest of anarchipelagoof various islands and rock formations.[13][dead link‍]"Wedge Island" is the second largest island of the archipelago, where the golf minigame takes place inWii Sports Resort.[14]At the center-right of the island, a large volcano is prominent, called "Maka Wuhu" ( "Mt. Tenganamanga" in the European version of the game). To the south, a town and beach can be seen, called "Wuhu Town" and "Sugarsand Beach", respectively.[13][dead link‍][15]To the west, a group of wind turbines and a lighthouse can be observed. At the center of the island, there is a large lake, called "Duckling Lake", which contains a waterfall.[13]

History

edit

Wii Sportsdemo andWii Fit

edit

Before being given a name, a similar but less detailed version of the island was featured in a playable demo atE3 2006titledWii Sports: Airplane,[14][16]a minigame similar toPilotWingswhere the player would fly a plane around an island, passing through rings on a set time limit.[16][17]The game was showcased alongside other sports demos of other sport-related minigames,[18]which were later incorporated intoWii Sports;the airplane minigame was never added into the final game,[14][19]but was later repurposed in a jogging minigame forWii Fit.[14][20]The island was called "Wii Fit Island"[g]in the game's manual,[22]although the island lacked certain characteristics that were refined later on in future Nintendo games, such as inWii Sports Resort.[14][23]

Wii Sports Resort

edit

To celebrate the release ofWii Sports Resort,on 23 July 2009, Nintendo transformed a part ofTimes SquareinNew York Cityto a beach-style vacation area based on Wuhu Island, containing a beach, pool, lounge, and bar. Additionally, people who visited were allowed to play the full game before its intended release on 26 July 2009.[24]In the Air Sports minigame, players can fly around the island freely, seeing more details than in other minigames.

In an interview withSatoru IwataaboutWii Sports Resort,Shigeru Miyamoto's intentions of the island was to make it a notable franchise,[25]saying that he thought of having an island concept for more than 10 years.[23]He suggested the island was so much of a concrete location, with polished graphics and key details, it was as if it has become its own character. He furthered that the island generated familiarity, stating, "We thought it would be a fun idea to have a location that everyone knows and then have all sorts of stuff going on there." Miyamoto agreed that the island would be featured in multiple genres of video games, listingadventure games,role-playing games,andsimulation games.[25]

Later appearances

edit

A few months after the release ofWii Sports Resort,Wii Fit Plus,the successor ofWii Fit,utilizes the island as its location in several of its minigames.[26]

Wuhu Island is the named location of the third installment of thePilotWingsseries, titledPilotWings Resort.The game features gameplay similar to the piloting minigame inWii Sports Resort.[27]

Mario Kart 7includes three courses set on Wuhu Island, those being "Wuhu Loop", "Maka Wuhu", and "Wuhu Town".[28][15]A glitch was later discovered where the player was able to skip sections of the Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu maps, which Nintendo fixed a few months later.[29]The Wuhu Town map was also included inMario Kart 8 Deluxe.[15]

Wuhu island acts as a selectable stage in Nintendo'sSuper Smash Bros.series, first appearing inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.On the stage, the players fight on an airplane that flies around the island, stopping at various locations.[30][31]The stage returned inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Development

edit
Wii Sports Resortrequires the use of theWii MotionPlus(the rectangular peripheral below theWiilogo on the Wii Remote).

The idea for a sequel toWii Sportswas considered well before the advent of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral. Development only moved forward after realizing the new possibilities of the control.[32]The game was first revealed at Nintendo'sE3 2008press conference.[33]Two minigames,fishingandwater slideriding, were first considered for inclusion in the game but were scrapped during development. A prototypekendamaminigame was also created, but it was left out of the final product as the developers felt it did not fit into the resort theme.[34]

While wishing to avoid sports that already were present inWii Sports,bowlingandgolfmade their return inWii Sports Resortwith changes. Bowling was added with the inclusion of a 100-pin mode and the addition of Golf (with additional courses) was imposed by Miyamoto after he talked in an interview about the influence of the player's backswing in golf.[35]

The principal setting ofWii Sports Resort,Wuhu Island, originally appeared atE3 2006in the scrapped "Airplane" mode forWii Sportsbut was subsequently changed to fit the mold of theWii Fitseries as "Wii Fit Island". It was then remolded again into the profile of a resort island, where it would earn its official name of Wuhu Island.[36][37]Hotels, a castle, some rock formations and ruins of an older civilization, and various sports arenas (such as the tennis courts fromWii Sports,a bowling alley, and a swordplay arena) were added.[38][39]The island has since appeared as a stage in Nintendo games such asWii Fit Plus(as well as itsWii UcounterpartWii Fit U),Pilotwings Resort,Mario Kart 7,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.[40][41]

Reception

edit

In May 2010, theAmerican Heart Association(AHA) endorsed the Wii to encourage sedentary people to take the first step toward fitness. The AHA heart icon covers the console, and its more active games,Wii Fit PlusandWii Sports Resort.[73][74]Nintendo PowerlistedWii Sports Resortand its predecessorWii Sportsas two of the best multi-player experiences in Nintendo history, stating that everyone can have fun with them, ranging from young children to grandparents. They also cite the wide range of sports available.[75]

Alex Spencer atKotakupraised the island setting for its design and attributes, saying, "Wuhu Island is rela xing in a way that games rarely are." He also compared the island to other maps in video game titles at the time, such asLiberty CityinGrand Theft Auto IV,first criticizing the island for its blocky geometry and empty space, but admiring the design of the island when viewed from the sky, with such flaws of the island vanishing.[21]Apaper craftmodel was created to represent Wuhu Island, featured byEngadget.[76]
