Wii Sports Resort is the new WiiPlay.

(People will complain sales should not count as well)

 

And they'll be right, but it just shows Nintendo's genius this generation. They can sell any game they want as long as they bundle it with some controller "upgrade." First, Wii Sports and the Wii just to get the new controller. Then Mario Kart (useless wheel), Wii Fit, and now Wii Sports 2.

Why would anyone own a Wii and not get the game that makes the controller better, or the way it was advertized.

Ok I get what you are saying but come on. Do you mean to say that people buy Mario Kart WII because of the wheel? Sure it´s a nice feature and clever way to market the game but it would be useless if Mario Kart weren´t such a great game.

As for Wii Sports Resort, Wii motion+ sure looks great in my opinon and I would definately get it in itself if good games were to follow it, but I´m gonna get Sports Resort with or without it and I´m sure many besides myself would too.

 

 

 

Yeah, I'd say Mario Kart is more getting people to waste money on plastic to accompany the game, but I know there are a lot of people that bought it just because of the wheel.  It worked both ways and I agree with you that it was good marketing.  I thought it lacked features that the previous games had, so I didn't like the new Mario Kart as much.  In fact, it had 2 fatal flaws:  no co-op Grand Prix and no FFA battle mode.  Anyway, I digress...

 

So now we're at the point where a traditional successfull franchise like Mario Kart sells because of a piece of plastic? Try not to get too desperate.

Mario Kart Wii is the best MK since the SNES and the online is fantastic. It has more characters/courses/vehicles than any MK before but obviously Wii owners don't buy quality games, so it has to be becuase of the Wiil....sad.
