Australia, 26 August, 2009 –

More and more Wii™ users are escaping to paradise with the second instalment of Wii Sports™ – Wii Sports Resort™. Independent market research group GfK Retail and Technology Australia confirms that only four weeks since launch, Wii Sports Resort has sold through more than 100,000 copies*.
Wii Sports Resort comes packaged with the new Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which easily connects to the Wii Remote and gives players new levels of precision and performance when used with specially designed games such as Wii Sports Resort.

Wii Sports Resort is set on Wuhu Islands and contains 12 sports: Swordplay, Archery, Golf Canoeing, Wakeboarding, Basketball, Bowling, Cycling, Frisbee®, Table Tennis, Power Cruising and Air Sports. Depending on the sport, players can compete solo or against other players.

All the sports use the precision controls of the Wii MotionPlus accessory to help players come much closer to the physical reality of engaging in the actual sports. Every real-world action, whether it’s a perfect drive on the fairway or a slice off the course, is replicated on screen.

Wii Sports Resort maintains the wide-ranging appeal of the original Wii Sports™, as it is easy for anyone to pick up and play, yet contains challenges for even the most experienced of gamers.
