Nintendo announced it’s releasing its next juggernaut, Wii Sports Resort, in July…

Published on Jun 3, 2009

The original Wii Sports, the game that helped sell millions of Nintendo Wii consoles, is now the biggest selling videogame of all time. Granted, it’s attained that by being bundled with a games console, but there’s a fair bet that a fair few people would have stumped up for the game anyway.

We’ll find out just how popular it is soon, anyway, as Nintendo has formally dated its sequel, Wii Sports Resort, which it will be unleashing into the world from July 26th.

The game will include golf, Frisbee throwing, archery, table tennis, cycling, canoeing, power cruising, air sports, bowling, swordplay and wakeboarding, and it’ll take advantage of the incoming Wii MotionPlus accessory. The new controller is set to add more precision to interacting with the games themselves, and unsurprisingly, there are a host of games queuing up to use it.

Now you just need to prepare to teach your relatives how to throw a Frisbee using the damn thing. We find it’s best to give them a couple of drinks first…
