Wii Sports Resort

– Craig gave it a 7.7
– Matt pretty much agreed with Craig’s score, was hoping it wouldn’t be overrated
– Game does insane stuff for the casual crowd…Bozon’s niece got addicted to swordplay, family didn’t want Bozon to take the game home
– Some games in there that aren’t super great
– Really good compilation of mini-games but in terms of polish, doesn’t have everything you’d expect out of a really awesome Wii title
– Feels like step 1 for the mini-games
– Matt thinks that not having a Mario Bowling is a missed opportunity
– Ideas you’d expect Nintendo to use but then they don’t really use it that often
– Craig thinks the airplane controls well, skydiving portion is actually fun
– Can tell which games are tacked on and which are good efforts
– Bicycling isn’t fun
– The more Craig plays Wii Sports Resort, the more he understands what MotionPlus actually is – More like a glorified tilt sensor
– MotionPlus still not 1:1 but makes Wiimote much better controller
– Cycling is Bozon’s least favorite game, Craig thinks it’s the boxing of Wii Sports Resort
– In terms of controls, basketball isn’t the best
– Review scores have been all over the place

– Wii MotionPlus already over 150k+ sales
– Tiger Woods selling very well with the pack in
– Also showed up as multiplatform (NPD), Matt wants to know how well the Wii version sold

Torrance, Calif., (July 20,2009) – XSEED Games today announced that THE WIZARD OF OZ: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, for the Nintendo DS is currently in development and scheduled for release in North America in Fall 2009. Released as RIZ-ZOAWD by D3Publisher in Japan, THE WIZARD OF OZ: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road is an RPG inspired by the beloved tale of Dorothy and her magical journey through the Land of Oz, showing a unique new perspective on what happened after reaching the end of the Yellow Brick Road.

A tornado suddenly strikes a small farm in Kansas, savagely uprooting Dorothy and Toto with just one gust. After hours of dancing around in the bushel of wind, the pair eventually settles in an unfamiliar countryside. It is here Dorothy learns that the only way to return home is by following the ominous voice calling out to her to the end of the Yellow Brick Road. On her journey, Dorothy encounters some unlikely characters who eventually decide to join her on her quest.

About the Game:
The Rabbids first comedy-adventure will take them to the moon or bust!
