Review by R. Huner for Wii Sports Resort 8-in-1 Sports Pack

I received this sports pack a couple of days ago and proceeded to pretty much test every attachment that very evening. Everything looked pretty impressive when I opened the package. But there are some major shortcomings. The first is the fact that there are no instructions inside the box or anything. It may look like all the parts are pretty self explanatory, but a little guidance may have been helpful. I’ll break down each attachment for you here:
1. Sword attachment: This was one of the major reasons that I wanted to get this pack. My kids and I (even my 3 year old) love the swordplay in Wii Sports Resort. The issue I have with the Wiimote alone is that whilst the Motion + adds remarkable depth to all the games, it puts the balance of the remote off. In order to reach the A and especially the B button, you have to hold the remote “high” or “forward” which can be a bit uncomfortable. I was hoping the sword attachment would balance it out a bit, which it absolutely does. Kudos for that! However, you have two choices of attaching the sword to the Wiimote. First you can remove the gel casing and use the included “spacer” to fit it in. I DO NOT recommend this as it’s a pretty loose fit and it took me only about 10 slicing motions before the attachment became a “detachment”. It fits more snugly with the gel casing on the Wiimote. It does not come apart this way. Next I thought I was having the same problem that another reviewer was mentioning that you have to take the attachment off to start a game (point to the screen and press A). You do NOT have to remove the attachment to get it to work, but you do have to turn the Wiimote sideways or upside down so that the Infrared transceiver can “see” the sensor bar. It’s a bit of a hassle, but not insurmountable. The real problem is that during gameplay the attachment pulls the gel casing over the IR sensor and then your calibration is thrown off. Not good for the swordplay games at a higher level. That said I think I might be part of the problem. I may just “slice” too hard which jars the whole remote. My kids don’t seem to have issues. Overall grade for the sword attachment: C-.
2. Canoe Paddle: No real issues with this attachment and it seems to balance the motion. One of the better attachments in the set and you can use it with the wiimote’s gel casing intact. Because the attachment doesn’t cover the front/top of the Wiimote is doesn’t have the issues with the “point and press A” like the Sword. Overall grade: A-.
3. Golf club: Only issue with this attachment is the same as with the sword, you can’t point and hit the A button without turning the Wiimote sideways or upside down. But you don’t have to do this very often in Golf. It does balance the Wiimote for a better swing, but takes a bit of getting used to. You can put it on with the Wiimote Gel casing intact. Overall grade for the golf club attachment: B.
4. Table Tennis Paddle: One of the best attachments in the set. It really helps you hold the paddle the right way for game play. Only issue is the “point and press A” problem noted above. Overall grade: B+.
5. Frisbee: I see that other reviewers like this attachment and so does my daughter, but I have two major issues with it. First, despite the product descriptions implications you CANNOT use the Wiimote gel casing with the Frisbee. You have to remove the gel casing from the Wiimote, including the Motion Plus for it to fit into the frisbee. This is, to say the least, a pain in the you know where.. Second, I still haven’t figured out exactly how to hold the darn thing once the remote is in it. You need to press, hold and release B to “throw” the frisbee, but I’m finding it difficult to hold it like a frisbee and get at the B button. There’s a hole that I think you’re supposed to put you hand through to help, but my hand is just too big. Again, some insructions would have been nice. Overall grade on the Frisbee: D.
6. Wakeoarding: Like the frisbee, I’m annoyed by the fact that the Wiimote has to be removed from it’s gel casing to place into the wakeboarding handle. Other than that, though, it seems to work as expected for this game in which no buttons ever have to be pressed (except A at the beginning, but you don’t have to point). Overall grade: C- (mostly because I reall HATE having to take the gel casing off.
7. Archery: This one can be used with the gel casing (or without by using the “spacer”). That’s a plus. And the actual “bow” part of the attachment adds a little bit to the game. The issue is the “string”. The picture implies that you can “hang” the nunchuck from the string. Not so.. There is a little clip to “grab” the string, but it won’t stay there. And that makes it a little awkward to pull back whilst at the same time hold down the “Z” button. Also, be careful to only let go of Z and not the bow string itself when you’re firing or you likely drop the nunchuck. I do like the feel of the attachment, however despite the weird “pull the string back but hold Z at the same time” issue, the main bow part does seem to add to the gameplay. Overall grade: C
8. Power Crusing Handlebar: Oddly enough the attachment I was looking forward to the least in the set turns out to be pretty much the best of all. In fact, I don’t think I’d want to power cruise without this attachment now. The game is kind of awkward holding up your Wiimote and Nunchuck at an angle in front of you by themselves. But with the handlebars, you can really play the game a lot better. And I know that many consider the power cruising one of the weakest and least played games of the Wii Sports resort game pack, but with this atttachment, you’ll be more likely to want to play it. It really gives you an easier way to hold the controllers and “rev” the Wiimote for those power boosts. Overall grade: A
In conclusion, I’m still a little unsure whether I’m going to send this set back. It was a gift and a few of the pieces seem to work well, but overall I can’t give it a glowing recommendation. For around $30.00 I think the price is too high, especially if you think, like me, that you will be unlikely to use up to half the attachments.

On my son’s birthday, we opened up this set to go with his new Wii Resort. The set looked like fun. When we first tried putting the remotes in, they would not go in. We had to work hard to get it ready to play. After we got the remotes in, we tried to start a game. We could not understand why we could not pick a game. You have to take the front of the remote out of the foam pieces that came with the set, pick your game and then work to get it back in. You have to do this each time you start a game. Our second game was sword fighting. During the fight, the sword attachment flew across the room. The third game was table tennis. It looked easy enough to attach the paddle. We locked it in place and began the game. As we were playing, the paddle flew off and hit the base of our TV. I’m glad it was not an inch higher or it would have busted our TV. After that, I put the set back into the box. I was not taking the chance of busting our TV or hitting someone in the head. I am returning this set. I would rather play with just the remote, than try to struggle with this set.

I really enjoyed this purchase and it makes playing Wii Resort more fun. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is a snug fit with the attachments and the wii remote. It can be difficult to get it in but once its in its great. The frisbee attachment and archery bow really add to the game play.

We bought this game about a month ago……….and we have a lot of fun, every peripheral is essential; it gives you the real feel.
The Frisbee, I love the design, it matches to a beach look and its foam so it feels very comfortable in hands and also environmental friendly
The Wakeboard attachment is the right size and does the job, Bow attachment is really cool, and with this attachment my kids learn how to aim. – Row boat paddle, Ping Pong, Golf Attachment, and the Sword, I have one without the M+, no comparison, much more fun with the M+, it pays the upgrade.
In conclusion,
Pros: Increases Fun, Great Quality, Good Price,
Cons: The remote is strong in the attachment

What a pain. Talk about aggravation. If you’re like my family of four, we move from game to game to game pretty quickly. We don’t sit there and play the same game over and over. So – - – unless you want to constantly be changing your remotes in and out of the accessories every single time you change games, not to mention we play all at once so we need to purchase 3 more sets so everyone has one – and you know how kids are – my turn, my turn, my turn; then this should not be purchased. We all stand side by side and go from game to game to game. When you have to stop and 3 people wait for one person to change out their accessory, well……I hope you get the idea. It’s a “novelty item” that wore off in 3 seconds. I’m embarassed I did not think of these issues earlier. It may be better if you are a solo player, but even if I played alone, I realy can’t see myself stopping to change out the accessories.
The Wii remotes work just fine and do not need these ridiculous acccesories. If you practice, you will figure out how to properly hold your remote and find the best way to use it – and sometimes its different from what the game suggests.
I can’t review on how well the remotes stay in the accessories, and I can’t comment on durability since we will never use them again. They are already back in the box ready to be returned. I’m just glad I bought them locally so I don’t have to pay for shipping.
