E3 09: New sports revealed in Wii Sports Resort photo

I don't care what people say, I love (and still play!) the original Wii Sports. It is super addictive and, to this day, truly uses the Wii remote in the best way possible.

At last year's E3, Nintendo showed off three sports that would be featured in the new Wii Sports Resort (due out in July of this year). Using the brand new Wii Motion Plus attachment, I was able to play some pretty gosh darn rsponsive demos of frisbee, fencing, and waveracing. All three were awesome.

This morning, at the Nintendo press conference, six new sports were revealed: the awesome-looking (and sounding) sky diving, basketball, ping-pong, kayaking, BMX bike riding, and, my personal favorite so far, archery. All six looked really fun and, again, took full advantage of the Wii Motion Plus peripheral.

Take a look at the first official screens of the new sports in the gallery. I can't wait to try this game on the show floor! I am so excited!

Wii sports for me was getting drunk with a few mates, having a go on boxing, getting bored and that was it, over and over a few times. My bro liked the bowling and baseball quite a bit but even his wii just sits there doing nothing.
I'm glad you don't care what we say because I have nothing but bad things to say about you, encouraging this crap...boooo :P

The basketball demo looked particularly good. It looked like it worked really well, so hopefully EA Sports and 2K Sports will use Wii Motion Plus just as good in they're NBA titles on the Wii this year.

I used a bow and arrow back in middle school and loved it. I'm actually a little excited about the addition of archery!

I've spent so many hours on Wii Sports with family and friends over the years. It might not be 'core' but it sure is fun. I can't wait for this.

Awesome stuff. Wii Sports is probably one of the most played games on the Wii [because it comes free]. Personally, I'd love to see some MMORPGs on the Wii or in fact, any of the 'current gen' consoles. So far, FF11 is the only one, which saddens me.
