Pure Nintendo Review: Wii Sports Resort

The first Wii Sports ushered in a new generation of video games with the Nintendo Wii.  And now Wii Sports Resort aims to do the same, but does it revolutionize Wii gaming like the first title?  James and I summarize the best and worst sports in WSR below.

Swordplay

Swordplay is one of the more in depth sports in Wii Sports Resort, and as such, it’s one of the best sports in the game. It’s split up into 3 different modes: Duel, Speed Slice, and Showdown.

Controls for Dueling are pretty simple, you can either swing the Wiimote+MP to attack or you can hold the B button while rotating the Wiimote to block attacks. So if you want to block attacks from above, you’d hold B and hold the wiimote/sword horizontally.
