This week, Nintendo releases one of the hot new Wii games of the year - the new Wii Sports Resort, based on the old Wii Sports.

This version, Wii Sports Resort, updates the old Wii Sports game that came with many Wii console packages when the Wii console was first released. Sports Resort has some new games, and also includes new features to take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is an accessory for the Wii controller that provides lots more control for the motion sensitive Wiimote controller. This new sports Wii game includes 12 different sports, including some new ones like archery, jet skiing, sky diving, and sword dueling.

Some of the early reviews have said the new games take advantage of the technology really well, but might not go far enough, because they don't offer a longer experience with the new MotionPlus technology. With the new games like swordplay and archery, the features of the better control are great examples of use of the MotionPlus technology, and also the older games like bowling and golf have been tweaked to make them a whole lot better in this version. Some reviewers though were somewhat disappointed with the fact that technical issues caused trouble, like having to recalibrate the controller constantly by setting it down on a level surface in between games. They also found that not all games, such as wakeboarding and flying a plane, are as interesting as the swordplay and archery games for example.

Some gamers might be bored with more sports, finding that the mini games are not be as much fun, and the games from the old version, like bowling and golf, don't add much. Still, using the new controller accessory means there's something new to try here, and improve the quality of game play. So, at least for practicing and trying to improve your score, it sounds like it's still worth buying. The Wii Sport Resort package comes with the Wii MotionPlus accessory included, so the $49.99 price tag might be worth it (the MotionPlus retails for $19.99 by itself). Right now, get Wii Sports Resort discounted at Amazon, with free shipping, for $46.99.

Our take is that ultimately, it is probably a good idea to get Wii Sports Resort to add to your Wii games collection and practice using the new Wii MotionPlus accessory.

The Wii Fit was instrumental in making the Nintendo Wii console a big seller again last holiday. To keep people active, new games and videos are coming out for the Wii Fit to help add to the fitness craze it started.

For example, EA Sports Active, coming out soon, brings more "Western" style exercise to the Wii Fit, meaning more action and activity, versus the balance and yoga of the first videos for the balance board. The games include running and jumping to get that heart rate up.

Nintendo is also releasing the Wii Fit Plus game, an upgrade to the current Wii Fit that comes with the balance board. There are new options for workout routines added to this new game. There are also games tha tlet you run and jump, making it a boost to your cardio workout, and it comes wiht new workout routines and monitors.

The Wii Fit continues to build the interest in "exer-gaming" meaning making fitness fun, and also for the whole family. These are exercises that kids can do, as well as parents, to keep everyone active and in shape.

Pilates is even coming to the Wii Fit. One of its promoters, former MTV VJ Daisy Fuentes, has made many Pilates DVDs, and she’s now bringing Pilates to the Wii.

Sega will be releasing “Daisy Fuentes Pilates” which the Wii controls, as well as the Balance Board, to monitor your movements and make sure you’re doing the exercises the correct way. “It focuses on the connection between your mind and body, giving you smooth control over your movements,” she says. “And the Wii is a great way to practice it.”

As you can see, the Wii Fit has a lot going for it to make it part of your daily routine for fitness.
