I went out to Nintendo to play some.Wii Sports Resort.today, and quickly became obsessed with something we didn't expect to find.One of the best games I've seen so far in the upcoming collection of summer-themed mini-games is archery, which uses the Wii MotionPlus add-on to create as realistic a simulation of a bow and arrow as I've ever felt in a game. Every little shake of your hand changes the arrow's flight – it's easy to stick bulls-eyes in the opening levels, but it quickly becomes much more challenging.And in true Nintendo fashion, there are Easter eggs hidden throughout the games. We found one in archery, which takes the form of a small watermelon sitting on a cliff in the round pictured above. If you swing your bow around to the left, you'll see it, sitting far off in the distance. Of course, I had to try to hit it. Actually, I spent easily 15 minutes of my demo trying over and over again to put an arrow through the melon.Couldn't do it.
But I got tantalizingly close a few times. Each round was different, since I had to continually adjust for the wind. And aiming was much harder, since you had to aim quite high above the melon because it was so far away. Eventually, after coming extremely close a few times (once the arrow passed right underneath the curve of the melon on the right side), I came to grips with the fact that I had to move on to some other games.Much like the secret melon challenge, the games of Wii Sports Resort are tougher than the original title's, because of the precision of the MotionPlus. I didn't get a single strike in bowling. I constantly sliced in golf. You can't rely on what worked in the last game, you have to actually watch all of the little motions you're making.Wii Sports Resort will be available on July 26.
