Unfortunately I think it's just throwing a frisbee at a dog

Does this require a motion plus for each player?

Yeah, one, but who the hell ever played Wii Sports single player.
Although I imagine a lot of the games are turn based anyway.
Anyway, I'm in. I got to play it at a press event a few weeks ago and it's really awesome, though I also really loved the original Wii Sports for what it is. I think gamers who tossed around the "tech demo" lingo with the original will find more to enjoy here, though if you're looking for RPG-like consistency and character development, you're totally barking up the wrong tree. Swordplay is awesome as shit, though, and it plays the way Boxing should have played in the original—you can be actually tactical with strikes and blocks instead of flailing around like a madman to win. My friends and I played Tennis for months, and Table Tennis will last us even longer.
It does come bundled with one MotionPlus, and like LewieP said, a lot of the games are turn-based, like how Bowling and Golf was in the original. Every other mode is 2p, so you might want to grab a second MP—though, honestly, the game is going to sell so retardedly well you'll probably just be able to ask a friend to bring a second one over. The only mode that I believe requires more than 2 people simultaneously is Canoeing, which you can get four people (all requiring MP) to paddle at once.
EDIT: Oh hey, Toys R Us has a deal where if you buy this between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday, you get a free $20 gift card. That's pretty awesome, I think I'll pick it up from there.
EDIT2: Apparently the above deal is only if you're a TRU Rewards Member, but you can sign up for free in-store. I'd do that before Sunday morning, though.
And if you're hesitant about the game, fuck, even Jeff Gerstmann gave it a 5/5, and he was a storied Wii-hater in the beginning.
I'm very undecided on this game (Wii Sports/Play have burnt me). I'm waiting for more reviews before I'm willing to give it a go. Gotta need Motion Plus at some point in the furture anyway though, so that's a selling point right there.
Oh shit, you're right. No way in hell it's worth that much.
The reviews have so far been pretty good, and I really want it. Some of the games just looks so very fun.
The way the thread was started was like it came strait out of Gamefaqs. o_O

Add me!
There are a lot of games that don't have simultaneous multiplayer anyway and just do the hot seat thing, though the multiplayer swordplay is pretty awesome.
Really, reviews for Wii Sports? You pretty much know what you're getting into. What didn't you like about the first one? If it's the minigame aspect to it, well, that doesn't really change, but there are a lot more games to actually play, and all of the different modes come unlocked from the get-go, so you don't have to grind through training mode like you did in the original.
Other reviews, though: 5/5 from Giant Bomb, A- from 1up, 89 from IGN UK, 8.0 from GameSpot, 7.7 / 10 from IGN US.
Go to Toys R Us. You get a free $20 Gift Card if you buy it Sunday between 10 and 2.
That's a free Motion Plus right there.

The fact that I hardly ever have people over here who'd like to play games, something more "casual" (please don't hurt me) like Wii Sports even less. Thus, the point of the game is kinda defeated.
It just looks like it's good fun.

Oh, no, that's fine—hell, I'm not going to hit you with a Mario-branded hat or anything for not buying the game.
For me, I'm going to rock this bitch at every party I go to. Wii Sports is also one of the few games my wife has a real interest in, and she used to fence in high school, so I think she'll really take to the Swordplay. Also, Basketball? Not nearly as lame as it looks. When I tried it, I actually had a lot of fun with it, though only with multiplayer as a high-score challenge kind of thing.

Anyways I got this last night but haven't even put it in the Wii yet. Maybe if I get some time this weekend I'll try it out cause I really wanna do some bull-whippin'.
The games I've played so far feel really good.
The SwordFighting extras really screams out "Someone now go make a StarWars / Samurai Game Stat"
I'm really liking Golf, makes it tempting to pick up Tiger Woods.
And just like in real life, I suck at Frisbee >.>
Nothing in California? Fucking fail.

Maybe they figure we have enough sand and cabana boys without their little dog and pony show.
It is kinda surprising that they're not at the OC Fair though.
The swordfighting is just perfect. After my first two slashes were precisely mirrored I got a grin on my face that did not leave for the next 30 minutes, as I fought my way through the stages, where you beat up lots of miis (with fantastic ragdoll effects) and try to not get hit.
Frisbee dog I only played a little, the controls were tight and worked, but it's very hard (which is realistic, I guess).
Flying the airplane around is very fun and relaxing. Looking around and recognizing some of the areas where I had fought miis with the sword was a lot of fun, and you can collect information points, which is fun. Three 5-minute runs got me 20/80 information points though, so I expect I'll be done with that soon. I can see myself coming back to it though.
Really thinking of picking up a second Motion Plus for that swordfighting now :?
Also, does it feature enhanced versions of the original wii sports bowling/tennis/golf/boxing or is it exclusively new games?
Depends on if you consider a bunch of new sports and Motion Plus implementation a substantial improvment.
The only game I saw that carried over is Bowling, but there might be another one or two.
Golf I believe.

I think it's awesome, it means less swapping discs if that was your favorite before and allows for a slightly new take on what was already great.
And golf is the best thing. Wii Sports Golf was already one of my favorite golf games despite its short length, so glad they expanded it.
I don't know if you could call either an add-on. Wii Play has little to do with Wii Sports besides using Miis, it doesn't have a similar interface or selection at all, no additional challenges menu or anything. It was quite a bit worse than Wii Sports but only $10 if you consider the controller you get with it.
Wii Sports Resort looks better than both combined.
When we bought my Wii, the guy gave us a demo play of Wii Sports (only because we asked - the Wii was all locked up and not playable). I said I wanted to play Golf, and he said 'Golf on Wii Sports sucks, you want to play Tennis and Baseball instead'. If it wasn't $10 cheaper than a standalone Wii with Wii Fit bundled with it, I would have walked away. I tried Golf a week or two after I got it, and it was so fun. Fucking asshole sales guy.
Should I find myself with moneys to spare, I will probably pick up resort. I'd get Wii Play but I don't need a 5th wiimote :P
Wii Sports Resort looks like it recaptures Wii Sports and then some.
Plus there is a bowling mode where you get to bowl 100 pins every frame. Max score of 3000!
Anyway, loving the sword and archery parts of the game. They really show what can be done in the next Zelda game.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
I was just thinking the same thing. except for the ohio part.
Mall of America all weekend... hm... Is there anything worth going there for as apposed to just picking this up at any old store? I mean, is there gonna be free swag or something?
