This game was a special place in my childhood back in 2015, but I think the original is better, even though there's more sports here. I'm gonna rank all the Resort sports one by one. I also have some music from the project so just read and listen. 1st: Bowling Bowling was always my favorite sport as a kid and it was the only sport I ever played. With the new Wii Motion Plus controls, perfect games are able to be made easier. The replays are also weirdly satisfying to watch, too. And you can pick a different colored ball with the D-pad. I usually go with yellow. 2nd: Swordplay Although most people put this sport in the number one spot, I feel like bowling is better, but I just can't deny how addictive and fun this sport is. I think showdown is my favorite one out of them all, since you get to take out hoards of enemy Miis. Then there's duel where you have to knock the other Mii out of the ring. It's actually stressful when you're at the edge, and you see the "Watch Out!" text at the bottom of your screen. My strategy to win is keep your sword blocked at all times, and only attack when the opponent isn't blocking, and thankfully that seems to work most of the time. Then there's speed slice, where you slice all the objects in the right direction before your opponent does. You need quick reaction skills for this, or just pause the game to see the direction, and hit it before it even hits the ground. 3rd: Ping Pong This sport is originally from Wii Play, but the Resort version is better. I find it funny how you can use a slipper instead of a paddle lol. It is the replacement of tennis from the original, and you have more control over the paddle and you can put curve on the ball. I play this sport for hours. 4th: Archery It's satisfying to aim for that bullseye and nailing it, and it feels even better to nail the secret target. Honestly, I don't have much to say about this sport, but just that it's really good. 5th: Basketball Basketball gets really tough with higher difficulty level Miis. That's why I only play against the lower level Miis. But this is a pretty solid sport to the series and it feels satisfying to make a 3-pointer. 6th: Power Cruising This sport does get criticized for it's wacky and out-of-sync controls, but it's still good to me. And I like the sounds that play when you get through the ring. I don't have much to say here either. 7th: Air Sports Air Sports just seems a little boring to me, but it is kinda fun to roam around the island and get i-points for it. But I'm not much of a fan of this sport. 8th: Frisbee Frisbee is also a bit boring, but it feels satisfying to get that perfect score, and it's charming to watch the very energetic fake little dog in frisbee dog. Frisbee golf makes it easier to get hole-in-ones. 9th: Canoeing This is by far the least rated sport in Resort, since all you do is canoe in circles and try to beat your time record. It does have some nice music, but this is a very boring sport. 10th: Wakeboarding The announcer shouting compliments at you never gets old, but then when you get higher points, it's harder to land your wakeboard properly, which is why I don't really like it. 11th: Cycling This would be in 5th if you could do shortcuts like in Mario Kart. 12th: Golf Most people would put this sport way higher, but this version of golf is just terrible. The problem is being able to curve your ball and when I need a straight shot, even a slight curve messes it up. It's nice how when you press B, you can recenter your golf club, but I only get that issue here, as I never have that in the original. The swing mechanics feel too junky for me, which is why I'd rather play the original. Also I'm not a fan of golf... And that's all guys! Please don't criticize me for my opinions.
A youtuber named Nintendo Hero inspired me to make this rating, so BIG shout out to him.
