YMMV / Wii Sports Resort

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The music that plays when you first boot up the game, backed by a full orchestra.
  • Breather Level: Island Flyover. There's less adrenaline pumping in, and you get to explore the island, which is pretty cool.
  • Cheese Strategy: In Swordplay Showdown, it's possible to hit the "bosses" 3 times quickly, taking them out before they can lay a finger on you.
  • Even Better Sequel: Wii Sports was generally well-received. This game took some of the better sports, then added several good ones to fill up the remaining spots left, and made good use of the new hardware.
  • Event-Obscuring Camera: The camera from the Waterskiing/waterboarding game often goes slower than the player character, which results in being often unable to get back in balance and, thus, gain no points. It becomes unnerving on Medium or Hard difficulty levels, where obstacles are added to the course and it's sometimes impossible to see them because of the camera. Yet it's on the SEA.
  • Older Than They Think: People who haven't played Wii Fit may think that Wuhu Island originated from this game.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: The Cycling theme bears a strong resemblance to "Meno Male Che Silvio C'è" a famous Italian political song, composed for the election campaign of Silvio Berlusconi as prime minister of Italy.
  • That One Achievement: Several of the stamps qualify:
    • Beating Lucía, the Champion of Table Tennis, for reasons explained under That One Boss.
    • Any achievement that require you to obtain a perfect score (such as Bowling, Archery and Frisbee Dog). 100-Pin Bowling is even crueler because of the insane precision needed to get one strike.
    • Scoring 200 points on Skydiving, which essentially requires precise movement and knowing the controls inside-out.
    • Finishing 18 under par on Golf, the equivalent of a birdie on every hole of an 18 hole course
    • Hunting for the secret targets in Archery; some of which are difficult to find without a walkthrough, and all of which are still tricky to hit even with a walkthrough!
    • Completing 10 levels of Swordplay Showdown without being hit is also a really tricky one, as the enemies you face get harder.
  • That One Boss: Lucía, the Champion of Table Tennis, is infuriatingly skilled at returning balls. She's the only person you face that can shuffle quickly to cover distance (meaning wide open spaces to score a point is not as viable a tactic) something you yourself cannot do!. She can send the ball back either for you to miss, or for you to hit out accidentally, and it's all too easy to lose without scoring a single point. The only real chance you have is to aim for oblique angles, which are tricky to pull off.
