Here are the best bits

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sports Resort:

2) Does the Wii MotionPlus react to every move as promised?
Yes. All the movements are captured extremely accurately with Wii MotionPlus. Depending on the event, some motions are "locked" and MotionPlus will only work on a couple of axes. In Golf, for example, you can't just wildly swing the club wherever you want, it's locked in a straight vertical arc. Within that vertical arc though, your swing is perfectly accurate.

10) I know it's probably down to personal taste, but which Wii Sports Resort sport do you think is the most enjoyable?
Personally my favourite was Showdown, under the Swordplay category. It's similar to the one-on-one duel except your character walks through various levels set on the island and encounters large groups of enemies (around seven or eight at a time). You then face them one by one but they're trying to block with their sword. You have to see an opening and swipe to beat them. It's great. I was also pleasantly surprised by Canoeing.

13) Is Wii MotionPlus 100% accurate or did you find any little problems?
It's 100% accurate. After long periods it may go slightly out of sync and lose track of where you're positioned but the game constantly reminds you that you can press Down on the D-Pad any time to re-sync it quickly if you notice the controls getting erratic. In the four hours I spent playing it, it maybe got a bit weird twice in total, and a single button press fixed it right away.

24) One of my favourite sports is table tennis: how realistic is it with MotionPlus? Is it just as fast as real table tennis is?
It's slightly slower to allow for people to react better to it, but it works surprisingly well. You can put spin on your shots and choose whether to just dink it over the net or blast it over. I think this'll be the Resort equivalent of Wii Sports Tennis.

NSMB Wii

3) Is NSMB Wii, in your opinion, better than the DS version?
It's far too early to say based on only ten levels, but if the quality continues throughout the game than I'd say so, without a doubt.

Cool With a large focus on multiplayer, do you think this game offers a fun and challenging experience for single player?
Yes. As well as playing in multiplayer, I played through all ten levels on my own and it was just as enjoyable as the DS version was the first time around.

12) How are the graphics in NSMB WII?
It looks great. Although it seems like a port of the DS version, in reality all the character, enemy and power-up models have been greatly improved and the animations are great. Koopa Troopas have a proper swagger, Dry Bones walks with his arms out like a zombie and Mario has a great little skidding animation when you try to change direction on the snow level.

17) Would you say NSMB Wii will be worth buying as a single player experience alone considering it was made more for multiplayer?
Yes. From what I've played I'm getting it on day one for the single-player alone.

19) Is it harder to progress through the game in multi-player than in single player?
It depends on who you're playing with! If you're working as a team then it can be easier, but if you're playing with friends who feel like stabbing you in the back then obviously it gets harder. When I played it there was a tricky jumping section at one point, which the person I was playing with couldn't get past. So I picked him up (hold 1 and shake the Remote) and did the jumps while carrying him so he could get across. But then I turned round and threw him back off the edge. :-)
LOL

 Yes, someone finally confirms and plays the single player mode in NSMB Wii!
