In the latest episode of "Iwata Asks," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata headed down the ivory staircase of the Kyoto office to visit with his lowly serfs in the Wii Sports Resort development team. He sat in a throne opposite team members Zenichi Yamashita, Takayuki Shumamura, Takuhiro Dohta, and Kenta Sato to learn about the development of the upcoming game, set for release in North America on July 26th.
Kenta Sato moved from being the programmer of Wii Sports tennis to the table tennis and swordplay programmer in Wii Sports Resort. Takuhiro Dohta worked on the disasterous Wii Sports boxing, and used this Iwata Asks to justify his game, as it came together "in an incredibly short space of time," according to Iwata. Takayuki Shumamura went from Vision Trainer on the DS to Wii Sports Resort, and Zenichi Yamashita, programmer of baseball and boxing of Wii Sports, moved to Check Mii Out Channel and then Wii Sports Resort.
While most on the team shared the same experiences with the limitations of the Wii Remote and had the same opinions, Sato explained how limiting the Wii Remote accelerometer could be in his experiments, and wished the controller could detect better movement. His excitement returned when he heard about the Wii Motion Plus. "All those things we hadn't been able to do up to now would become possible."
Dohta noted that the motion twisting of the Wii Remote had an inherent lag due to gravity prediction, but the Wii Motion Plus eliminated this problem. In one technical demonstration, the developers could manipulate a doll by twisting and turning the Wii Remote and Motion Plus peripherals. They all exclaimed "Sundome!" which means that they could stop the doll at the exact, precise moment they wanted to.
The idea of a Wii Sports sequel came about well before the creation of Wii Motion Plus, but was put on hold when the developers couldn't come up with clever new ways to enjoy sports. The idea was revived when the Wii Motion Plus was introduced.
Miyamoto stepped in to introduce what he had in mind as "The Island Concept." Here, he wanted to produce a place that had a personality like Mario or Donkey Kong, and could take on a life of its own, potentially licensing it out as a franchise. The idea started in Wii Fit but it has been expanded in Wii Sports Resort as Wuhu Island. Miyamoto hopes to continue with concepts starring this island in games such as adventure titles, role-playing games, and city building simulations.
When Wii Motion Plus made its debut at E3 2008, the team made ready Frisbee Dog, Sword Play, and Power Cruising. The team had a fourth game in mind to demonstrate Wii Motion Plus: Archery. The team had produced a test version by then but wasn't convinced that Wii Motion Plus had the ability to read small, slow, and subtle movements that's necessary in that sport. Obviously, that changed throughout development, and Wii Sports Resort features a very accurate rendition of archery.
The development team fought with an inherent problem of the Wii Motion Plus's gyroscope technology: temperature drift. As players move the Wii Remote, it would gradually get out of sync due to subtle changes in temperature and humidity. It was an issue so strong that the team was worried that it couldn't make Wii Sports Resort. It got to the point where the designers conceived of a sword fighting game where you only swung the sword once to prevent drift. Drift was a problem in Wario Ware Twisted on the GBA as well, but the designers got around it by keeping games at five seconds, and recalibrating at the start of the next game. Eventually the problem was resolved with a technique that Miyamoto's holding close to his chest. But it's a technique that actually calibrates the sensor as it's being moved – the more it's waved, the more accurate it gets.
The choice to call the game Wii Sports Resort came about when the idea of "Wii Sports 2" was being thrown around. The original title was to be "Wii Sports 2 – Resort," but those gamebangers at Nintendo of America helped streamline the name by insisting the "2" be dropped.
Table Tennis was brought in as a "resort" title instead of regular tennis for two-fold: the team wanted to keep repeat sports appearances to a minimum, and the Wii Motion Plus seemed tailored for the more subtle, rapid fire gameplay of ping pong. Airplane Flyover evolved from using an analog stick to using the Wii Remote exclusively because it felt more intuitive to the player.
Bowling and Golf have been reintroduced in Wii Sports Resort, with improvements. The team wanted to improve the control and experiences in both games: adding a 100-pin challenge and tweaking the throwing in Bowling, and improving the swing and adding 18 holes to golf. The team managed to get more holes into the final product while the hardware team continued final work on the Wii Motion Plus devices, giving the Wii Sports Resort team the extra time it needed.

Shootanto is one of those wacky WiiWare titles I didn’t expect to see in North America. In the game you start out as a stone throwing monkey fighting dinosaurs and eventually evolve into a medieval archer battling lizardmen.
Grand Prix, the company behind Victorious Boxers Revolution, released Shootanto on WiiWare last year. I played it and it’s not that good. While the B-movie setting was good for a few laughs, you can dodge roll through anything which breaks the game.
Shootanto came out late last year in Japan and appears that Hudson plans to release it domestically under the name Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem. Officially, the game is unannounced, but Hudson filed a trademark and localized the name.
If Hudson publishes Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem it will be their first licensed WiiWare game. Perhaps, Shootanto will also be Hudson’s first step into the WiiWare localization business. As of now they don’t have much competition and there are a handful of decent Japanese games that lack an international publisher.

Sands of Destruction will be a mixed media project here too. Sega signed a licensing deal which gives Funimation the rights to distribute, broadcast, and merchandise the first thirteen episodes of the anime series in North America.
Production I.G., the studio behind Ghost in the Shell and the animated shorts for Infinite Space, created the series which aired in Japan last summer. The anime will get a domestic release in spring 2010.
Before that Sands of Destruction will debut on the Nintendo DS. Sega plans to release the game here in January 2010.

The controversial "Demo Play" feature devised by Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo won't just be limited to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and other console-based adventures. A blurb in Japan's Nikkei newspaper notes that the feature, which allows players to skip difficult areas and watch them played automatically, will also be used in portable games in the future. Nikkei referred to it as a "skip functionality" or "skip feature."
Nikkei notes that this feature is designed for "high-speed action games," so presumably you won't be able to let Dr. Kawashima step in and count the number of people who just ran out of the house (we hate that one), nor will you be able to make the Pokémon start choosing themselves mid-battle.

Nintendo's star thinker Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that the island in Wii Sports Resort is a character, and we will see it time and time again across games spanning many different genres.
"I had been thinking about the Island Concept in one form or another for more than 10 years," reveals Miyamoto during an Iwata Asks interview on Wii.com.
"One part of Nintendo's business has been creating a whole host of characters which we have then licensed out. But I've always thought, seeing as we are a games company, that in addition to characters resembling people, why couldn't we also turn the actual stages of games into characters?" he recalls. "And also licensing it out as a franchise."
Miyamoto says Nintendo has discussed the idea for a "long time", and that the Wii Fit locale of Wuhu Island concept is "more or less the same".
"We really polished up the island, turned it into a resort and actually made the location into a kind of character. This will then lead to a range of island series," explains Miyamoto. "You could have adventure games, role-playing games, city-building simulation games... It will be fun to see all the ideas that we can come up with, won't it?
"We thought it would be a fun idea to have a location that everyone knows and then have all sorts of stuff going on there," he adds. "It would mean that players would already know the town like the back of their hands by the time they came to buy the next adventure game."
Wii Sports Resort launches here on 24th July and showcases the new Wii MotionPlus accessory.
We'll deliver our full analysis soon. Until then, head over to our recent hands-on impressions to see how Wii Sports Resort is shaping up.

If that doesn't satisfy your passion for popping, there are a total of 270 extra stages waiting for you in the two add-on-content packs, available for purchase on the Wii Shop Channel.

Race through three racing cups across 10 courses set in five mythic landscapes. Use awesome fantasy weaponry to defeat your opponents: tridents, fireballs, Zeus's lightning rods and more.

Description: Art Style: BASE 10 is a game of numbers. Your goal is simple: create combinations equaling 10 by sliding numbers around the playing field.

Choose from one of three modes: eliminate a set amount of numbers as quickly as possible in ZEROSUM MODE; get rid of prearranged groups of numbers in as few moves as possible in PUZZLE MODE; or continue removing numbers until your game is over in INFINITE MODE. In addition, you can challenge an opponent to a two-player wireless battle in VS MODE and see whose number-crunching skills reign supreme. If you think you're a master with numbers, the straightforward yet challenging world of Art Style: BASE 10 gives you the opportunity to prove it in a unique way.

Description: Art Style: BASE 10 is a game of numbers. Your goal is simple: create combinations equaling 10 by sliding numbers around the playing field.

Choose from one of three modes: eliminate a set amount of numbers as quickly as possible in ZEROSUM MODE; get rid of prearranged groups of numbers in as few moves as possible in PUZZLE MODE; or continue removing numbers until your game is over in INFINITE MODE. In addition, you can challenge an opponent to a two-player wireless battle in VS MODE and see whose number-crunching skills reign supreme. If you think you're a master with numbers, the straightforward yet challenging world of Art Style: BASE 10 gives you the opportunity to prove it in a unique way.
