Well, you will likely be disappointed again if you get Wii Sports Resort without knowing that you need a 'Motion Plus' accessory and Wii remote for each player. There is a bundle that comes with 2 Motion Plus accessories so I suggest picking that up. That said, my wife and I absolutely love this game - especially Archery, Basketball and Table. The Wii controller uses motion-sensing technology which encourages you to get up and move with the characters on screen. There are also exclusive games available for the system where you can play sports, dance, stretch, and test your fitness levels. Enhance the motion-sensing ability of the Wii remote control with the Nintendo Wii Motion Plus, Wii. As one of the most efficient Wii remote accessories, the Motion Plus senses even the slightest movement or twist of the wrist to give the user an exciting gaming experience.

March 12, 2020:
Despite being more than a decade old, the original Wii console is far from irrelevant. Not only do many people continue to use the unit they bought during its initial run, but there are also those who find that a used Wii offers an extremely affordable way to own a console with 21st century quality and a vast game catalog. As long as people continue to use their Wii or the newer Wii U and Wii Mini consoles, remotes will stay in demand, and there's several options available for casual gamers and die-hard Nintendo fans alike.
The clearest divide amongst the selections on our list is between OEM remotes made by Nintendo and third-party options. The difference in quality and price is significant, but both still have their place for different types of gamers. Those who use their Wii on a daily basis, and don't mind spending more money on their gaming accessories, will want to look at the Nintendo Wii Remote Plus or the Nintendo Wii Remote Controller. The former is the highest quality option available, and although the latter is a much older design, it still carries a sturdiness and reliability that isn't quite matched by clones produced by other manufacturers.

Wii Motion Plus Games
Casual users who would rather spend less will be more interested in the Yudeg Remote Controller and PDP Rock Candy Gesture Controller, or the Cooleedtek Remote Game Control and Techken Wii Remote if they play a significant amount of games that are MotionPlus compatible. All of these remotes are decent options for those who only use their Wii occasionally, or just want extra remotes for when friends come over, but their considerably lower price unsurprisingly leads to a noticeable dip in quality compared to OEM models. A refurbished Nintendo Wii Remote Controller is actually quite similar in price to some of these units, but their comparative value is maintained when the inclusion of accessories such as a silicone grip, safety strap, or Nunchuck controller is taken into account.
