Wii Sports Resort Games That Didn't Make It

In the two months since the release of Wii Sports Resort, the MotionPlus game has sold over three million copies worldwide. Clearly, Nintendo's in-house developers knew what they were doing.

But the Wii Sports Resort formula went through several changes. There were a few games that didn't make the cut, said producer Katsuya Eguchi in an email interview.

"We considered fishing and a water slide activity before deciding on the final twelve events," Eguchi said. "As for more unconventional concepts, we created a pretty fun prototype of kendama, a traditional Japanese toy, that just didn't fit the game's theme."
