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."
