Nintendo:
WHAT: Not everyone can take a vacation this year, but Los Angeles-area residents will be whisked away on a virtual island vacation as Nintendo`s interactive Wii Sports Resort™ Mobile Tour makes stops at the Third Street Promenade, Fiesta Hermosa and the Los Angeles County Fair. On select dates, visitors are invited to enjoy hands-on demonstrations of Wii Sports Resort, which takes place on a simulated island resort oasis.
With 12 resort-themed activities, including wakeboarding, Frisbee®, golf, archery and Swordplay, Wii Sports Resort provides users with a "staycation" that lasts months and months. Just as the unique motion controls of the original Wii Sports™ fueled a home entertainment phenomenon, Wii Sports Resort gives players an even more immersive experience, using Nintendo`s new Wii MotionPlus™ control enhancements to achieve new levels of precision and fun. The game is available now and is a must-have for anyone
who owns a Wii.
