Third fastest-selling Wii title in Japan
According to Famitsu via the FT), Sports Resort racked up sales of 353,827 in the first four days of it going on sale in Japan. It could be time for mums and dads to dust off that Wii by the sounds of it.

So we only count bundles when we see fit then? No surprise this was going to fly off the shelves. With the MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort bundle Nintendo was always onto a winner.

i have the japanese version. Its worth it for the sword fighting alone. Especially the game in which you race across the island beating the crap out of wave after wave of miis.

Archery is kind of novel but really fun. how you have to aim by moving the wiimote up and down and pull back and fire with the nunchuck.

The table tennis is spot on as well. its strangely addictive and really accurate.

The bowling seems easier though.

I have a feeling the sword fighting and archery are tech demos for what to expect in the next zelda.

Needless to say its awesome.
