Great pack if you want to get more fun out of Wii Sports Resort, the archery is especially more fun with a bow.This pack makes playing just more fun, simply having something there instead of just air feels so much more natural, the sword is also good for playing Skyward Sword.

使えないのが、フリスビーとチャンバラ。+後付けタイプ用で、両方を一体化して固定するケースが付いている。マリンバイクは、ハンドルでコントローラーが安定することで、マリンバイクの動きも安定する。カヌーは、パドルを持った感じが出ていい感じ。ウェィクボードは、柔らかい硬質スポンジのケースなので、コントローラーの両端を上から指で押さえてないと、コントローラーがはずれてくる。私は、少しでも楽しく身体を動かせるようにこれを使っている。楽しく身体を動かすことで、身体と記憶の絆が育つ。楽しい人間関係は、その人との絆を太く成長させる。他人との絆の中心は、相手の顔で、顔を中心にその人の記憶は結び付いている。これに対して、自分の記憶の絆は、自分の顔ではない。なぜならふだん自分で自分を見ることはないからだ。その代わり、人間は直立活動するために、常に腹筋と背筋を安定して働かせており、そこに一定の身体感覚を持っている。この身体感覚に自分の記憶は結びつきを形成している。しかし人間関係と同じように、楽しければ絆は太く強く成長し、不愉快であればその絆は弱くなっていく。人間関係は相手への依存性を生じるが、身体との絆は、自立性を育てる。

First, let me say that you don't really need this attachment set to play the games on the Wii BUT their use will enhance the fun and add some realism to playing the games. All the pieces are made from light weight blown plastic which helps minimize problems if you make contact with something. However, the plastic is sturdy and helps balance the particular tool you are using.No instructions were included in my package. That's unfortunate because I think many of the one-star reviews were based on the fact that people didn't know what they were doing. That being said, instructions really aren't necessary for those with a modicum of common sense and logic.I had no problem fitting my Wii remote with motion-plus built-in into the various pieces with the skin on and still have the A&B buttons accessible. There is an adapter for remotes without the skin. The only way I can see that this could be a problem is to put the remote in backwards so that the A button is not visible. The B button may be covered in games where it is not needed.Some of the pieces are multi-functional. For example, the frisbee can used as a frisbee or as a steering wheel for racing games. The ping pong paddle can be used as a tennis raquet as well as for ping pong and it works really well for both.Considering the very low price for this set, it's an outstanding value and well worth the investment. I'm truly glad I bought it and would do it again.

This set works really well with the Wii controllers and we have never had any problems with it (and its had a LOT of use!) Brings games like archery and frisbee to life. Definitely worth buying.

There's something about these add-ons that make the Wii Resort games more "realistic" and fun. I think your brain is able to correlate what you're doing much better while actually holding the object on the screen rather than relying on you to imagine that you are. In any case, it adds a lot to the gameplay and watching other players while they do the activities. This is a nice, well made set that isn't too flimsy but looks quite durable for active players. We did find the elastic band on the bow did twack your hand when you use it so be aware of that. Some of the pieces do require some assembly, but it's not rocket science. This item shipped fast, and it was reasonably priced making it highly recommended.

Das Produkt ist billig gemacht, dünnes Plastik, teilweise Styropor. Es wirkt als würde alles nach ein paar Mal Wiimote wechseln auseinanderfallen.Es behindert oft die Steuerung. Teilweise wird die Wii Fernbedienung gar nicht erkannt oder nur verzögert, ist somit ziemlich unbrauchbar und senkt den Spielspaß enorm.Völlig überflüssig, das "Schwert", macht nur die Wiimote schwerer. Den Bogen kann man gar nicht weit genug spannen um auf ferne Ziele zu schießen, was soll das? Ich will mir das Spiel doch nicht erschweren oder gar unmöglich machen. Hat das denn keiner getestet?Vorsicht mit dem Jet-Ski Lenker, die starre Drehung der Handgelenke könnte üble Folgen haben! Zu erkennen, dass das nicht gesund sein kann, dafür muss man kein Experte sein! Finger weg und besonders Kindern nicht geben, die im Spiel nicht merken, wenn es zu viel wird.Habe mich sehr darüber geärgert. Man sah auch, dass die Verpackung schon vorher von beiden Seiten geöffnet, und wahrscheinlich schon (mehrmals?) zurückgeschickt worden war, habe mich meinen Vorgängern angeschlossen und es auch umgehend zurückgeschickt.

I bought 4 of these accessory kits to go with my new Wii that I got my kids for Christmas, since I figured that 4 of us might be playing at once. That was unnecessary--two sets would have sufficed, as most Sports Resort games are one or two player. That said, these items make playing some of the sports seem more real. I haven't had any of the items break like other reviewers have complained of. You just have to be a little gentle when screwing pieces together--and make sure they 'click' together so they don't fly apart in use. It is a pain that you have to take the remote out of the accessory at the end of each game (for some of the games) so that you can select the next game or calibrate your controller. Just takes a few seconds though.

Wii sports Resort on its own is extremely fun, but with these 8 accessories, the game play became even more fun and using them added a whole new level to the game than with just the remotes themselves.Sword: This is made of a soft clear plastic which can bend slightly and is a little less than 14 inches long. A hit to the head or body does not hurt but stings for a little. The sword is light enough that it does not cause you to tire very quickly but adds enough weight to counterbalance the added motion plus on the Wii remote. The sword does block sensor on the remote slightly so when trying to point to the bottom or the top of the screen the little hand can disappear, but with a little work, you can work around that. I give this a 9 out of 10 because I would have preferred the sword to be made out of something softer than plastic, like the Nerf accessories are.Golf Club: Made of a harder white plastic that is unbendable and is a little less than 10 inches at its tallest point, this is a good accessory. It also adds enough weight to counterbalance the added motion plus. This accessory does not block the sensor on the remote. However, it should be foam like the Nerf accessories to make it less painful when you hit your legs, or your mother's. 9.5 out of 10 because it is plastic.Bow: This comes in two pieces made in hard white plastic. The first piece, the bow, is a little over 14 inches, and has a rubber stretchy string attached to it. Holding the bow out with you arm completely stretched, the string will stretch to about an arm length. If you accidentally release the string, it stings a bit, but it does not hurt a lot. The bow is perfectly balanced so the stop does not feel lighter than the bottom. The second is a case for the nunchuk that has a little hook on it to attach to the string. It does not stay attached to the string and it takes practice to keep it attached to the string. The sensor is not blocked. The one thing I am waiting to see is that if over time the rubber string will break, but it has yet to. 10 out of 10.Rowboat Paddle: This is made of hard white plastic that has no bend in it and it is about 15 inches long. This one is a little more top heavy, but it works great. This one does not block the sensor at all. 9 out of 10 for being top heavy and being plastic instead of foam.Wakeboard: Made out of a hard but flexible white foam--which it what the sword should be made out of--it is a simple accessory. It is hard to get the Wii remote into the cut out--which cannot fit with the jacket--but once it is in it is solid. Despite the fact that there is no cut out for the sensor, the remote works just fine inside of it. You can hit play or point to the screen just fine. 9 out of 10 before being hard to put the remote in.Ping-Pong Paddle: A light weight hard white plastic with red and black foam on either side of the paddle, this is a good accessory. It does not block the sensor at all. It is also balanced. 9.5 out of 10 since it should be foam instead of plastic.Frisbee: Made out of a hard blue and white foam, it is slightly heavy. The remote without jacket is hard to get into the cutout. Fitting your hand through the hole is awkward but putting your hand outside makes it hard to reach the buttons--if you make it automatic that makes it so you don't need to push the buttons to throw, but it takes the fun out of it. Plus the hole makes it a little unbalanced. 8 out of 10 because I still have not found out how to use it without it being awkward.Jet Ski Handlebars: This is made of hard white plastic that comes in three pieces, the main part and the two remote holders (the Wii remote holder connects to the sword, golf club...). The two remotes can turn 360 degrees and they can be pulled in depending on how far apart you want them. This does cause small problems when you are turning because the remotes move closer together when you don't want them to. It is also lightly unbalanced in that the Wii remote side is heavier than the nunchuk side. However, it does make it easier to play the game because the remotes are fixed together in a way that makes it easier to control the turns than without it. 9 out of 10 because while it does make it easier to play the game, it is unbalanced.Wii Remote Tray: This pack comes with a Wii remote tray that can be used in place of the jacket for everything but the Frisbee and the wakeboard accessories. The remote does fit snuggly into it, but the tray does not fit snuggly into the attachments. When using each of the accessories, I found that just a little too much pressure can cause it to come loose very quickly. It is better to use the jacket and ignore the remote tray because the jacket does fit perfectly into the accessories. Though the jacket can come loose over time, but not to the extent of the tray. 0 out of 10, completely useless.Wii Base: This is what the Wii remote goes into which attaches to the sword, the golf club, the rowboat paddle, the ping-pong paddle, and the jet ski handlebars. However, it is not just a matter of inserting this into one of the accessories. You have to twist it until the little locking mechanism pushes into place. Otherwise the accessory will fly off and hit the TV. I think this makes it a little more secure than the other accessories I have because it cannot just come apart. 10 out of 10.Overall: These accessories enhance the gaming experience. Despite the awkwardness of the Frisbee and the uselessness of the Wii remote tray, this sports pack is a great buy and is worth the price to buy for one more of these sets because it offers more accessories for more of the events.

I purchased 2 sets of the Sports Pack. The components are made from light weight plastic. It is great quality for the amount that you pay. Some people have made negative comments about the quality of the plastic. But what do you expect when you pay around 26 bucks for 8 pieces. I think all the components add more precision when playing the games. My favorite attachment is to race the sea-doos, you can even twist your wrist for boost. My second favorite piece is for table tennis. The only piece that doesn't make any sense is for the frisbee; you have to take everything off the remote to place it into the frisbee. I would definitely recommend buying the pieces if you own Resort Sports. This is the best set that I have found for quality and ease of use for the game. I have done tons of research and looked at numerous accessory packs and this is my favorite. The only caveat I can have is how they are going to work with the new Wii Remote Plus, which incorporates Wii Motion Plus into the remote.
