Learn how to set up the Wii MotionPlus, navigate the Wii Sports Resort menus, and understand initial game settings. Part 2 of the guide covers system updates, calibration, and Mii integration.
The Wii MotionPlus attachment is required for every player and is included with the game. Additional MotionPlus attachments are sold separately. The attachment replaces the remote's jacket and integrates a new, slightly stretchier one. Installation involves sliding the Wii Remote into the MotionPlus, threading the wrist strap, and securing it to the remote's base. Replacing batteries requires removing the attachment.
A video tutorial on installation and removal is shown on the game's first startup. The MotionPlus can remain attached for other games and allows for Nunchuk and other attachments to be plugged into its base. It adds minimal weight to the remote.
Initial Setup and Menus:
- System Update: After inserting the disc, a system update may be required, taking approximately 90 seconds.
- Wii MotionPlus Video: A mandatory 3-minute video about the Wii MotionPlus will play.
- Save File Creation: Create a save file for Wii Sports Resort, which uses 4 blocks of memory.
- MotionPlus Calibration: Calibrate the MotionPlus by placing the remote face down on a flat surface or holding it still for about 4 seconds. This is required each time a remote is turned on with the game.
- Mii Introduction: A Mii will parachute from a plane. Press 'A' to watch the jump. You can control the Mii in freefall for about 30 seconds before parachutes open and the title screen appears.
Title Screen and Game Listing:
At the title screen, press 'A' and 'B' together to access the game listing menu. Point at an option and press 'A' to select, or 'B' to go back. The game listing menu includes a 'Settings' option.
Settings Menu Options:
- Change Player List: Remove Mii's from your player list (up to 100 sets can be stored).
- Import from Mii Contest Channel: Add Mii's from worldwide users as background players or teammates.
- Sensor Bar Assist: This option's function is unclear, but it is recommended to leave it on. It may affect MotionPlus sensitivity if turned off.
