The title, designed to showcase the MotionPlus peripheral, was praised by professionals of kendo, golf, basketball and other sports represented in the game.
"I expected precision from the Wii MotionPlus, but I didn't expect this! Every rotation through the body and the way I held the Wii controller was reflected in Wii Sports Resort," said professional golfer Melissa Reid.
"The option of three, nine or 18 holes was great as it meant I could do a quick-fire round or take my time - the graphics are really impressive too. Believe me - it wasn't easy hitting birdie and I certainly spent my fair share of time in the rough!"
Kendo champion Wesley Haeke added: "When I played swordplay in Wii Sports Resort, I was surprised how realistic the Wii MotionPlus sensor made the game.
"I had to hold the controller exactly as I would a shinai to get the precision I wanted, as well as holding stances such as jodan no kamae exactly as I would in a tournament to beat my opponent."
The game was also endorsed by table tennis professional Darius Knight, basketball's Danilo Gallinari and archery champion Gema Buitron.
Wii Sports Resort is released in July.
