Yes, that’s Mom Brain slinking down into the ‘tuffet’ to play Little King’s Story. I think she played for about 4 hours straight! She’s watching me type this right now, and I know she’s feeling the call of her kingdom!

A portion of a Vooks review…
Wii Sports Resort is like a bag of mixed lollies. It’s filled with delicious treats, but at the same time, there’s a couple of things in there you’ll try once and decide you don’t like. While casual friendly on the surface, beneath that sugar coated exterior is a game worthy of playing by anyone and everyone. If the other Wii MotionPlus games didn’t sell you on the idea then this will. A worthy follow up to Wii Sports, and works as advertised.
