Wii Remote Plus Compatibility with Wii Sports Resort: Yes—Fully Compatible & Recommended

Yes, the Wii Remote Plus is fully compatible with Wii Sports Resort—in fact, it's the recommended controller.

Why It Works

• Wii Sports Resort requires Wii MotionPlus for all 12 sports.
• The Wii Remote Plus (model RVL-036) has MotionPlus built-in.
• No separate MotionPlus dongle (the white jacket) is needed.

Alternative

You can also use an original Wii Remote with a clip-on MotionPlus accessory (model RVL-004), but the Wii Remote Plus is more convenient, lighter, and less prone to disconnection.

Note: The Wii Remote Plus is also required for later games like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Wii Play: Motion, and Red Steel 2.
