I can't believe you guys didn't mention this, but when you 100% island flyover you actually get your own private island that hosts your own little house with a flag displaying your Mii. It's these little touches of character and detail that keep this absolute masterpiece as one of my all time favorite games to this day.

[@katherines.511]

this is both exciting and upsetting news because as a kid I played island flyover so much that I think I’m like five landmarks away from being 100% but I CAN’T FIND THE LAST FIVE EVEN AS AN ADULT

[@ninabogs]

i have so many memories of pumping the wii remote as fast as i can to boost over to the golf island to give myself the most time to explore it

[@Blazik3n99]

There was a 3DS game, Pilotwings Resort, which was basically a fleshed-out full game version of the island flyover. I don't think it quite matched the magic of the original but it was still fun

[@christianames2161]

It isn't exactly the same but in wii fit plus you can unlock free cycling with no time limit. You can't get to wedge island but you get phenomenal ground-level views of the island with a lot of paths to explore.

God this game was so good. Island flyover was just so relaxing, the game let you advance at your own pace and really celebrated your personal achievement. You always felt like you were getting better at whatever game you played and made sure to make you feel accomplished, no matter how little or big of a personal achievement you made

[@eglol]

This game is truly incredible. I remember flying around so much. This game is truly incredible. And nostalgic... The only thing ever missing from the game was bring able to walk around on the island, but at least we do have flying. I did find a game with lots of worlds and minigames and it does have open worlds, it's also a great game kind of like Sports Resort (not better than Sports Resort, but probably near equal) it's called Go Vacation and I think it's either from the Wii or Wii U but it's available on switch, too. Wii Sports Resort... So legendary. Playing it without dusting off the old Wii that somehow still works would be the best. The nostalgia. Flying in the airplane. Hours and hours and hours and hours, it never gets old.

For a time I really I liked doing jet ski free roam because I found out you could find whales around in random areas. Often times u could see them breaching out of the water or a tail flip and I was determined to do my darnedest to get as close to one as possible when it did. Maybe the coolest part was the fact that the whale would still be there once you reached the spot you saw it, a massive figure swimming just under the surface of the water and your jet ski, always left little me in awe. It was such a neat detail.

[@ernie39]

my favorite thing to do on wii sports resort (as in i loved it more than any of the Actual games/sports) was actually the _practice_ for canoeing. there was a mother duck in the lake with a herd of ducklings and if you find her, all the babies swim away to different spots. you have to paddle around the lake and get all the lil duckies' attention so they follow you, and you bring them back to their mama 🥹 it was so fun i would just do that for like an hour at a time by myself (✨️only child things✨️) 😭

[@sharonmartin6039]

i had the exact same experience as a kid! i was so bad at canoeing but i spent a long time trying to find the duckies 😌

Dang I liked the part where the dog caught the frisbee and then he did a little flip. I thought it was just going to be boring like real life dog frisbee shows, but this, this was a master piece. This simple but effective communication tool brings out the depth of a childhood game. The frisbee and dog can be metaphors for a lot of things in life. Plus I liked the part where he does a flip after he catches it.

[@mythicalpotatoes8832]

Fun fact: the frisbee dog in Wii Sports Resort frisbee does a little flip when it catches the frisbee!! 10000/10 game would die for frisbee dog.

[@dragonmage372]

While this is a nice comment, I'm afraid you left out an important facet. See, I played Wii sports resort as a kid, and I've only ever done this two or three times, but when you make it so that the dog catches the frisbee in the purple zone (which is a bit difficult considering the purple zone is in the very center of the three zones and is significantly smaller than the others), it will proceed to do a simple trick to show it's excitement. Namely, it will do a flip. TLDR The dog flips

[@sleepylilguy]

so true :3 :3 :3

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

What's really fun about it was... and you might not have noticed this detail, it's really detailed... the dog, it does a flip. And that's good, because, normal dogs, they don't do flips. But Frisbee Dog does. It's cool that the game devs thought of something like that.

[@JC21]

Wii Sports Resort seriously deserved more love. Island Flyover and Swordfighting were definitely the game's highlights. Speaking of destinations like 11:08, there's also a cave where if you go into it at night, you can hear an eerie version of the main theme, and it's one of my favourite spots in Island Flyover.

[@rowanketcheson]

Wii sports resort was my entire life for 3 years, I'm so glad to see it given the love it deserves. the music and graphics are so nostalgic, I think of it so fondly

[@Bluebatstar]

Wii Sports Resort holds such a special place in my heart. I've been playing it mostly my whole life and I still love it to this day, it's the best in the Wii Sports series by far in my opinion. Wuhu Island is the best part in my opinion. I've never felt a feeling of home and joy with any other video game location and seeing it return in other games is always so special, even if it's been a while since that happened. Island Flyover really is the thing that _made_ Wuhu Island.

[@yoursjuli]

have you ever played pilotwings resort for the 3ds!!!! i've had it since its release and it's a whole game that's _just_ the plane stuff and it's still wuhu island. my motor skills aren't great so it was much easier for me to play on a DS than with a wiimote and imo it has all the charm of its predecessor, with the bonus of being on a Portable console (and in 3D when that novelty was fresh, as finnicky as it was back then). highly recommend if you've never played it.

Man, island flyover is unmatched. Trying to get as many i points as you could in one go was so fun, so many of them were so well hidden. I remember the whale watchers one being a favorite, plus the two in the volcano. All the unlockables added so much, especially the two seater plane, which would randomly pick a mii to put in the back seat. You could make mii’s of your pets through wii fit and so sometimes my dog was in the back seat, other times it was my grandma, or my neighbor, or a freak of nature pig person I made. Also, the only place I remember that you couldn’t go on your plane was through the waterfall behind the castle, but other than that, anywhere you could find you could fly your plane, through street tunnels and really narrow caves under the island and all around inside and out the volcano. It was almost completely limitless. And I haven’t even mentioned the MUSIC! Top tier game, especially as a young kid. Now I need to go find my wii.

I do like how they made a return to Wuhu island for Wii Fit, with events set there and you could even use your pet in games. Wuhu also appears in some mario kart tracks, event maps and probably in a few more games.

Not only was it fun to explore the map and learn about the island, I also loved randomly cutting the engine and either pretending I was gonna crash or actually crashing 😭

That's too damn relatable. Even more so if you flew straight up to the point where it eventually cut your engine off and you dive bombed straight down into the island

[@SwooshBear123]

This video made me oddly emotional. I remember playing Wii with my parents and teaching my grandmother how to swordfight, and this brought back a lot of positive memories. Thank you for making it.

[@user-tg9rx6ps5c]

RIP Matt, you were the best trainer the world has ever known.. Guys, this was incredible.

[@jond7972]

He hit the water wrong 😢

[@herviezzuala9944]

I feel like these videos have just been getting better. Eddy and Tony’s chemistry are just perfect… it’s almost like they’re related??

[@quagmira]

I was 4 in 2009 but I remember Wii Sports Resort so distinctly, I played it until our Wii broke down in 2020. I know the geography of Maka Wuhu like the back of my hand. This game has such a special place in my heart.

[@ensommeille5315]

this video made me feel old as shit and the fact there are people who were 4 in 2009 makes me feel absolutely decrepit hahahaha

[@quagmira]

@@ensommeille5315 yeah and now i'm an adult in college so thats even worse

[@hayleyfinnen6513]

this game was the only one my family ever played together, and watching this makes me miss those times. my parents are now divorced and i’m finishing college, so the nostalgia is really hitting me. missing those wuhu island times bro.

[@whitemountain_]

I am genuinely speaking when I say Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Party were extremely important in shaping my taste in games for the future. This video was great, thank you boys for bringing back the memories. ❤

[@cordeliabell4499]

Wii sports Resort literally made my childhood and I appreciate someone making a video on how amazing it was

[@metakarp_]

This game is so special to me. My cousins and I played it SO much. Especially the plane game, we used to take turns to play and all just sit around and watch the others and get excited when we found a new info spot! I fully agree with all points about it feeling so nice to realise this whole island has its own history etc. Absolutely lovely game mode!!

[@redtiny802]

So incredibly nostalgic. I remember me and my family playing the marching band and tennis games. A fond memory was my grandpa playing the bowling game. He LOVED it. And would sometimes ask to have it set up so he could play again. RIP grandpa. And thanks Wii Resort for the great memories.

[@ramen_hair]

15:38 This hit hard man, because I spent so many weekends being the first person in the house awake, and I would always eat breakfast and go play Wii Sports Resort in the living room and have some vivid memories tryharding against Miis in basketball

[@rythias975]

It’s so strange how you hit every nail on the head so perfectly in this video, you played cycling and realised “damn they actually made a load of this island” and it blew my tiny little mind, then you play Island flyover and it’s that same feeling on steroids, the crazy fun sword fights and that damn vibe 👌🏻 will never forget discovering the second island only to realise it was where the golf happened

[@Memu_]

A big part of why this game hit so hard for me was because we didn't own a wii but my aunt and uncle do. Every midsummer when we go there is already incredible and the vibe of Resort perfectly matches it.

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

That speech from Reggie was honestly pretty prophetic, even goosebump-raising in hindsight. Like...he nailed it. The Wii delivered exactly what he hoped it would.

[@jacktoney7548]

The best part of this video as the actual connection and memories that they shared, it was so much more than a game to them and I can relate with my brothers. Destroying them in Sword Fight was one of my fav pastimes

[@anastasiawhite605]

I love how accurate eddy’s mii looks, like yup that’s you

[@lego_minifig]

I loved this game. The sword fighting against swarms of enemies was awesome and the piloting was relaxing and satisfying.

[@mondaymorphinemurphey4946]

I remember getting my ass beat by goateed bitch Matt everytime on the sword fighting. Especially on the bridge

[@clementineshetheyfae8312]

I started loudly chanting “MATT MATT MATT MATT MATT MATT” when he was getting introduced thank God I was in the cooler at work LMAO

[@abbyrichardson1734]

island flyover saved my life during quarantine. i spent HOURS unlocking every single landmark on that island and it was the only thing that kept me sane

[@Ratqueenaisy]

You guys NAILED it this video, me and my brother spent hours when we were younger playing this. During covid I kept my eyes peeled until I found a guy selling his wii and resort JUST so happened to be apart of the games that came with. You guys got it down to a T with island flyover and the Sword games!

[@elizabethpage_]

Not the last few minutes making me emotional. I remember so fondly playing Wii Sports Resort when I was 8 with my siblings on the weekends. It was just such a simpler time back then and I miss it so much. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, boys

[@katherines.511]

I wasn’t gonna leave a comment like this but seeing so many people share their stories here has compelled me to share mine. I always used to play the Wii with my dad. Wii Sports Resort was one of my fav games to play with him because of the warm and inviting atmosphere of Wuhu Island, on top of some of the already fun gameplay from Wii sports. he died suddenly last year, and the end of this video unexpectedly made me cry. I hadn’t realized how much this game, and the Wii itself, reminded me of him until you drove home how this was, in many ways, the first game console for the family. it’s comforting to know that so many of us have such a soft spot for the game despite it’s perhaps lack of commercial success. there’s a feeling to Wii Sports Resort that other games just can’t replicate and its legacy is going to outlast so many others

[@cheplays2482]

That skydiving intro would always make me tear up as a kid. There was something really grand about it.

[@nl_morrison]

i think you guys do some really good skits together, i think they do often feel like skits which keeps the tone lighter, but i love the dysfunctional brothers direction.

[@smkohnstamm]

Guys, this was incredible. Great to see Tony really come into his own on these.

[@haileylomeli1731]

The end of this video actually made me cry because it reminded me of how now that me and my brother are adults and have moved out that I'll never have those moments playing with my family in the living room just laughing and enjoying the time together. There's always times we'll visit each other, sure, but it won't feel anything like Christmas morning playing the Wii all together for the first time

[@stephen-fj6yw]

The Wii brought my family closer together, I'll never forget the fun and excitement we had making our miis and playing all the games in Wii sports, seeing each other's miis in the different games gave a sense of fun like no other

[@tychi5916]

Nothing beats Family skii and snowboard on the wii.. Literally my childhood

[@Nyaauraa]

I really didn't expect anyone to make a video about how good and fun Wii Sports Resort in, especially in the current year. Even though the Wii is starting to become old, almost 18 years since it came out, it still has some great games like this one. I've always liked the Island Flyover minigame, I always replayed it so I could explore as much as I could. Really glad I haven't sold my Wii or given it to anyone, just feels nice to be able to have it here still after such a long time. Personally, I'm always gonna thank the Wii and the games in there for the fun that it gave me, even to this day.

[@TheMachoNacho007]

I remember slam dunking on Matt at the buzzer to finally beat him was the highlight of my childhood.

[@funniloneliboi]

I DESPERATELY want a fully explorable, open world Wuhu Island. I always loved island flyover mode as a kid, but I always wanted to just… walk around on foot, or ride around on the bike wherever I wanted. It always has been and always will be one of my biggest fantasies.

[@yamyam7918]

This game was so definitive to my childhood. It took all of us to convince my mom to get a Wii and by then Resort was out. Given the probably hundreds of hours we spent on flyover alone, how the heck did I never think to translate that Morse code!!?!

[@HeisenbergFam]

Its nice when Eddie remembers password to *real main channel* after 2 months

[@heavyy_eyess]

I remember coming home from school and making a beeline for the Wii to play Island Flyover. Sooooo much fun its ridiculous. Thanks for giving it the recognition it deserves after all these years. I never noticed the Cabana music change!!!

[@offbrandweasley1574]

I did grow up with Wii Sports Resort. It really was an amazing experience. Island Flyover was my favorite mode and really everything you said about how fun it would be on a Saturday morning is exactly as fun as you think it was.

[@laylasadiq8104]

15:18 *grieving loss of Matt* 2 seconds later: BASKETBALL!!

[@jonathanschaefer9848]

This game is, no joke, one of my favorites of all time.

[@heidi9908]

just the fact that all these sports are all contained in one resort and the island has everything! even cliffs for riding your bike off of (my personal favourite) I’ve always wanted to live there, it looks like so many holidays packed into one, and its not even overflowing with tourists! 😅

[@MidnightScout]

I wanna talk about the end of the video. It's so true how the Wii got families together. I was 7 and the first gaming console I saved up for was the Wii. This took forever since I only got like $5-$6 for an allowance a week. I'm pretty sure my parents helped pay for the other half, but it was still my purchase. The first night we got it was family game night, and we played Wii Sports. My mom couldn't complete the last golf hole and we laughed so hard. It led to so many fun moments. I remember Guitar Hero World Tour leading to full on band sessions with me on guitar, dad on drums and my sister singing. I got a Tiger Woods Golf game and played tournaments with my dad. Man...it was fun. And Wii Sports Resort was a game that got my sister and I to play together every so often, even as our interests drifted apart. I still find myself coming back to that game every now and then, cause I NEVER GOT ALL THE ISLAND LOCATIONS IN FLYOVER People can say what they want about the Wii, and especially the WiiU, but that console brought everyone together, not just gamers.
