Wii Sports Resort Mobile Tour Offers Virtual Vacations at the Bite of Oregon 2009

Portland-Area Consumers Experience Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort on a Simulated Beach Resort

WHAT:
Not everyone can take a vacation this year, but Portland-area residents will be whisked away on a virtual island vacation as Nintendo’s interactive Wii Sports Resort™ Mobile Tour makes a stop at this year’s Bite of Oregon. On Aug. 7-9, attendees are invited to enjoy hands-on demonstrations of the game, which takes place on a simulated island resort oasis.

With 12 resort-themed activities, including wakeboarding, Frisbee™, golf, archery, and Swordplay, Wii Sports Resort provides users with a “staycation” that lasts months and months. Just as the unique motion controls of the original Wii Sports™ fueled a home entertainment phenomenon, Wii Sports Resort gives players an even more immersive experience, using Nintendo’s new Wii MotionPlus™ control enhancements to achieve new levels of precision and fun. The game is available now and is a must-have for anyone who owns a Wii.

WHO: Portland-area adults, teens, kids, festival fans and consumers of all kinds

WHEN: Friday, Aug. 7 and Saturday, Aug. 8: 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
Sunday, Aug. 9: 11 a.m.-8 p.m.

WHERE: Tom McCall Waterfront Park
700 S.W. Naito Parkway
Portland, OR 97204

(The Wii Sports Resort Mobile Tour will be set up near the Noodles booth.)
