Well like an older topic said (maybe it was yours Kairon?) Wiisports is basically a gateway drug.

I didn't notice anyone say this... but what ever happened to claims of "controller lag"... cause I don't see any, anywhere, at all in this game.

There IS lag, but seriously, people adapt to it like *snaps fingers* that. Lag monsters were wrong.

Yes, this game is awesome. It even got my mom playing, which never happens. Couldn't get my dad to play, he was being a wuss ("Oh you'll make fun of me"). Whatever!

This will likely be the centerpiece if I can get anyone to come to a party.

Yes it as the spartest move for nintendi including this game, especialy cuz I wouldnt have bought it other wise and it is the most fun I have had so far. ME and all my Ps3 only buddies played Blowing for three hours late last night and they are already sold on the Wii and they were all getitng PS3's, ok well still geting Ps3s but now intereste denough to maybe geta Wii.

Plus it is so reallife, yo know how when ypur drunk you bowl better, at the frist few frames everybody was sober and doing crappy, but after everybody was buzzin the game really took off. this is the party game for sure.

Also my friends who played also work the the golf course here and play golf religoulsy and they said it was so accurate and fun they cant wait for Toger woods to come out cuz if it playes liek this they are 100% sold.

I justw ish I had more moeny to get ANY other game cuz Wii sports if fun and all but I need to try some real games soon.

I was one the people who foresaw its appeal & the necessity to bundle it

I would've bought it for 50 so when I heard it was standard I felt like patting Nintendo on the back

Even tho I have Madden 07 and Monkey Ball [and they're wonderful in their own right]

My family keeps coming back to WiiSports

We actually need a 2nd Wii cause everyone wants to do different stuff
Tennis is about all we agree on

between multiplayer Tennis & the Photo Channel we've been playing nonstop

There's a party at my house tommorow, and noone coming knows about this secret weapon. WiiSports is sure to capture peoples hearts.

P.S. at first my 25 year old sister was mad at me for not telling the controls [cause she used to traditional videogames] and I was like, "You don't need buttons...just swing" . She ended loving it, specially the power-serve to earn aces.

Woah, hold on there, leave some Wii's for the rest of us poor souls who haven't gotten one yet.

Wait until the Black one comes out... or something...

I've had the exact opposite of many people here; I just can't get into boxing.

I think I must be doing something wrong. When I try to punch with my left more often than not I punch with my right. I think I'm getting too "into it" and kind of thrusting forward and the remote thinks I'm trying to punch with the remote. I'm also having a really hard time blocking. I guess I should have paid more attention to the instructions.

Tennis is lots of fun. It took me a while to get my timing down. In the beginning I would swing either too early or too late and the ball would go flying off in one direction or the other.

I'm not sure what I think about baseball. Hitting a home run and hitting a pop fly seems to be a pretty big crap shoot. No matter how hard/fast I swing I can't reliably get a home run.

Bowling is fun, but I can't figure out how to add spin.

Golf is great. I might have to pick up Loli golf when it's available.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #34 on:** November 20, 2006, 07:18:32 AM »

Boxing seems the least intuitive out of all the games but it's the best workout.

Haha haa

yeah, I planned to wait and get a black one next year, but if I can find another white one I might just cave in and get it!

Watching my wife taking her steps up to a non-existant foul line while bowling was delight until she whooped me in a game, then I felt compelled to go through the full motion myself and it actually helped. After an hour of playing by herself, she was sweaty and breathing hard and decided she would play wiisports every morning as an additional workout. Keep in mind that she has never been into videogames until she took my DS Lite and got pulled into Brain Age. I thought she might get interested in WiiSports, but for me, watching her get totally sucked into Zelda was the real suprise . My son and I sat in line for 9 hours and so far I have only played a couple hours worth of games (and my son is not the console hog anymore).

BTW: I'm 40 and my wife is 48 - Kiddy system? I would argue that one!

MANTI5 · « **Reply #37 on:** November 20, 2006, 09:13:45 AM »

This game is a blast. After standing/sitting on a concrete floor in lawn & garden for around 11 hours, finally getting my system and Zelda, I thought I'd get home and try out sports for 10-15 minutes before moving on to the "real" game. I didn't get to Zelda for another day and a half after getting hooked and then showing it to family who had a great time with it.

My little niece 0wns at basebal, nailing like 8 or more homeruns before I even hit 1...

Excellent game. You need to stand up to fully enjoy all of the games and I love it. This will really help break the typical gamer stereotype.

In boxing I started slow but once I picked up the punching better I loved it.

ok you guys, my grandma likes wii sports so much she baught her own controller.

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #40 on:** November 21, 2006, 05:48:55 PM »

Wii Sports is great. I am so glad that it was bundled in with the system. It is definitely the first game to show your friends/family who are new to Wii.

Nintendo has really been on the ball lately. They are not perfect and I have some gripes about DS/Wii, but overall they are just doing what it takes to succeed. I believe Wii will be the first Nintendo console to outsell its predecesor.

Someone should make a list of "controversal decisions by Nintendo that they stubbornly adhered to until we realized they were right". The latest on that list would be bundling Wii Sports. Wind Waker graphics change would also be there (at least for me).

dude Boxing is my favorite now, I am the undisputed champ at my house. I learned a different way to play it and the punching detection is picked up a lot better. However the technique i use means your not really punching in the air. The way I do it is kind of like playing the drums with the controllers to do jabs, and upward flicks to do uppercuts.

Hopefully the way i described it is good. After playing it this way I would say my hit detection has improved ten fold.

Oh and apparently out of my 5 Wii games, Wiisports is still the most played by my family.

What IS the proper way to do an uppercut?

Wii Sports is incredibly awesome, and it's appealed to my entire family. My mother is constantly asking if she can play some more boxing. We bought two Wiis on opening day, one to sell, but I think they may end up keeping it

I'm really good at tennis and golf. I'm okay at baseball and bowling; my luck tends to fluctuate on those. I'm absolutely terrible at boxing. I've won once. I must be doing something terribly wrong.

Caliban · « **Reply #46 on:** November 24, 2006, 04:01:31 PM »

My favourite Wii Sports is definately Baseball and Golf, with the other 3 I still have some problems sometimes but whatever.

When playing baseball, I absolutely love it when one of you is on the bat ie "oh look it's bloodworth, come on give me a home run". How fast is your pitch? Today I beat my prior record of 94mph, I did 95mph lol.

I've been able to do birdies in golf, I don't think it's possible to do a hole in one.

From launch day until today I have managed to get only one pin strike in bowling hahaha.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #47 on:** November 24, 2006, 04:14:43 PM »

95 is the best I got.
Has anyone else discovered the turbo-serve in tennis? My nine year old cousin discovered it by accident and once I was aware of its existence I deduced how to do it. It's quite useful, though I only use it in tight spots, since it's not too fair.
I've also gotten quite good at pitching. Still suck at boxing, after playing a few more rounds

I've gotten a birdie, no hole in one.

Kairon · « **Reply #48 on:** November 24, 2006, 06:34:28 PM »

The great thing about Wii Sports is that with 5 different sports, EVERYONE has a different favorite.

Today I hit a ball out of the park and my expression was "huh? what hapenned? I hit one out of the park, woohoo *jumps around*", I think the only way to hit a ball out of the park is hitting the ball to go really close to either left or right side of the field, I "accidently" hit it to the right side.

I also have added another favourite in Wii Sports, it is tennis. I didn't like it before because I still couldn't understand why my swings weren't making fast balls, coincidently today I watched this 4-way multiplayer Wii tennis game and I noticed how quickly they flicked their arms and I was like "hmmm I gotta try that" because I could perceive that the balls were going quite fast between each seen swing, I tired and it works just awesome hahaha.
