Seriously, it's pure, unbridled glee. I can't wait to show this game to anyone and everyone I know...

Boxing took the longest to get down "perfect" but the most fun at the same time.
Now to put in some quality time with my main man Link!

Your Miis show up in games like this. Three of us were bowling and one of our friends was sitting in the bowling area with our Miis despite not playing.

It's amazing how awesome this game is!
And since there are 5 sports, everyone has their favorites and their less-than-favorites. There are people who LOVE BOXING. There are people who don't get it. There are people who HATE baseball, there are people who defend it. There are people who praise golf, tennis, and bowling, and those who differe, but have their own favorites.
This is seriously... like.. wow.

This will likely be the centerpiece if I can get anyone to come to a party.
Post by: segagamer12 on November 20, 2006, 05:34:11 AM
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 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.

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

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.

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!

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

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).

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.

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.
Post by: Caliban on November 24, 2006, 04:01:31 PM
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.
Post by: Hostile Creation on November 24, 2006, 04:14:43 PM
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 :P
I've gotten a birdie, no hole in one.

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.

What? No "Gears of War," with its perfect blend of visual detail and brutal narrative? No "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion," featuring an expansive fantasy landscape packed with trials and treasure? Not something for the PlayStation 3? What about other Wii games? The new "Zelda" game lives up to the grand reputation of the series. And "Rayman Raving Rabbids" is as fun as it is odd.
While each of these games remains a worthy distraction from the pressures of the real world, none of them really changes the art or science of video games the way that "Wii Bowling" does.

Wii Sports 2 will sell like HOTCAKES! The bundling idea was the smartest move Nintendo have made this generation!

Wii Sports does indeed pWN the phone out of the dome in rome. I like bowling and baseball the best. Although I've been having a hell of a time staying above pro-level in bowling.
Post by: NWR_pap64 on January 02, 2007, 07:01:11 PM
The game was able to hook my mother (who has never played a game since the NES), both my nephew and niece, my sister and my brother in law. And I am personally in love with it too. My favorites are definitely bowling and baseball (even though I can't do a homerun for the life of me...). Golf would have to be my least favorite because the controls aren't all that great.
My main fear is that the game's appeal could end up not lasting as long as people expect it to. See, the game is a blast when it you show it to a lot of people, especially people oblivious to the concept of the game. But it starts to lose its appeal once you keep playing with the same people. I think at one point they will want to see something else, something new. Wii sports gives them a huge taste, and they will definitely want more and I doubt they would return to the same game over and over.
But outside that, Wii sports is easily the biggest surprise of the game because a lot of people were disappointed that the game was making the Wii more expensive and now they can't get enough of it.

Twirling the bat over your head before you swing in Baseball is just priceless.

Though the part on the right that is probably a grip might be helpful if well-made, considering how many butterfingers there are on people.

Sadly, that's not the case
.SB came to visit during New year's and brought his Wii along. He was hesitant of bringing it at first (considering that he would be traveling overseas with it), but now I can't thank him ENOUGH.
Seriously, on the first night of SB's visit me, my nephew and my mom played Wii sports till 3:00 in the morning. Our New Year's Eve consisted of us playing Wii all day long, all the way into the new year. My nephew and SB stayed up till 5 AM playing Wii tennis, making sure my nephew would get pro status on Tennis and Bowling. I even got a picture of them playing together.
It brought joy to this Puertorican's heart : _ ) .
The family decided to wait till April (which is my nephew's birthday) to find a Wii. As I mentioned before, I hope that Wii are easier to find by then.
