Rainy day recess meant Wii Sports tennis in the classroom. In the mid-2000s, Wii Sports was the mainstream video game. People bought the Wii for Wii Sports, making it, for some, a $250 game. Wii Sports benefited from being bundled with nearly every Nintendo Wii, but the pair elevated each other into the rarified air of pop culture phenomena. For context, the recent Elden Ring has sold 12 million copies, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the game that consumed the early days of pandemic lockdown, has sold 37 million. Nintendo shipped nearly 83 million copies of Wii Sports. Surely, if any franchise deserved prioritization, this was it. And yet, I have been dumbfounded for the better part of 15 years by Nintendo’s decision to put one of its biggest hits of all time on the back burner. Nintendo only has so many internal studios and trusted partners, and only so much space in a year to release games without competing against itself. This meager attention to franchises - franchises that other game publishers would make a deal with the devil to annualize - has more to do with practicality than stinginess. I’m looking at you, F-Zero and Golden Sun and Wave Race and Earthbound. Nintendo’s treasure box is so deep that it will go years, even decades, without creating a sequel for many of its hit franchises.
Nice music, but not something as memorable as Zelda.Alchemy doesn’t exist, but Nintendo does.Īt any moment, Shuntaro Furukawa can greenlight a new Metroid or Animal Crossing or Zelda or 2D Mario or 3D Mario or Mario Kart or Mario Teaches Typing, and a few years from now, that decision will have produced the closest the entertainment industry has to a guaranteed profit. But there are no slowdowns and the style is cool. I don't know if I would've gotten iit if it wasn't pañcked in, but, once you try it, you get hooked on it.įamily and friends will keep you coming back to Wii Sports. This game shows what the Wii is capable of. If you play 1 or 2 players you have to guys that do the same movements when you swing. I've so many memories of Mario Tennis on the N64. Well I dunno if it's really a flaw, but if you bowl like a like a girl (you just put the wiimote between you legs and move it up), it's basically a strike. you bowl! Anyways, there is a flaw in this game that I have found. Too bad that they made it split screen, they could've just made it the whole screen.īowling - Realistic style and. You block by putting your nunchuck and wii mote together around your body. So all you do is swing and pitch, but it's still fun!īoxing - It's too bad if you aren't getting a extra nunchuck with a extra controller because then you can't play 2 player. The swinging i s basically like tennis, or you could use 2 hands if you wanted to. Now, you will probably need a friend to have the most fun. The only difference is you can use one hand if you want.īaseball - Now heres a game that really shines on Wii Sports- This is my pick out of the games. The Wii mote is great with it, it feels like your actually swinging. The game is actually a lot of fun, and you can get addicted to it very fast. Now, let's talk about each of the 5 games: This game is funner with 2 people.Īs a special bonus, all the Miis that you make from the Wii you can play and it's just random. Bundled with the Wii, the game is very addictive, just not very deep.
WII SPORTS GOLF AAAAOH FULL
Read full reviewĪhh Wii sports, the game that brings families together. Thanks to the couple of weeks of Wii Sports practice I'm up and running. For a person with six grandsons this is a game I have got to get competent at. With a bit of practice I was all set to get started playing my latest game acquisition, Mario Kart. But beyond that it teaches the new user of this older system the ins and outs of the peripheral accessories. What I find most useful about these very inexpensive games, well? for one thing they are fun to play. My favorites are golf, bowling and baseball. It contains some pretty basic sports games with graphics typical of the time. The Wii Sports (Wii, 2006) was a popular game to be bundled with complete Wii setups 8 years ago. This is a very advanced system with a great number and variety of games available, all at better prices than before. Wii consoles and accessories, even brand new, are all over the place at prices much reduced. To those of us who had balked at adopting the last Wii, (Nintendo), on the basis of cost, this is a godsend. Obsolete, at least, in the eyes of those that must have the latest and greatest. With the recent release of Wii U systems the early adopters have done what early adopters do, caused the older Wii units to become obsolete.
Wii Sports (Wii, 2006) great neophyte practice at a very affordable price.
