Posted December 17, 2006 I've been pestering my brother all day to try this out. He keeps saying "I'll try it tomorrow." He's not really into games at all, to be honest. But, I loaded up Wii Sports and made him play boxing, and he sat down and started to throw a few punches. A few more punches, and then followed by a few laughs. Before I knew it, he was standing up actually going for it. He then tried bowling, which he was pretty ok at, but clearly loved it anyway. Tennis was his game, though. He got some great serves in, and won some decent points. But yeah, it was pretty fun to see him up and playing this game. Just by watching him you could tell he was into it. A couple of my other brother's mates came around this morning to check the Wii out. They played some more boxing and tennis, and they loved it, too. This is definitely the game you show to people to make them understand what this controller/console can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2006 I don't get aiming in tennis at all. Bowling was the best one at first, but now is only fun with friends. Boxing is awesome now that I'm pro =) Golf is fun, I never really tried it before. Baseball is alright, but I hate pitching <.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2006 I'm now a pro bowler too! I'm only about 50 points off being a Pro boxer too, I love boxing, makes me feel like it's good for me the way I'm jumping around and my heart's pumping. Nintendo were very smart for packing this with the console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2006 Yesterday played a game of bowling with three friends. One of my friends, the guy next door in fact, had never played before. He's not even a gamer, owns no console, had only played the Wii once before when I gave him a quick go at golf. The man scored 188. A spare in the first frame followed by five strikes in a row. On his first go ever!! Insane. I don't get aiming in tennis at all. Bowling was the best one at first, but now is only fun with friends. Boxing is awesome now that I'm pro =) Golf is fun, I never really tried it before. Baseball is alright, but I hate pitching <.< If you're right handed and hitting forehand, then hitting it too early will make it go left, and hitting it too late will make it go right. Imagine how it would work with a real racket. To aim straight you want to hit it when it's almost completely level with your side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2006 I've been trying to get 10 home runs in that Baseball training for 2 days now! I keep getting to 8 and missing the 9th. I have 10 notices on my message boardnow, only from playing Wii Spors and Wii Play. I got a silver medal in Tennis Target Practise. And checking again I got a Gold medal in the exact same practise. Got 20 targets. Also I did the fitness test again and I stayed the exact same as yesterday, 33... Now to the Wii Play thread to boast about some scores.

Posted December 27, 2006 Myy cousin has a Japnese wii and I am really stuck in getting wii sports running. The only game we can do is boxing. It wont let me play the other sports. I can select them but after I pick my character I have to return to main menu. Anyone with a Japanese wii or have any idea how to resolve this problem?

Posted December 27, 2006 A while ago I did the fitness test. It does the same bastard trick as Brain Age. It said you got an age of 20........then it waits im like ok carry on. It drops down and says I have an age of 29.......... that bastard. So anyhoos I did it again today, and got an age of 21. Shabba. got the level 18 in spin control on it. Shame icant do that when training. The balance and Stamina are full and my speed was just under the full mark. I seriously thought it was gonna do the same trick as above.

Posted December 28, 2006 I'm finally a pro tennis player. I introduced my family to the game and they loved the bowling and golf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 28, 2006 I have introduced the Wii to my family and my dad wants to get one! my step mum also who hates any form of computer games and think they are a pointless stupid hobby is hooked on tennis. then they saw the advert that has a mix of games and said "get that one"= wario ware. Looks like to me Nintendo are on to something, (as more and more people seem to be believing) can't imagine all my family jumping around the room playing on a PS3! new high score on bowling for me: 220, think being in competition with others makes me play better! also interesting my brother who plays golf alot and has a real low handicap, played me at golf and absolutly kicked my ass first try, interesting to see how the relevant skill sets can be quickly applied to the wiimote.

Almost pro in tennis now,and i've just started playing boxing which is fun.I like playing my sister at baseball,when i'm pitching she keeps saying I cheat and I throw the ball low when it's a normal fast ball.I get some cheap laughs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 29, 2006 Boxing is ace. Lots of reviewers did not regard it much but its got lots of hidden depth and you can learn to be precise with the controls. Easily best of the bunch for me. Hopefully EA will do fightnight soon as I loved the cube one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 29, 2006 Boxing on Wiisports is awful. Being an amateur boxer myself, i discovered that you do better in the game by frantically punching like an excited 9 yr old girl would as opposed to doing the proper stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 30, 2006 Boxing on Wiisports is awful. Being an amateur boxer myself, i discovered that you do better in the game by frantically punching like an excited 9 yr old girl would as opposed to doing the proper stuff. I've found the opposite. Some of my brother's mates came around and started punching like hell. They all got knackered by the second round, and had done little damage. I usually find that 'choosing your punches' or punching at the right time has the desired effect. A true tactician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
