Hero-of-Time Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Getting a retail release in Japan in July. Retail release seems to come with Baseball and Boxing, so those will likely be out soon. Good stuff. I'm hoping we get a retail release but we may not given that we didn't get Nes Remix. If it does appear over here then I'll snap it up.

Dcubed Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well! Guess we know what two of Nintendo's surprise "and it's available right now after this presentation" E3 announcements are now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to download it to my Wii U if they do a good deal for getting all 5 sports together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 They better support people who have bought the other games. Buy 4 at any time and get the fifth free. Then announce resort and more games joining it! Then do the same process with Nintendoland. Then make the online as comprehensive on both as golf and mario kart and we're onto a winner!

NEX Remix is a rather niche game, though. Wii Sports Club would probably sell better as a retail game than it would digitally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapedeck Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 They really need to sort out the controls in Tennis. They keep freaking out randomly. I tried to go back to this the other night and ended up quitting out of it. You have to keep resetting the default position with the D-Pad. The crazy thing is, is that sometimes it is flawless. I just can't fathom out what the hell is wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't fathom out what the hell is wrong with it. It's probably IR light pollution messing up the Motionplus calibration for you. The remote is constantly looking for the sensor bar in order to calibrate itself while you play and the smallest sun ray is enough to mess it up. It works perfectly for me as long as I ensure that no sunlight gets in while I'm playing. All I can suggest is making sure that all of your curtains are closed properly and that you don't have anything like Kinect or any other IR light emitting device turned on while you play. Failing that, you can actually turn the sensor bar auto calibration off, but it will result in a lot of drift buildup very quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does drift though so maybe there is the sensor bar calibration turned off. Wouldn't have thought so though as don't even know where that option is?

RedShell Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Looks good. Albeit VERY late!Yeah. I wonder if the situation with Wii U would've been different had that been the launch title instead of Nintendo Land... Boxing and baseball must be coming soon digitally...They're probably going to release 'em together to limit the amount of free trials. Looking forward to checking out boxing.

Do you actually think this will happen? I completely forgot about this game. To me, Wii Sports has had its time. It doesn't have the draw it once did. This is really far too late and should have been in the Wii U's first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Sports was a great intro into motion control, but really they should have been releasing fully fledged individual games for Wii U like Grand Slam Tennis rather than just another demo of mini games.

But I know what you mean, it really should've been a launch day title... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownferret Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 the annoying thing is I would much prefer the disc, but if I buy it i'm £27 down on having already paid for the first 3 sports as digital downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londragon Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Picture taken from the back of the Japanese box. Take a look under player 1's icon, it clearly shows that the boxing game is played by using 2 Wii Motion Plus Remotes. Get in there. This should be so much better than the original.
