Got my first platinum on the mole tennis game. Cannot get to grips with the duck one though. You miss a clock and it's practically game over.

I struggle with them all to be honest, though haven't played much. What's the trick?

 

The control system is ridiculously deep. Too much so?

I do get instances where M+ freaks out on me. It doesn't let you go past, say 90degrees to the left or right, as when you do, it freaks out and inverts to the other side. :hmm: I then have to re-calibrate via the Menu as down on the d-pad doesn't work.

 

In regards to the game though: (Note: I'm right-handed)

When hitting it in this position, I find turning your wrist clockwise (Like turning a key) adds a lot of swerve to the ball and backspin to the ball, making the ball spin to the right.

 

Turning your wrist anticlockwise (as if you are coming down over the ball) gives a lot of top spin and is great for net play. Timing is also key and is just like in the original Wii Sports but is far more sensitive due to motion plus and your position of the racquet. You also don't need to swing as frantically.

 

When backhanding the ball:

Early position is key but again, swerve can be key.

A clockwise flick of the wrist will put top spin over the net, anticlockwise swerve backspin to the left.

I find it important to look at the racquet position as much as the ball...if not more so as you generally tend to know early where the ball is going to drop.

 

In my opinion positioning of the racquet and making a judgement on which technique to use for your shot is where the skill of this game lies.but yeah...it's still rock solid!

Hope this helps someone! : peace:

Resulting in...Second platinum of the day. :D

It's the backspin I don't fully get, I seem to back spin it and it goes at quite a pace to th back of the court, but definitely no curve.

 

You have any tips on how to lob it with frequency?

Backspin always seems to go deep. I have joy when holding the racquet almost vertically and being as minimal with movement as possible. Pain though as sometimes gentle doesn't register.

 

Lobbing is something I haven't fully mastered and is needed for me to improve. Primarily because of multiplayer when playing the star players as many of them spam the net. :nono:

Cool, hope means it'll be out before Xmas, if it is I'll buy all 3 sports!

 

Whats on the notice board thing to the left? I can makes out the words Instagram and Reggie only... wonder if this'll be the "new look" game teased for VGX :heh:

 

EDIT

 

Also can't make out from the video, but does that look like a new course?

Can't tell, the camera angle doesn't show enough for me to tell if it's a new course or not...

 

That being said, I'd be shocked if it didn't get released before Xmas day. They've been dropping hints for the last week or so and they've already started advertising it on TV in the US...

Because i want to be playing Golf for Xmas when I go to my sisters on Xmas Eve :p

 

I know I could just bring Resort but I've not transfered my Wii data to Wii U and I'm lazy too haha. One of my cousins who will be at my sisters house Xmas Eve also me and him are very competitive on Golf would be nice to have a new feature with the Gamepad use and hopefully some new courses haha.

 

ah well

Just realised next Thursday is the last before Xmas, Golf has to be in next weeks eShop update surely...

 

They need something to fill Jan-Feb. I think that'll be it. :blush:

On another note - I thought it a poor business decision by SquareEnix to not release the Tomb Raider remake alongside the PS4/XBone re-releases in January. Would have been good to have mimicked their DeusEx release, especially as Lara has released on Ninty platforms in the past. This industry. :indeed:

 

Back on topic :P

Would love more sports for Christmas but think that the two sports titles, WiiU Party and SMW3D are great titles for family play time this Christmas. Also, still loving tennis. Had a few games on this and the original today. This version annihilates the original.

I think that Golf will still be released before the end of the year, while Baseball will see release in January and Boxing will be pushed to March (they're having trouble getting online to work in Boxing according to the Iwata Asks interview, so that'll take some extra time, but they'll push to get it out before the end of the fiscal year).

 

Book it!

Yeah, the fact it was in that TV ad means it must be close. :)

And when a new Sport gets released, the 24 hour trial activates again for all sports, right?
