Tyson Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I'm looking forward to it. I have a few friends that aren't really "gamers" and they're buying the console for christmas, so this should make a good party game.

I have a few friends that aren't really "gamers" and they're buying the console for christmas, so this should make a good party game. QFT. I will invie some of my friends, who will buy this probably at christmas, and itll be a great party game. Just at golf punching him in the side so he misses a shot. Hitting each other over the head in tennis. tripping people up while bowling. Wii play will add to this. All this without getting drunk, just physically agressive
Kurtle Squad Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Nintendodrk are you joking? If you've been paying as much attention to IGN's coverage as you make out you'll find that they HAVE mastered bowling, so much in fact they can get a strike every time as they've found the 'cheat'!!I think this game will be good fun for a while, good in multiplayer and an absolute cert for getting non-gamers to play Wii - genius freebie by Nintendo! If you mean the playtest they did a few months back, that 'cheat' was gonna be fixed by Nintendo.
Jasper Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 But it wasn't fixe by Nintendo, because the retail version still has it.
Kurtle Squad Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Do you have a link that states that Jasper? Plus, you could ban people from using it so...
flameboy Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Do you have a link that states that Jasper? Plus, you could ban people from using it so... here: http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/745/745356p1.html and here's the quote with the important stuff in bold: Another hotseat game is Wii Bowling, the game we managed to "break" at the Nintendo Wii Launch Party in September. The game is meant to simulate the swing of the ball as you approach the lane, taking remote speed as power and the angle of the swing as curve. But we managed to figure the "exploit" where lining up on the second dot from the right and simply "whipping" the ball quickly will be a perfect shot every time. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this was fixed, as the strikes flowed from our hands right away using this knowledge. Don't tell your parents about it and you'll be fine...otherwise it's going to be mere minutes on the messageboards between the launch of the Wii system and the first perfect 300 score.
Cookyman Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 Does anyone know how many courses are on Wii Golf? I'm assuming theres just 1
flameboy Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 yeah it is 9 holes, interestingly they are the best 9 holes from the original NES golf game.
Hellfire Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 dont know if thiswas posted but whats with the ?? DOwnloadable games?
Cube Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 dont know if thiswas posted but whats with the ??DOwnloadable games? http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2006/11/wii_sports_training_lg.jpg They are the "training" missions (basically minigames), beat one to unlock the one below it.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Wii bowling. I love the little things.
Pit-Jr Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 i cant wait to play Wii bowling with others. Im slightly disappointed that its 'broke' but hopefully others wont know about it, it should still be a hugely entertaining game

Nintendork Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Cheating at the end of the day is just cheating yourself. You can cheat Brain Training in a few hours to lowering your Brain Age to 18/20 (whichever is lowest) But by doing that you're voiding the scientific basis of the game.. and really are cheating yourself. I would consider any bowling cheat to be banned from my Wii and would also expect Nintendo to thoroughly check a game for flaws after Mario Kart DS has all that snaking crap. It could have easily been resolved by having a boost limit on each track which removes unreasonable boosting on straights. It's debateable which is intended by designers.. and what is cheating.
solitanze Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Didn't really expect anything better from Wii Sports in terms of scores, as long as non gamers don't realise these exploits in the game then they'll have short fun bursts with the game.
flameboy Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 IGN review up... http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/745/745708p1.html
DCK Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 IGN review up... http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/745/745708p1.html Nice. Though I can't help but think they give this game too much credit as it's the first title they're reviewing and it's Nintendo's.
Hellfire Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 And it's just a small "tech demo" to show families that gaming can be fun and simple.
flameboy Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 yeah have to agree, i was expecting scores around 7/7.0/70% at the end of the day there really isnt much to it. I can imagine playing it quite abit at launch but after that it will be only be dipped in and out of very occasionally.
