Wii sports poll, for real this time!

[Xot]

Boxing for me, but Baseball and Bowling are both serious contenders!

[rjchamp3]

Baseball 2-0 already

[SteveW]

I don't have one yet, but Bowling is the one I'm most looking forward to.

[bretthorror]

Bowling, I always throw the ball to the left, even if I go insane and throw the remote completely to the right.

[Lord Helmet]

Bowling is great. Followed by Tennis.

[AtariJr]

Don't worry. I just voted for bowling for you because I don't have a wii but my vote counts !!

 

2 questions about bowling.

 

Can you change the speed of the throw to make the ball faster/slower?

Can you get a kick-ass curve or is there just like a certain predetermined curve rate?

Love the bowling. Golf and Tennis are close seconds, but man. Bowling is so damn fun with 4 people.

[rjchamp3]

baseball 5-0 won last game 10-2 scored 10 in the last inning

[Mendon]

Bowling: is the best, in my opinion. For whatever reason I throw more to the left than anywhere else, no matter how I hold the remote. Fun game, though.

 

Golf: is hard for me as I haven't figured out how to control how hard I'm hitting the ball so I slice and hook constantly.

 

Baseball: Didn't care much for it as hitting was alright but you did nothing in the field except throw the ball.

 

Tennis: is a lot of fun.

 

Boxing: Hard. Will take some practice practice practice.

Mendon, there's gotta be something messed with the controls or else we suck, I always throw to the left as well. I hear you have to completely follow through for there not to be a curve. I may play it again soon and try to throw it to the right straight on and see what happens. For awhile there, I was curving right and it still went left.

Are you sure you are not turning your wrist over when you throw the ball? I noticed when the wiimote is in my hand, it has a natural tendency to be twisted left of center, which causes the ball to curve left when I throw (right handed). Once I consciously straightened out my wrist and kept it that way through the swing, the ball would go straight.

 

Just my (limited) experience, your mileage may vary

Yes and yes.

 

The speed of the ball depends on the speed you swing the remote, as well as where you release the ball (by letting go of the b button)

 

The corve depends on how fast/sharp you twist your wrist when you are about to release the ball. It really does feel like real bowling.

Yes and yes, although the speed is entirely determined by your throwing motion. Also, rotating the controller (turning your wrist) affects the hook of the ball.

Bowling is by far the best for me. The only real game on there. The rest are

more like demos.

Playing with three people yesterday was like being at the alley.

Two people sitting on the couch waiting for their turn while one stood and bowled.

Really cool.

 

My throws cut to the left too, although I have adjusted enough that it is minimal.

Still there though.

 

Baseball was fun. My three year old was playing with me. I think he got the hang of it faster than me.

 

Tennis was fun as well, but would be more fun if you could control the players and not just the racquet.

Wife and I played this one for a while.

 

Golf has potential, but really hard to judge the strength of your shots.

 

Boxing - haven't tried it yet.

[figgler]

Yes, but once you get used to that it's just awesome. I dare say I've been playing Golf nearly as much as Zelda. At the very least, you can do practice shots before moving up to the ball to see how hard your swings are. I just love every moment of Golf, I just wish there were a few more holes

[Lord Helmet]

Speaking of golf...I'm actually excited about a golf game on the Wii...even [gasp!] Tiger Woods 07...

[rjchamp3]

MY GOD, I LOVE THIS BASEBALL GAME, CAN I LOSE THAT IS THE QUESTION

[compacho]

Tennis owns me so much. Bosxoing is pretty neat too.

[Atari-Jess]

my bowling ball likes to go to the RIGHT (although today it was going even more right than before BOO)

 

I prefer boxing, better workout.

[bretthorror]

The funny thing about golf, for the people who cry about judging the swing of your shots, now I'm not saying it's 100% accurate or anything, but this is why real golf is much more hard than swinging in video games. You just don't put balls exactly where you want by pushing a button.

[Shawn]

I've honestly bowled about 50 games where as the rest of the games on the disc I doubt I've played 50 games combined.

[MegaManFan]

Bowling looks and sounds an awful lot like the Super Monkey Ball Bowling minigame.

[+swlovinist]

On thanksgiving, I bowled several games where I just tried the other games. Bowling my favorite because it is what the Wii advertised, fun and easy to play. Hell my mom played it, and she does not touch video games!
