I've been playing the Wii some nights after work w the misses w Wii Sports being a staple. So we figured we'd try Wii sports club for Wii U and holy shit it's bad. Somehow it's worse in every way except possibly baseball. I am just shocked that the flag ship title for the Wii was murdered on the Wii U release. Tennis is maddening by somehow constantly losing calibration of the motion sensor plus remote. Boxing turns into an unplayable mess. Golf shows your ball just on the gamepad? There's no added benifit to putting the gamepad on the ground either.


Is there a worse remaster? Is this even a sequel? I can't believe a simple lovable game could be somehow ruined so swiftly. The sales numbers are around 130,000 for North America so somehow over 100k suckers got coaxed into buying this lump of coal. SAD

Even worse- the Brunswick Bowling game for WiiU DOESN'T USE THE WIIMOTE.

Just a big ol piece-a garbagio.

Sports Champions is the follow up to Wii Sports we deserve. Bocce and Disc Golf are fantastic IMO.

Oh man I forgot about how dope Disc Golf is with Sports Champions!
 

Wii sports did have the badass follow up it deserved in Wii sports resort. My Wii is shot and no way repairs would bring it back. I'll probably buy another one just to play for Wii sports, Wii play, and Wii sports resort. Never heard of or played sports champions but plan to check into it after reading this. Disk golf on the Wii? Yes, please.

Unfortunately it's on PS3, but the PS Move is more accurate than a Wiimote which is why it works so well. I really liked the plane find-the-balloons game and upgraded Bowling/Golf in Wii Sports Resort. I think I forgot about it because it does have a bunch of filler.
 

Duuuuuude, I thought I was the only one who liked the balloon finding. I spent a lot of time drinking beer and finding balloons. Cleared it and started over several times. Great feature I have never heard anyone else reference ever.

Lmao, I took a picture with my TV the first time I found them all. It's good to find another balloonatic!

Tiger Woods 11 has disc golf on it.

Deca Sports 2 has bocce (they call it Petanque on there).   

 

That's too bad. It should have been a near direct port with online play capabilities and maybe some new events. How hard would that have been? Honestly never having played it, I thought that's what it was!

Same!! I was expecting literally the same game with updates graphics and online play. I got an unpinched, steaming turd fresh out the puphole.

?? I thought it was improved and way better when i played it the few times i did

I'm sorry sir but you might be the only person on the internet to have that opinion

Of course you did; you also think the Cowboys are awesome.

 

I didnt play everything on it. But i remember playing baseball and golf against my little cousin and had a good time
 

HA! Got'eeeem!
 

I only bought the bowling portion when it came out, but it was fine for me. It basically felt the same as the original except it looked a good bit nicer (being in HD and widescreen). I'll have to track down a full physical copy and try the others, but admittedly bowling was really the only game I cared for in the original Wii Sports. Everything else felt janky to me.

Like i said i didnt play it all. I played local multiplayer golf and baseball. They were good. I assume bowling wouldnt be any different. Its not some dumpster fire people are saying in here. Is it a go to game? Not anymore than the original.  Maybe some suck but a good time can be had on some

Baseball is the only improved game. Golf has 0 improvements. Bowling is not helped by the motion sensor plus. Boxing is unplayable. Tennis requires you to recalibrate the controller several times during a match. I put 10+ hrs into it and called it a dumpster fire. Casually booting up a game doesn't allow a person enough time to give it a proper grade. I even went back and forth comparing and contrasting to Wii sports. Not just as I remembered it to be but how it actually was and every game sans baseball is worse on Sports Club than the original. Like, should anyone reading this want to play Sports Club on the Wii U just don't. Find Wii Sports for $4 shipped and play that instead. You're time and money will thank you.

I haven't played all the games in Wii Sports Club, but I thought Golf was great. It made pretty creative usage out of the Wii U controller and felt like a natural evolution of the original Wii Sports golf game.
