Zap! Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I feel that this definitely deserves its own thread, so here it is. The release date is April 29, 2022, and I have it on pre-order. How do you guys think it looks from the trailer? Personally, I can't wait. I was a huge fan of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, so hopefully this game retains some of the magic and charm of the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I still have both those cDs and a Wii but I'm largely considering actually selling it off, on the fence, since it just sits. WIth those 2 coming, Mario Galaxy on Switch too, and also Klonoa(and its sequel) going Switch too in HD it leaves me with punchout, moh heroes 2, muramasa, new smb(ehhh), smg2, and metroid prime trilogy steelbook. That's about my hold outs. I think this bundle being scaled back some to the better key elements and adding a little new too with soccer for instance I think it should be a winner. THe icons on the clip up there as a tease isn't even honest, it lacks golf, which this game does have. I have to admit I'm annoyed really that golf is a digital download only it appears, but they're not talking about charging for it at least (at this time.)

MrBeefy Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have it on preorder. I like the looks of it. I know without a motion bar that it will be different. However, I still enjoy the Bowling on Clubhouse Games. It looks charming enough that I think I will enjoy it. Soccer intrigues me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our teenage kids may actually *play* a game with us, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'm really disappointed with the lack of Miis ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only really needed for the things where you point at the screen. For anything that's just using the gyroscope and accelerometer, the Joy Con has it covered. I had a brief go at the tennis when they were doing the multiplayer test and it was instantly familiar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I really liked the Basketball game in Wii Sports Resort and Boxing on Wii Sports, and was hoping for those. But that said, this looks like a ton of fun on its own. I do like the leg strap thing. I need to get off my fat buttocks and use Ring Fit Adventure more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzip Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I would like to have more events like Wii Sports Resort had. I'm sure someone in my family will still buy a copy though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm OK with less sports so long as they're done well. Others could possibly follow though, if the demand is there as DLC. That's how they're adding the golf, at any rate. Indeed, there appear to be some unused venues on the map screen, such as a park suspiciously shaped like a baseball stadium and a marina, as well as transport links that might lead off to other hubs.

MrBeefy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Maybe they could get some of the fastest growing sport, Cornhole, down the line! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'll be picking this one up for sure; was a big fan of Sports on Wii and Wii U. No Mii's is a bummer; but i suppose they have to move on from the Wii era eventually. Although if they let you have them on Switch, then why not just include them? Who knows.

Zap! Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Got this mailed to me last week and I'm loving it so far. For now, Tennis is my favorite. Who else is playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play with you Mii, it's just that the body's don't look like they did in the Wii days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It's good fun, the motion controls feel much tighter in the existing sports, and the new ones feel like worthy additions. I can't help but feel that there's something missing though, and not just the golf. Hopefully there will be more updates to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Is there any way to change the sensitivity of the motion controls? Seems like everything requires a sudden thrust of the wrist and that might lead to injury. The old wii controllers weren't like that.
