I mean i love my 360 and it's not like it's going to be replaced or anything, but damn Wii Sports is completely awsome.
I've played this with my family for 2 days straight. Every single person loved it and the Bowling which was everyone's favourite was the best i would say. Tennis, Boxing and Golf were great (Baseball isn't my thing) too.
I haven't played Zelda or Wii Play yet cos we couldn't stop playing bowling.
All i can say is bravo Nintendo, you have a winning formula. I can't wait till more refined sports games come out for it, lets say a cricket game done well would be outa this world.
Well done again.
My brother got one for Christmas and I'm getting quite good at the bowling. I had ago at Tennis but its like playing a proper game, its a good workout.
Apparently I have the ago of an 80 year old according to the Wii..

Seconded! My brother got one, and I've been thrashing the family at bowling! :)
Yeah, bowling is fantastic.
Tennis is good too, and I love the golf, just wish there were more courses (looking forward to Tiger Woods next year :cool:).
As for baseball, anyone know why it says Foul Ball? Do you have to hit it forwards or something like that?
Boxing is a bit hit and miss (no pun intended) but other than that, it rocks - especially for a release title that's bundled free of charge.
ps - Zelda is great too... started playing it today and loving it already

pps - have you seen that Epyx are releasing California Games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Games) for the Wii next year too.... hacky sack should be good :)
As for baseball, anyone know why it says Foul Ball? Do you have to hit it forwards or something like that?
Yup. Although you can still hit it forward and get a foul ball. The 2 lines that come out from the home plate (that form half the dimond) form the foul lines, and any ball that goes behind that is a foul ball.
Are you going to get any FPS games? I am dying to hear what you think Far Cry etc is like. Read the magazine reviews but the reactions are a bit mixed.
Cheers, mate... that'll explain a lot then :)
As for FPS well, I was holding out for Far Cry, but it's been completely slated so not so sure now. So it's down to either Red Steel or CoD3, not sure which one to get. Might try and rent them before I decide which to get.

Heard mixed reviews from Red Steel too. N magazine gave a wonderful review of far Cry, but then they would I suppose.
Sorta holding out on a Wii until I can found out what FPSes are like... Although I secretly I think I want one regardless.
Check out Super Mario Galaxy (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/732/732898p1.html) - especially the videos of the gameplay. If you've ever liked platform games, then this will convince you about getting a Wii ;)
Even Marge would enjoy playing with your Wii... my missus hates gaming normally, but she's hooked on Wii Sports and is looking forward to some of the other titles coming out soon

Hmmm. I think I might be buying one of these Wees at some point :scratch: I hear the wrist straps have been breaking, leading to broken TVs and windows, as the handheld wotsit goes whistling through the air :rofl: Steady now - it's only a game :D

I think I'll be buying one in the next couple of months :)

The wrist strap shouldn't be required, you are not supposed to let go of the controller.
Too many stupid people are being allowed to breed.I think that sums it all up :D
I've been playing with it for a few days now and in the bowling and boxing I've been giving it some welly, but I can't see how people are smashing their TVs, windows, children's skulls, etc... Think they're doing insurance scams personally.

Methinks one or two geeks might be blurring the line between fantasy and reality, and when taking on something with big teeth and a slime problem, they're getting carried away...

Do you find it makes your arms tire easily mate?
I find baseball to be the worst... although it's my shoulder more than arms that take a beating.
The missus was complaining about the boxing giving her sore arms to start with, but think she's not noticing it any more.

I played Wii Tennis on a friend's Wii yesterday.
Great fun, although I sucked at it. Did get a bit better after a while.
Still think I'll wait a while though. Not shelling out for a Wii just to play Wii Sports.

I hope you like muscle bound women ;)
Imagine, in the not too distant future there will be all these freaky kids with massive arms!

I think I need more practice at this.......................
Which bit, Sky?
Baseball takes a bit of getting used to - I kept on getting foul balls till I started holding the bat vertically instead of horizontally.
What's your average score for bowling? And how you enjoying the golf?

Only played for the first time last night, and did mostly training. Need to get some play time on it methinks.
