In Baseball you will not handle any of the base running or fielding, the Miis that make up the teams again controlled by the game for these vital functions. You can set the match to be longer to counteract the guaranteed points a player might earn this way, but a lot of points will be earned more by the game deciding not to move your character well rather than failing to maintain the volley, making this sport one best dabbled in rather than played long term.īaseball is a bit of an improvement even though it takes a few vital parts of the sport out of the player’s hand as well. With no control over your movement there are times when a player should have been able to reach the ball and return it but the game simply did not allow it, one of the most egregious cases being a reliable technique where certain conditions allow a player to return a serve in a way impossible for the server to hit back. In Tennis you only control the movement of your racket, your Miis running around on their own. The swinging of your racket is fairly responsive and you can get a volley going easily enough, the sport providing some simple fun close to the real sport but one gameplay choice does let it down some. Tennis is always presented in a two on two format, the player able to actually play as an identical pair of Miis who will swing at the same time on their side of the court if they don’t want to team up with an AI or another human player. Going in the order the sports selection menu presents them would lead you to first select Tennis, and unfortunately it’s one of the weakest sports in the package. However, since each rating is tied to a Mii, you can choose to play as another one if you do want to essentially start over from the easy matches. If you are playing against game-controlled opponents instead of other human players, the skill rating will determine how competent the AI will be, this dynamic difficulty rating eventually letting you find your sweet spot for a competitive match in that sport.

Each sport allows you to become a Pro once your skill rating reaches a total of 1000 points, this having minor cosmetic changes like giving you a new special ball for Bowling but also tying into the game’s difficulty. After customizing your Miis from the Wii’s main channel menu you are asked which one you want to play as when you boot up a sport, each one having a skill rating that is tracked based on how well you do when you play. The quality of them does range a bit and some by their very nature do require more attention in terms of design than others, but universally the sports all lean on using the Wii’s Mii system for its characters.
Wii Sports brings with it five major sports: Tennis, Bowling, Golf, Baseball, and Boxing. For many the Wii would even just be a Wii Sports machine, the device’s controls making it far more accessible than getting a group together to play the real sports while also removing many of the barriers of required athleticism in the process. Swinging the remote like a baseball bat, golf club, or tennis racket removed the need for learning a game or system before playing it for many, Wii Sports’s five available sports enough to launch the Wii to incredible sales.
Motion controls were even more natural than touch screens for interactive digital entertainment, a controller shaped like a remote that could read how you moved it smartly accompanied by a game that contextualized it by imitating real world sports. While the Nintendo DS and games like Nintendogs were a strong foothold for Nintendo’s new casual gamer focus, it was the Wii and its pack-in title Wii Sports in 2006 that really threw open the floodgates.
