Wii
 

It's pretty much a PITA, but I'm posting from my new Wii. I suck at Wii bowling in exactly the same way I do at the real thing!

Congrats Wolf!

I played wii golf with my 4 yr old today. She went 1 under par and I got 8 points for 'giving up' (ie: I had too many shots to count them).

I've always enjoyed playing with my Wii Wii.

ROLF, wait until the kids are all over at someone elses house, and have a game of naked bowling with your "other". Makes losing horribly much more fun :)

We love our Wii there is lots of Wii extras under the tree this year, games, controllers, zappers... etc.....

Apparently I don't totally suck at DDR ;)

I can't stand bowling, but I'm actually pretty good at the Wii version (if my two games with a 9 year old competitor can be considered an acceptable sample). I'm hopeless at Wii tennis though. Don't know what my eyes are doing, but I can't actually work out where the ball is meant to be, unless I'm serving (the opposite of the real thing...which I'm crap at as well, just not as crap as the Wii version).

Your mii should track on the ball, so all you really have to do is swing forehand or backhand at the right time. I want to get one of the more sophisticated tennis games. I really like the tennis.

That's the bit that I can't seem to do right (not that I've practised a lot).

Have you ever played real tennis, badminton, or ping pong?

I play squash weekly, tennis semi-regularly (I was playing weekly while I was in Chile) and ping-pong occasionally. I played badminton at school and although I'm not great, I can definitely maintain a decent rally as long as my opponent isn't really competitive. I'm going to blame my lazy eye for my inability to play Wii tennis. Would that be convincing?

Absolutely.

Cool! Now to work on being convincing all round.

Wii Got One of these Wii Thingees ,

This house got it for christmas... "sucks for 2 player, great online"

on New Year's Eve, I went back to our house and grabbed our two remotes, and we played doubles tennis with our hosts on their system. It was a blast. I'd never used 4 remotes before that. Now I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy two more remotes for our house so we can do kids against grownups. Once you figure the remotes, the motion control add ons, and the nunchucks, it's got to be close to $150-$200. It adds up.
