Nintendo Wii System With Wii

Sports – One of the

Most-Requested Gifts For All Ages

Executive Summary about Nintendo Wii Sports by Jen Harris

Has someone on your list requested the Nintendo Wii System this holiday season? Sure, other video game systems are being requested, but the difference is by whom!

The typical video gamer is no longer the 8 year old boy clicking buttons on the controller. Nowadays, it is grandma who is terminally connected to the video game console, beating scores and becoming a pro player in Nintendo’s Wii Sports.

At a recent family gathering, we tried to show my grandmother and her friend how to play Wii Sports on the Nintendo Wii System. What is unique about the Nintendo Wii is its controller. Traditional video games like the Sony Playstation and the Microsoft Xbox have controllers that require the user to memorize sets of buttons. For now, only the Nintendo Wii System with Wii Sports is available, and supplies are fading fast!

Executive Summary about Nintendo Wii Sports by Alastair Harris

As most Wii console packages come standard with the Wii Sports package I thought it would be a good idea to review Wii Sports.

Wii sports comes with five sports.

* Baseball

* Bowling

* Golf

* Tennis

* Boxing

You can play all but the boxing with the controller that comes out of the standard package. But to play the boxing game, you will need the nunchuck. Baseball:

Apart from the Mii’s having no legs the game is graphically quite nice. I have one for each family member and the Mii looks similar (i.e. the kid’s Mii’s are shorter, slimmer, etc). The pitching in baseball is easy. Pushing no button gives a straight fast ball, the “A” button a screw ball and “B” for a curve ball and “A” and “B” for a splitter (dropping ball).

Timing is everything if you want a home run.

Bowling:

Ten pin bowling. Swing an underarm and hit the “B” button to release. You can make the ball spin by moving your wrist while swinging.

Golf:

Like the real game, Wii Sports golf requires patience, timing and the right application of force.

Tennis:

This is the only game that is disappointing. Wii Sports Tennis is lacking the necessary control in the ability to slam and directing the ball it a matter of very fine timing. Boxing:

Wii Sports also comes with a fitness and training option to test your reflexes, timing and power.

Wii Sports Tips

Executive Summary about Nintendo Wii Sports by Rob Kurtis

Wii Sports is one of the most enjoyable Wii games to play.

Tennis

* Keep your wrist relaxed. Raise the Wii-mote into the air to throw the ball to serve . * Swing soon on volleys and ground strokes to hit the ball cross court.

* Swing late on volleys and ground strokes to hit the ball down the line.

Baseball

* Avoid swinging at splitters. Splitters are never a strike.

* If you are a right-handed hitter, the best pitches to hit are a right-handed curve ball or a left-handed screwball. * If you are a left-handed hitter, the best pitches to hit are a left-handed curve ball or a right-handed screwball. * The computer has trouble hitting slow outside pitches, so throw them often.

Bowling

* The ball will curve if you twist the Wii-mote as you are bowling the ball before you let go of the B button.

* You can over spin the ball so try to find just the right amount of spin. * If you do the quarter turn with your wrist, aim at the arrow that is furthest to the right (if you are right handed). Golf

* When putting, the distance your ball travels is proportional to how high you bring the Wii-mote after your back swing.

Boxing

* Use the nunchuck to throw quick jabs to keep your opponent off balance.

If you get the right rhythm down, you can throw jab after jab so that it is almost impossible for your opponent to hit you.

* After landing a jab, throw a hook with the Wii-mote.

* To throw a hook, twist the Wii-mote or nunchuck one quarter turn to the outside (e.g. if the wii-mote is pointed at the ceiling, twist it quickly so it points directly to your right if you are right-handed).

* To throw an uppercut, point the Wii-mote or nunchuck at the screen then flick your wrist upward so the controller points at the ceiling.
