Bowling can have all 10 rounds but you deprive me of a full, motion controlled and simulated baseball experience? For shame, Nintendo. While the core mechanics of this baseball game are sound, it bothered me so much that you played just three innings. Still, the game isn’t terrible and honestly the resounding thumps of the punching sounds are super satisfying when you’re in the zone and feeling it. Not only that, but making your character transparent in an attempt to make it almost-but-not-quite first person didn’t really work for me either, as a more normal, fixed camera behind a shoulder might have worked better. It was always the game on the disk that I played the least with friends and family. Not only that, the boxing game just always felt… the least fun of the core five Wii Sports games. Whenever I played, I always swayed too often to the right or left in a movement that felt out of my control, making my character’s giant head oscillate wildly and making it very difficult to land my punches or time my blocks. Here are the sports of Wii Sports ranked from worst to first.įor the most part, I feel as if Wii Sports got the motion controls pretty spot on… except for boxing. So, in honor of the Wii and Wii Sports - which Nintendo should bring back in some form, whether that be porting the original to the Switch or making a new one - how about we do a fun ranking of the sports in the game? For brevity’s sake, I’m sticking with the original Wii Sports here, but maybe in the future I’ll revisit this down the line for the popular sequel Wii Sports Resort. And what a game it was! Not only did it show off the motion sensor hardware that became a staple of the Wii’s lifetime, it also made for an incredibly fun time whether you were playing by yourself or were competing with friends and family.

It was a simpler time back in the mid-2000s, though much like the Switch when it first launched, the Wii was just as hard to get for the modern household.īut if you owned a Wii, you also owned a copy of Wii Sports, Nintendo’s motion controlled sports simulator that was bundled with every console.
