Wii Sports

By Stephen Totilo Dead Space Extraction was developed by EA's Visceral Games and published by EA for the Wii on September 29. Retails for $49.99 USD. Played through the campaign on "hard" using Wii Remote and Nunchuk (Zapper mode also available). Tried Remote-only second-player co-op. Played a challenge lev...

Hands On Reviews of Battlefield 1943, including lots of gameplay footage and commentary. Also a review of the full version of Wii Sports Resort, which unfortunately isn’t as good as we hoped. Plus Rob gets yet another lesson in San Francisco parking procedures.

By Brad Moon Aidan and Jon had been happily playing for an hour or so before I wandered down to the playroom to take one of them on. Not wanting to get thoroughly thrashed, I flipped open the instruction booklet first and had to do a double-take. 2K supports such a wide range of controller options (Wii Remot...

By Paul Govan Image: Family Gamer I’ve not given up on Tiger Woods Wii and that full golf calendar, but having played Wii-Sports Resort Golf it is going to be difficult to go back to it even with it’s similarly realistic swing and ability to apply spin.

By Mike Fahey With a dozen sports and a total of two dozen ways to play them, Wii Sports Resort packs in the play with mostly fun games. You'd think that Wii Sports and Wii Play would have exhausted the minigame catalog for the Wii, but these mostly new games are a worthwhile addition to anyone's Wii. Even wit...

By Matt Blum It’s all right to admit it: You’ve had fun playing Wii Sports. The simple repetitive play is way more enjoyable than you’d ever expect it to be, particularly if you’re playing it with kids. The new Wii Sports Resort has a similar feel, only with more sports, better graphics and long-term play...

By Brian Crecente First there was Wii Sports and then came Wii Play, which sweetened the deal with a free remote. Now we have Wii Sports Resort which comes with a whole new technology and a chance to play Swordplay, Wakeboarding, Archery, Frisbee, Basketball, Power Cruising, Cycling Golf, Table Tennis, Bo...

The only change in this new Wii version is the addition of motion-sensitive controls that see players swinging their Wii Remote like a tennis racquet. Unlike the tennis game in Wii Sports, players also control their character around the court using the ...

All Wii owners by default already own and have likely played Wii Sports Tennis which EA Sports' Grand Slam Tennis on the surface is not too much of a departure from. The game plays top to the bottom with your player's on-screen movements handled ...

The Wii Remote/Nunchuk combo works pretty well, too; the shaking of the Wii Remotes feels natural, and isn'ta tiring work-out experience like the boxing found in Wii Sports. Regardless of which you use, the controls are precise, and react quickly and ...

By Luke Plunkett According to GamePlan Insights' own polling data - which reportedly canvasses "1,000 gamers on a weekly basis" - MadWorld wasn't the most-anticipated Wii game on the horizon. It was the 41st, behind a string of "casual, music and puzzle" games like Wii Sports Resort and Trivial Pursuit.

Punch-Out!! will be developed by Next Level Games, the team who worked on Mario Strikers Charged Football, and features all the old favourite boxers, including Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, and Little Mac. The game will also support both motion controls (like Wii Sports Boxing) and NES-style c...

You're better off going back to Wii Sports Tennis. Wii Sports is cursed. As much as Nintendo loves their all-time best-seller, it's sure making it hard to issue standalone sports games. Mario Super Sluggers struck out, and the company hasn't even said ...

By tips@infendo.com “The casual players are killing video games.” This is the worst of the bunch. How? How are they killing video games? Casual gamers are providing Nintendo and other companies money to put toward other quality games. Yeah, that’s an “awful” thing.

By tips@infendo.com According to a July 2006 analysis by IGN’s Matt Casamassina, a pair of alkaline batteries powers a Wii Remote for 30 hours of gameplay with pointer use and 60 hours without it. Consider that the system’s Zelda launch title Twilight Princess spans between 40 and 50 hours of gameplay, and the...

By Mark Wilson When I tested the Wii MotionPlus attachment at E3, I felt that Nintendo had fulfilled the promise of the Wii, finally offering a motion controller as accurate and responsive as we'd all hoped the Wiimote to be originally. If Nintendo can coax developers to support Wii Motion Plus, we can ex...

By Iria So, Shigeru Miyamoto somehow found himself interested in yoga one day and that’s partly where the idea for Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board was born. In a similar fashion as Wii Sports, Wii Fit is being marketed as a fun way to play games and to keep in shape. Does it live up to this promise? Well,...

By Michael McWhertor Nintendo is hoping that "blue ocean" lightning strikes thrice with the October 20th release of Wii Music in North America, the rhythm game that, according to the company, "builds on that inclusive legacy" of Wii Sports and Wii Fit and translates into runaway sales.

Filed under: Reviews The team behind the Wii version of Top Spin 3 was not exactly working in an enviable position. It seems a little funny to call a pack-in game a juggernaut, but that's exactly what Wii Sports is, and any game that sets out to deliver a realistic sports experience to Wii owne...

Nintendo is actually asking you to pay a chunk of money to use a device that won't help you shed excess body mass.  This thing will end up in the closet of forgotten games in LESS THAN A MONTH. Think back to when WII SPORTS, was hot on the market and everyone claimed they were losing pounds and inch...

By Susan Arendt When people tell me that the Wii is destined to fail because of the disparity between first party and third party games, I am reminded of my mom, who has no idea who makes  Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart, and couldn't possibly care less.

By David Hinkle Filed under: Nintendo Wii Welcome to mid-week, where the Wii reigns supreme and Wii Fanboy hijacks a little space on Joystiq to spread our propaganda. Do not believe the lies of the Sony and Microsoft camps, there is only one true answer to all of your gaming needs: the Wii.

Wii Play This is controller+game pack which is only R100 more than a standard Wii remote and offers some great mini-games for the price, so it hardly seems worthwhile buying a controller on its own instead of this pack. The best of the mini games are Shooting Range, where you aim at targets on...

By asleepintheclouds The controls are average, you use the single wii remote and steer it left or right. It takes some getting used to if you’re used to racing games on more common remotes (such as Xbox, which was what I was more familiar with), but once you get the hang of it, it’s quite fun to move the remote to steer....

The Wii's real innovation has less to do with the Wiimote than the ideas and concepts behind it. It has made everyone stop and think about what you 'need' in order to have a succesful platform. Nintendo's focus is very different than MS and Sony, they look at a game console as a way to sell softwa...

By Brian Szabelski The fact that the Wii has been getting so many ports has been a sore spot for many Wii owners, even though games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Battalion Wars 2, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are set to come out in the next few months. However, not every port is cause for conce...

By Tony Carnevale The easy games, like Wii Sports Bowling, let the most feeble grandma instantly taste sweet victory. But the player's actions don't seem to have that much impact on the results. Swing the remote more-or-less the right way, and you're almost guaranteed a strike.

By Matt Paprocki The trick system is the second victim, this succumbing to the Wii Remote. Flailing the controller in the air is enough to produce results, eliminating the need to focus on what tricks you’re doing to keep things fresh. In its PS2 incarnations, the four shoulder buttons were combined in a man...

By Brian Szabelski As the premier snowboarding series in video games, EA's SSX franchise is known for massive air, unique characters, and a fun presentation. The newest game in line is SSX Blur for the Nintendo Wii, and while it's not perfect, it's a fun ride.

By Matt Paprocki The obvious draw here is the control scheme. It’s obvious the development team have finely tuned the simplicity while keeping the features intact. The basics are as expected. Hold Wii Remote like a golf club, hold B, perform a backswing, and then swing forward. Assuming all goes well, the bal...

After each creating a Mii and scouring the Wii menu thoroughly, which is very easy to navigate and comes complete with very chilled music by the way, we decided to give Wii Sports a go. Now is the time for me to return to the one Wii Remote part. This could be problematic, so just try and be adult ab...

By Mark Wilson Smooth Moves is the latest installment in the Warioware franchise of micro-gaming, and the first for the Nintendo Wii. Only one question comes to mind after an absolutely thrilling intro like that: "Is this game the best thing evar?" Hint: you get to pick your nose.

By Mark Wilson Gameplay/Control For gamers, Zelda will probably be number one...for people who are new to this industry, or who used to play and have left...I think Wii Sports is going to be the big draw," Perris says. I know what she means, and it comes down to the complexity of controls.
