Review: NHL 2K10 Brings Hockey Realism to The Wii

27 Sep 2009 17:00:23 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Wii Sports Resort Makes Golfing Real Again

24 Aug 2009 06:00:48 PDT

Written 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.

Frankenreview: Wii Sports Resort [Round Up]

30 Jul 2009 12:20:00 PDT

Written 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...

Review: Wii Sports Resort Is Loads of Fun, to Be Precise

26 Jul 2009 17:30:45 PDT

Written 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...

Grand Slam Tennis Wii Review

14 Jun 2009 11:07:53 PDT

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 ...

Opinion: A Reminder Of How Small A Group "We, Gamers" Are [Wii]

29 Apr 2009 02:00:00 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: Mom and the Wii: A Love Story

15 Apr 2008 14:43:13 PDT

Written 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. In fact, the only Nintendo game besides Wii Sports to spar...

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...

Opinion: Digs Wii, Xbox 360 "Collecting Dust," No PS3

29 Oct 2007 00:34:21 PDT

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...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

Written 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...

Nintendo Wii Review: The Bigs

17 Jul 2007 21:52:54 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
While it's arcade style baseball, there’s unquestionably more depth and skill required compared to Wii Sports. Expected motions to pitching and batting are logical. Response to the players' movements are spot on, and adds the extra boost the Wii version needs to one up its competition on...

Nintendo Wii Review: SSX Blur

26 Mar 2007 10:56:25 PDT

Written 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...

Wii Review: Tiger Woods 07

Written 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...
