Acrylic Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah. I love the Bowling, tennis, and boxing the most. I don't like boxing much. I can't quite get the hang of it. I personally love Tennis. It's my favorite out of all the Wii Sports. Bowling is fun too. I'm sure its even more fun with more than 2 people. And my dad sort of likes it. He lost to all the Wii sports games (We didnt play golf though), except for boxing. He kicked my BUTT. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Whoa. I just had an epiphany. What if I can get my dad into video games (besides Flight Simulator) Through the Wii? ..O...M...G... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I’ve played Golf and Tennis the most. I actually worked into a sweat. But, my friend kicked my ass in Baseball and Bowling. But, I did kick his ass in Tennis. And we equalled out in Golf. But, I wasn’t able to play Boxing with him since I only have a second Wiimote, since all the Nunchuks were sold out.

BongoBob Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Don't play anyone in Boxing. I punched my brother in real life because all he did was machine gun with the Wiimote and Nunchuck...and there wasn't **** I could do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Anyone else notice that in Bowling, the ball tends to roll to the left a lot? It's different for the normal mode and the minigame modes too. In the normal mode, the ball always rolls to the left, and no matter what you do it'll still roll to the left. However, in the minigames, it'll roll to the left, but you can put spin on it to make it roll more to the right. All I know is that it's annoying. X| Otherwise it's pretty fun. Oh, and I got my mom to play tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm guessing your swing must not be perfectly straight, otherwise it wouldn't go to the right. Or perhaps your sensor bar isn't perfectly lined up with your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah, I noticed it did that to me too IG. It might not have been aligned correctly, I didn't check. But I'm gonna try again tonight. The thing is, it wasn't doing it for my little brother. And we were playing two player, I'd go, then him. Although if it's being a dick to you like it was to me, go all the way to the right and roll it. I missed so many from it being an ass, but then I did that and ended up finishing one under him from getting a turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The alignment of the sensorbar has nothing to do with it. Firstly, there have been people who have put their sensor bar beside the TV and gotten the exact same results as people who aligned it to the center of their TV. Just as long as the Wiimote can see the sensorbar, it's all good.Secondly, Wii Sports DOES NOT use the sensorbar in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I meant to imply that the sensor bar might not be installed in a perfectly horizontal position, and not if it was centered with the screen. I'm assuming that since the remote uses the sensor bar to tell it's position in the 3D environment (or the other way around), if it were to be misplaced, it would influence the movements, kinda like when you don't hold you mouse perfectly straight. But since Wii Sports doesn't use the sensor bar, this obviously cannot be the problem. The user's poor dexterity is obviously to blame in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've also noticed in Bowling, when I toss it, it swings to the left, for me. My buddies shots were perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 In bowling, my dad gets his bowling ball rolling to the left too. When I did it, it was perfect. When I tried his controller, and he tried mine, I did it perfectly, and he did bad on mine. I think it's just the user, not the controller, game, or sensor bar to blame. (Off topic...anyone know where I can get a Nintendo Wi-fi USB thing for under $30? I want wireless internet play on the Wii and DS, but I dont want to buy a wireless router) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Bowling ball going to the left for most people? Sounds pretty realistic to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Acrylic, I know the targets around me have them for 40 bucks. You could probably find it online for cheaper, but I dunno. The thing is, before I played my little brother and it started going to the left, it was the first game on Wii Sports, I tried, and it didn't do it then.

IG-64 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ok, obviously, everyone seems to think it's my fault. Let me restate this. In normal non-mini-game bowling, the ball always rolls to the left. It doesn't matter how I throw it, what hand I throw it in, what kind of spin I put on it, how I twist the remote, nothing. Nothing I do will make it roll straight or to the right at all. However, in the training mini-game bowling, it's quite easy to put spin on it and tell it just where to go. There is an obvious discrepancy between the normal and mini-game bowling. [EDIT] I just played a two-player game with me as both players. As player one, I still couldn't make the ball spin to the right, but as player two, I could spin it to the right a few times, though not all the time. Sounds like a bug to me. Lemme go try a four-player game and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 It's not a bug, we've already gotten reports on the net where the same person gets the same results no matter which controller they use... but talking about this reminds me back to the first time I went bowling... I sucked and it's because the ball kept spinning towards the left and I never could figure out why XD EDIT: XD I don't know my left from my right apparantly.

Acrylic Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 link Thanks, but I broke down and bought a Wi-fi USB adapter about a week ago...I couldn't take it anymore. I've yet to try Mario Kart DS, or Animal Crossing (because I don't have any friends with DS's really ) but Wii Shop Channel works well. I've already downloaded Sonic and Ristar.
