[size=23]Wii Sports[/size]
Posted Image



is a collection of simplified sports games that employs the Wii controller to mimic an action in real life, such as swinging a golf club. Currently, the confirmed sports available in the Wii Sports package include baseball, tennis, bowling, boxing, golf.

Wii Sports will be a launch title for Wii in Japan, and included in-pack in other territories. It is part of an ongoing series of games including Wii Play and Wii Motor Sports. As Wii Sports is part of Nintendo's campaign to target so-called "non-gamers", it will come bundled with the Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, European and US versions of the Wii Console, the first game included with the launch of a Nintendo console since Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It will be available separately in Japan. It also features simplified rules for the sports included, as well as a very bare-bones visual style, in order to emphasize the features of the Wii controller and the unique gameplay it enables.

Baseball in Wii SportsTakashi Tezuka has revealed in interviews that Wii Sports will take advantage of the 'Mii' feature of the Wii to allow players to use their custom made characters in the game.

In an interview with IGN, Katsuya Eguchi mentioned that he is experimenting with using the WiiConnect24 feature of the Wii console. He mentioned, "We are planning on having, maybe through the WiiConnect24, a leader board that will be posted online. Maybe for a Home Run Derby or Most Wins in Tennis."


[size=7]Games[/size]
During E3 2006, the tentatively planned control methods for the various games in this title were revealed:

Wii Tennis - In Wii Tennis, the character automatically moves to where the ball will land. The player then has to use the correct slice and swing to hit the ball. Nintendo states that the remote is sensitive enough to make it possible to add spin to the ball. Players grab the controller like a racket and swing; the game will register forehands, backhands, volleys, lobs, slices, spin, and power depending on how fast the user swings and at what angle. Multiplayer with up to 4 players is supported. Posted Image

Wii Baseball - The character stands at home plate, and is required to hit a ball thrown by a computer pitcher. Players grip the controller like a bat and swat fastballs out of the park in a home run derby, but it is up to the player to use the correct timing and positioning to hit the ball. Again, Nintendo has indicated that specials such as spin will be possible. In the two player game, one player pitches and the other bats. Posted Image

Golf in Wii Sports
Wii Golf - In Wii Golf, the controlled character always faces towards the hole, requiring the player only to choose the appropriate strength with which to swing. After each swing, the player moves to the ball's new location and swings again. The faster players swing the controller, the further the ball will fly. Putting requires more delicacy and may involve lining up the actual putt. Nine of the eighteen holes from Golf are included.
Two additional games were revealed during the September 14, 2006 Nintendo event: Posted Image

Wii Boxing - This is the only confirmed Wii Sports title to use both the controller and the nunchuk attachment. The player holds one in each hand, then jabs to punch. Raising both hands (controllers) blocks punches from the opponent. Two players can compete on a split-screen view. In a recent screenshot on Ign, a health circle is displayed next to the boxers.

Bowling in Wii Sports
Wii Bowling - In Wii Bowling, the player presses the B button, swings the controller backward, and then pushes it forward, releasing the B button to roll the ball, similar to the motion required for golf. Spin can be put on the ball by tilting the controller on release. So far, the angle of releasing the ball must be adjusted before release. There is also some concern of the easiness of getting strikes and despite Nintendo getting word of this, the problem doesn't seem like it's fixed still. Many easter eggs exist in this game including the ball bouncing if the player delays his/her release, making the ball fall back towards the crowd and bowling off onto another lane. Nintendo has stated that the physics will behave exactly the same if the player throws the ball exactly the same way. Posted Image

i got some cheats for wii sports

:D
Change bowling ball colour.

As The screen is fading to black for bowling, hold down the control pad until it fades to bowling for these colours:

Control Pad Up = Blue Ball
Control Pad Right = Gold Ball
Control Pad Down = Green Ball
Control Pad Left = Red Ball

Special Bowling Ball

Get to pro level to unlock a bowling ball with diamond designs on it.

Change the tennis court

To change the tennis court to the blue practice court, press and hold (2) at the warning screen that shows after selecting characters.

91 Pin Strike in Power Bowling Training

To get an automatic 91 pin strike in the last round of Power Bowling, Throw the ball on the right or left rail (depending on if you are right or left handed) so that it stays on it the whole time. If it reaches the end without falling off, you will hear a "click" and an explosion. Then all the pins will fall down from the shockwave. NOTE: This only works on the last round.

Silver Boxing Gloves

After you've beaten the Grand Champion, Matt, in a boxing match you'll be able to wear silver boxing gloves. To do so, hold (1) when the screen becomes black before a boxing match.
