With only two sports currently available, Wii Sports Club isn’t as robust an experience as it could be, but what is there will still keep players entertained for hours. With the promise of additional sports in the future, there’s a lot of potential for Wii Sports Club, and it’s easily worth a download for anyone who owns a Wii U.
I only bother rating games on Metacritic that I feel deserve that special double-digit score, and Wii Sports Club has earned its place. First of all, it's Wii Sports. EVERY ONE loved Wii Sports! But this game is the culmination of both development experience from the prior titles and embracing technology- it's the PERFECT pick up and play game!
The Golf is by far the shining example **** done right. Not only is the highly skill-based gameplay using Wiimotion Plus technology utilized as was in Wii Sports Resort, the Gamepad is used to display the tee-off area with the ball and club. It helps the player align his/her club to the correct angle before swinging. On top of the original course from Wii Sports, there is a new course inspired from the NES title Golf, which adds quite a bit of flavor and challenge into the mix. I used to spend every weekend playing this game with friends using a projector, but now that there's online integration I can tee off any time with anyone in the world! This is the finest golfing experience I've ever played in a video-game before. Forget Tiger Woods, forget all that other nonsense. Wii Sports Club is where it's at!
The bowling and tennis is nice too. It's like going to the bowling alley from the comfort of your living room. And the best part is the price. For the cost of ONE game of bowling and shoe rental at the alley, you can own this game forever and bowl for the rest of your life right in front of your TV, with anyone in the world. It's an absolute joy to play- I love it!
I truly don't understand the 13+ negative scores for this game, none of which have a written review to explain WHY. I would disregard any and all negative scores for this game, because there are too many Nintendo-hating fanatics that score all their games at 0 to bring down their scores. There is NO WAY this game doesn't deserve a positive review. A mixed review I wouldn't agree with, but at least I could understand. But negative? Clearly there are some that don't want to see any more Wii U games in the green on Metacritic.
Personally, I didn't have a serious, major problem with this game. Yes it does have some online connectivity issues and some lag during matches, but it seemed like a significant improvement over the last Wii Sports game. Playing a specific sport costs 10 dollars to buy to last as long as you want; renting the whole sports package is $1.99 for a 24-hour period. Is it worth the money to pay 50 dollars for all five of the original sports? Probably not, but as a Nintendo and Wii Sports fan, I did have three favourite sports: tennis, bowling, and golf. With three modes the package is $30. Since online would have some cost into the company, I was okay with the price. Wii Sports doesn't have an end with games to come back to and training to do every now and then. What mattered for the review is I had great enjoyment with the new Motion-Plus controls, online matches, Wyoming supporting, Miiverse messages, and the magnificent course designs.
Why did I give this game a 10? First, I had so much fun playing that the errors of the game didn't make me annoyed at all. Second, I feel like the user score average should be higher than a 6.9 because that seems like a D+ grade-wise, and I really don't think this game is bad enough to be in the failing range. Third, this is one of the Nintendo classics being remade into an improved game! It shouldn't be ignored and put in the list of video game disasters. I don't think it is.
To sum up, Wii Sports Club is a great experience to have if you liked the original Wii Sports and want to join in the online community, or if you just want to exercise in the comfort of your own home and play athletic games casually. It's a game worth checking out and or at least renting for the 24-hour period. Support your state (or province) today and battle it out in Wii Sports Club! Thanks for reading.
Choosing between download passes or this compilation is down to individual preferences and budget, but those keen to try all five sports in the most convenient way should certainly consider the disc-based route.
As a golf experience, Wii Sports Club offers one of the most satisfying gameplay to date, thanks to the clever use of the GamePad and the precision of Wii Motion Plus controller. But it's no more the game you can pick and play to have fun with your friends and family, losing all the casual appeal that Wii Sports series had.
Wii Sports Club is going to do well at parties, but the way it's set up will make less suitable for gamers that regularly play sports games. They might enjoy Wii Sports Resorts for longer. The online mode of Wii Sports Club works well though and in combination with the new mini games it's worth trying out.
Wii Sports Club feels a little light on content and isn't quite as accessible as it once was, but it's still a great multiplayer game, whether played online or with friends.
The business model and the online mode are the main new features and, while paying just for the games you're going to play seems fair, the online experience has not been smooth for us.
I enjoy it, its fun for my family and its fun to be able to play this game with friends.
If you like this kind of game then definitely check this one out.
Wii Sports Club is a good game, but I have many gripes about this game. First I will explain what I like about this game. The online is very fun, sure it can take a while to find people due to not many people playing this game, but the online matches I have played are fun and I have had very little issues about it. The UI and menus while bland, are very charming and have great remixes of old Wii Sports themes and great new music as well, the 5 sports are really fun as well. Sure they are just remakes of the original 5 sports from the original game, but it's fine. I think this really underutilized the GamePad though, they just shoved it in when it didn't really need to be added at all. Nintendo Land was able to use the GamePad in unique and creative ways, but this game lacks when it comes to using the GamePad. One of my other gripes about this game is it is a bit too overpriced, I think each sport should be worth 5$ not 10$, and another thing I don't like is the "HD" graphics, sure the target audience might not really care for the graphics, but the game, while it does look decent, it doesn't really deserve to have each sport be 10$, it just doesn't look HD at all it just looks like they used the original Wii Sports textures and just put them in the game, i'm not saying the game looks terrible, i'm just saying it shouldn't have "new HD graphics" be part of the marketing. My conclusion is, this is a good game, but I would rather you just get Nintendo Land because it is the better game, but if you still want to play bowling on your Wii U, you should just get Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort, and if you just want to play online just get Mario Kart 8 because even today the servers for that game is still fairly big even if most people moved on to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
In my opinion. Wii sports Club is a massive step down from the original. The good things about the game are the graphics, which look splendid in HD and the golf sport works perfectly with the extra use of the gamepad and the Wiimote at the same time. However, the major disadvantages are the controls, which are literally broken for most of the sports. Whenever my friend and I play boxing, we find it hilariously horrendous as the controls involving moving the Wii mote and shaking to punch, don't work at all. Sports which involve swinging (e.g. Tennis and baseball), feel so weak and the force is non existent. In My opinion, Wii sports club is not a very good game, I would recommend playing the original Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort as they offer you the same sports, but better and alot more. Unless you are addicted to golf, then you can play this.
This is the worst game to play especially since I see worst functionality then the wii. The baseball is the worst sport especially with its terrible motion censer. I couldn't be a batter because I had to play with my left hand when I chose to be a right handed batter. It constantly changed positions and made me reconnect my controller constantly. I advise not to play baseball and it will make you frustrated.
