All of Kire's Various Wii Experiences Topic.

Ok, I admit that I was a little harsh on Wii bowling and that it is pretty cool. The reason I might complain a little is because I am a pretty good bowler, and I was hoping that aiming left or right would make it go left or right. The swing seems to only dictate speed and spin, and the AIM is dictated by the arrow.

Now, I finally realized they made it this way for non-bowlers, otherwise there'd be a lot more gutterballs (Madden's kicking proved to me that the AIM function is possible, just left out). I wish you could put on a pro mode er something so that it would take your aim into consideration, because in real bowling, my hand flails out left as I spin it right.

Taking out the aiming was probably a great design move on Nintendo's part because now I can bowl w/ people who aren't so good at bowling. It'd be nice to have the option though.

I've already mentioned the physics are terrible, but I kind of expected that. It is Nintendo after all. Maybe someone will come out w/ a full fledged bowling game.

Just so you guys know, I'm definitely in the Wii60 camp now, as I could never give up the great sound, graphics, and online stuff that the 360 offers. Wii isn't the savior of gaming, but it's definitely a nice addition to what we consider to be the state of games today.

Well you do have to keep in mind, that wii sports is free with the system. So it isn't that bad of a deal.

I am sure they will release more detailed sports games that allow better movement with the wii controller.

and the graphics are a style choice. they're supposed to be un-intimidating and friendly, so anyone can get into it. simpler graphics help people who arent traditionally gamers feel at ease.

I don't there will be any bowling games that work the way you want it to. The gyroscope or whatever in the controller doesn't measure the position of the controller in that regard. Take your remote with you into the kitchen, or the bedroom, or anywhere and bowl as if you were facing the TV. It still registers perfectly. I don't think it can register when you come up and to the left without using the sensor bar as well. So they had to use the tilt instead.

Hey, make time to get Twilight Princess!

Or, if you can, download classics for the Virtual Console.

I think he was saying the gyroscope actually DOES work like that in other games such as Madden, but Nintendo simplified Wii sports so that the direction wouldn't matter, to make it more user-friendly and such.

But I don't even have a Wii, so I could be mistaken.

Re: My little Wii bowling rant

I want to take part in this conversation, but sadly I don't know what exactly is being talked about. I was part of a bowling team once, but I never was able to learn how to put a spin on the ball. All I could do was stand just a bit to the left of the center arrow, and try to throw the ball as straight as I could. All I can really say is, I thought it was possible for the remote to tell where it is in 3D space, including how far from the TV it is, assuming that the programmer programmed it to tell such a distance.

It can. Like how you move the remote closer to make the cursor bigger when your editing photos or zoom in/out by holding it farther/closer to the tv in Red Steel.

Is it just me or will Kire always hate Nintendo?

He is saying he likes the Wii.
