Thanks, will try.
It's crazy how Wii Tennis lags while , for example, Mario Kart 7 (in another room from where the router and Wii U are) just play fine online...

Playing Tennis online is so much fun. I've played a few matches and it was pretty good for the most part. It only got laggy when I was playing against someone from Peru.
Yeah, it was me. You were a pretty good opponent.
The press release says it will just be the original five.Tennis is gonna take some getting used to for me. Bowling is my favorite. First time doing 100 pin I got two strikes in a row and botched up the third for a turkey.I wonder if they are going for a Wii Sport Plus package or just the original pack in title wii sports set. I would like to see archery and Frisbee make a come back.

So are there community groups/clubs for this like in Wii Fit U?

Downloaded this just to find out it requires Wii Motion Plus. Wasted my 24 hour trial I guess. Lame.

Servers are probably hammered? Taking a while on my end as well, about an hour altogether.

I played 3 Tennis matches and they were hard, yet fun.
The first one had no connection issues, the second one had a bit of lag, but no problem, and the third one was horrible throughout the whole game.
Bowling on the other hand had great connection throughout.
Still fun to play!

So you can't even play online with friends from other regions?

My experiences so far:
The good:
Online is a godsend for this game.
Tennis is awesome with a human opponent.
Graphics are.. ok.
The bad:
No proper communication.
Way too many textboxes.
Bland midi music. The original was way better.
The old wiimotes felt more acurate in tennis. Heck whenever i use a motion+ remote if feels buggy as fuck. In every game. Not just sports club.
The worst:
No Video chat in Bowling!
No teams against teams in online bowling! Come on! This is a no brainer!

Played two tennis matches (won both handily), and a 4-player bowling game (got lucky and won with a 180). No lag, quite fun! Wish the baseline shots in tennis were a bit more accurate; also wish there was a pro mode with nunchuck movement. Team Michigan!
I'm liking the bowling so far. So many strike. I'm messed up with tennis :lol
I think you can. Anyone tried this?

I've only just started, but so far I'm really not overly impressed. It feels a lot like the same game, with online features tacked on. I haven't tried the online stuff yet, but I'm not typically that fond of competitive online games in general. Also my club (North Carolina) says it only has 8 members for Tennis and 5 for Bowling, and it seems like there should have been an option for custom clubs so we could have a GAF club, etc.
The Wii Remote still seems to drift off center often like in Wii Sports Resort so I was constantly recalibrating.
Top all this off with the fact that Wii Sports Resort has a lot more games and can be played in off-TV mode (even if that seems a little ridiculous for this particular game, but I've used it) and I'm not quite as sold as I was before.
I'll give it a little more time and try out some of the new modes.

So people like Tennis? I was already 100% down for Bowling but wasn't gonna bother with Tennis as I didn't think much of the Wii original.
Its possible because I play Mario Tennis so much that ruined me for other Tennis games.

I have the same issue and it's super-annoying. Somehow it happens even more often in the duck training mini-game. >.<
Also online seems quite deserted. Can't find people anymore for 100-pin bowling, it's just past midnight in Europe

I need to work on my serve. I can't seem to get the fast serve all the time like I used to.

It took me a little while but I warmed up to this.
Bowling feels more fleshed out than Tennis just because there's so many modes and so many game types can be played online. I like that the new sets of stamps are relatively "hardcore" not simply easy cheevos to throw at people for basic gameplay.
I think I'm opposite most feelings about online bowling as I don't mind taking time when it's not my turn. It is something to actually get a drink, maybe some peanuts, and sit down to enjoy taking your time for a night of bowling. You've got plenty of time to relax such between your turns.
No voice chat is either/or for me, but I think maybe they should have had some kind of real time chat window open on the wii U pad for bowling, a group chat for the players. There's plenty of time to type stuff up between turns.
I got a terrible tennis connection to a guy in Mexico I think and when Tennis lags, it is horrifying. After that I tried another 8 games and it went pretty well. Played someone on the west coast (I'm on the east) and while there was a touch of lag it was still strategically playable.

that's pretty much the only thing I can do consistently :lol
high-five, buddy
I also don't not understand any complaints about slow play in four-player bowling. It seems perfectly acceptable to me. I watch most people take their shot and try to learn what works best. Sometimes I even get annoyed when people press A to skip their own replay, because I want to see it again. It doesn't take that long. Society really is doomed if this is a problem.

Yeah you can unlock a sport permanently for $10. You do get to try the sports for free for 24 hours from the time you launch the game. Day passes are good if it's something you'll only play on occasion and don't want to shell out the $50 for all 5 sports when they're out.
Yeah I only played a bit of bowling but I did pretty awful. The worst part is I got absolutely destroyed by my father >_< He never beats me THAT badly in anything we play, but I could just not get any sort of rhythm going at all. I used to be great with putting spin on the ball, but not doing so well so far.
Online was very good. I played 7 matches or so. 6 went flawlessly. 1 had some people from Mexico playing and it lagged so bad it kicked us out. The transitions between matches was great. They don't want you to stop playing. Ran into a lot of couples which was funny because the girlfriend in all of the matches made easy slip ups, including mine. Also ran into what seemed to be young kids who just sucked completely.
Game was awesome though. Quality online tennis game. Will definitely buy this one when the trial expires.

WHO DARES FACE ME.
My first game of bowling solo I bowled a 203 and got the Pro Bowler and No Pin Standing stamps. I'm not doing anything fancy though, just aiming slightly off-center to compensate for my natural spin.
It feels pretty much exactly like Wii Sports Resort bowling to me, but I'll probably buy it just because it's fun, HD, digital, and I might play some online games here and there.
Still gotta give some more time to tennis. I never played much of it on Wii and I'm just pretty terrible at it atm. Maybe with practice it'll be more fun.

If you press the home wiimote button and then return back it always needs to recalibrate, why?

How do you change Mii's in game?
My daughter and I are playing 1 on 1 matches vs people online and we have to turn the game off everytime to switch Mii's..
Like log out to the first Wii U boot up screen and select My Mii or hers then load up the game.
Are we doing something wrong? Where can i quickly switch Mii's within the game?

Awesome! My first night I had some connection issues, but when playing I didn't have much lag. I'm level 3 on tennis (2-0) and level 2 on bowling (1-0). I think this game is gonna be crack going straight into my veins, as long as the connecting doesn't aggravate me.
