Ah, thanks.
Feels like it's taking forever when no players are found within the first minute or so.
Didn't get any disconnections yet - hope it stays that way.

Good question.
More sports are definitely coming.
If they stay with just these 5 sports it will look something like: 5 X 9.99 = 49.95 <- Price of full game I guess
Offline. Would likely be impossible to get the 10x deuce online.
In some ways I prefer local play with the CPU simply because you can have some really nice long rallies going on and you have to get some well aimed shots to win.

ill be waiting for the retail package.

Yeah, playing bowling and tennis again made me want to play a new WiiSports. I might pop in Resort to ease my hunger.
So they are super cheater like in wii sports.
Just git em.
Lost 5-7.
Those bitches took 3 consecutive power smash in opposite angles without much troubles.
The only way to win is to use max spin on everything, service included.
Problem is in this version to get the max angle you often incur in a bad shot (then you ll been punished with a power smash),
They may do buy all five together for the price of four like the Streetpass Plaza games.
played 4 matches or so, 2 of them had horrible lag so i had to turn the wii u off twice >.<
the other 2 was perfect. ..I wasn't really a fan of bowling in the orignal wii sports nor am I in this game,..but I did mange to a strike on my first try lol. and it's kind of is fun to play with others. ..I'm not sure what the wii motion + added to bowling ._. Tennis is what I expected it to be, wii motion + did add that 1:1 but it still felt same to me as wii sports. I won the matches where there wasn't lag. but meh, I don't think i'll play this game again unless I wan to impress people who are visiting and it's $1.99 price is perfect for that.
also the miiverse usage kind of sucks.

Beat the two champion girls.
Got the Ace of aces stamp.
My suggestion?
Play to 'not lose', not 'to win'.
They will catch everything so be afraid not to do mistakes instead.
Also services with spin and mixing short and long shots are your friends.
Last but not least don't be afraid to use an high shot to surpass the forward girl or else she will catch almost every shot you throw in the other side.

I find it harder to put spin on the ball in general, but I've never even tried to do it while serving. I did wonder if it were possible.
It's very easy to spin shots ( rotate from low to high).
Services could be done with spin even in the original.
It's useful because it can throw off the opponent timing.

Yeh, I'm not getting as much spin as I'd like (especially forehand). Time to practice I guess!

I feel like it's a lot harder to be consistent in bowling with the Wiimotion Plus than it was in the OG Wii Sports. My wife can score 221 one game, but then 130 the next despite the fact that she does the same shot every single frame. It's the same with me. But in the original, we were able to get 200+ just about every single game.
Try to (forehand):
- hit the ball late so aim for the right side of the court (the later the more effect you get usually).
- start from a -45 grade angle ( with the remote) then then spin to +45 angle. The quicker the more spin you get.

Bowling online is damn fun! Wow

I'll try that, thanks.
As it should be. People figured out ways to flick the wiimote a certain way to get a strike every time. Motion plus eliminates this "cheat" so to speak and makes it more realistic.
I just had a few games with bowling and Tennis.
Bowling:
In one game this guy was doing the slow bowl and was either getting a strike or 1 pin left. It was annoying as hell. When people are actually bowling properly then it is fun and tense but when they are doing that slow bowl crap then I just hate it.
I also hate those people that keeps screwing up their bowls and not letting go of B or too soon. I am not sure if they are doing it on purpose but it is frustrating. You do it three times the ball should just leave your hand for sure.
Tennis:
I just had a tense game of tennis with this guy. We were going back and back constantly until I finally got the win. There are a lot of nuances to tennis now and I can see it will take time to get used to it.
I like the club feature, it is skewed right now but will hopefully straighten itself out as time goes on.

lol it's not an option really, it's just the "play another game against someone else because there's no rematch" button.
Thankfully, you can rematch when playing friends.
Its really fun despite Nintendo's best efforts to screw up everything but the actual game.
For example, there's no way to invite your friends to a game. There's no lobby system. There's no way to actually communicate with the in the game. All you can do it just press the d-pad for some predetermined text.
Worst of all, there's no way to actually quit or back out of an online game. For example if someone dropped or if you accidentally started trying to matchmake a different game type, you literally have to turn your Wii U off and on or just sit around and wait for the game to think you are non responsive and kick you out. You can't access any type of menu system during a game. You can't bring up the Wii U menu in game. You can't access the miiverse in game.
Jesus, I wish Nintendo would just admit they have no idea what they are doing with online stuff and hire some company to help them.
This worries me for Smash Brothers and Mario Kart.

Yep. Same with Tennis. The original controls were much better. Wiimotion+ would be nice if i you hadn´t to recalibrate every round in tennis or every 5 throws in bowling.
Don't worry about Sakurai's game. KIU's multiplayer was GOOD EATS.

Isn't that what Namco is for? They worked on this game.
(And are working on Smash too).
I wouldn't worry about MK at all.

Something must be wrong with your Wiimote, honestly.
The fact that the gamepad doesn't always act like a sensor bar fills me with RAGE.
The gamepad has a sensor bar on it for a wiimote pointing at it as the screen.
But it's not always enabled..for some reason, forcing you to use the sensor bar (which isn't practical for me since I run it on a projector and everything is at the back of the room).

He means it only works when using the Gamepad as the primary screen, i.e. off tv play.
I have a 2MB connection and Mass Effect 3 plays perfectly so not sure why it would lag. Still had fun, was playing with my brother againts two others.That's cool and all...but...it should just be on all the time. Or at least an option.
Have you looked into getting a wireless sensor bar?
Right, and also stuff like the Golf game we're going to get. Where there is a sensor bar for the TV and a sensor bar for the Gamepad. Both are registered, and it knows which one you are pointing at at any given time.

I have 3 remotes with m+. 2 addons and new one. It's always the same. It was even worse in Wii Sports Resort. It's still working but it's loosing it's center quite quickly. Result? Constant recentering with d-pad down. same with Nintendo land.
Won 7-2
Put 'em to shame.
Net code is really bad though.
Had good connection with germany and shitty ones within my own country.
Match that started with four bars, later enda
up with one for then returning to four.
Makes no sense at all.
A damn shame, it's painfull going through a slideshow...

I know it is cool to say things like "Har har Nintendo does not understand the internet"
First things first parents trust Nintendo far more than Sony or Microsoft put together. Nintendo knows there are a lot of kids that play their systems and so they put in designs for this. Yes there are perental controls but that didn't prevent the swapnote incident.
With the issue that they had with swapnote there is a reason there is no voice or typing communication here. Voice will only add more lag to the games and sending text can open up Wii Sports to pedophiles and abusive players especially since this is a sports game. When do you even need to communicate in tennis? between serves?
I like that there is no way to back out of playing online. I hate force quitters with a passion and it hurts the overall community. I also like that you can't pull up menu's and what not. This can lead to people not playing when they have to. When do you have time in Tennis to do anything but play? In bowling there is time between plays but still. I want the game to flow from player to player instead of some person who is on miiverse or internet and not playing. Atleast the wiimote chimes if you are away from the tv to indicate it is your turn but how would that work when you are in a completely different app?
So please stop this Nintendo does not know online crap. They intentionally designed it that way.
MK Wii's online worked surprisingly well, so 8's gotta be even better right?

Exactly. 7 was better with the Community aspect too.
8 will also support sharing of video clips if I recall correctly.
