The Nintendo Game Console is Great for Sports Games

I will be discussing my top 10 favorite sports games for the Nintendo Wii. I love the Wii because I can play the sports games, as if I am playing real sports. I stand up and swing a tennis racket as if I am swing a real tennis racket. When I box, I stand and throw a real punch at my oppenent. The sports simulation continues, with almost every other sports game.
The Nintendo Game Console is an excellent game console to play sports games. It is an exciting way to play sports, especially when the weather is so inclement. There are so many sport games to play. I will try and keep it down to ten sports games.

If you are interested in sports games, rent them first. I find that this is the best way to find out whether you will like the video game.

I rented a Baseball game, and found out that it was too arcade-like for me. I would have been ticked off if I had paid $49.00 for the sports game. If you are serious about playing video games, rent them first.


Gamefly has saved me a lot of money when it comes to renting games. Check out my Gamefly Rental Lens.

Here in the North East, much of our weather is inclimate, but there is a way to keep on top of your game. All that someone has to do, is come up with a longer controller, not much longer but enough to put two hands on it - ie, for the baseball bat, the golf club, etc and this game system will almost be perfect

Wii Sports - This is the First Game We Received. 

Wii Sports came with our Nintendo Wii Console. It comes with Boxing, Tennis, Bowling, Golf and Baseball. While the graphics are not the best, it is still a lot of fun. I play all the games, and spend a lot of time with it.
I use the Boxing in my fitness regime I can work up a good sweat with this game. If you do not have it, get it. It is one of the best all around game packs.

Tiger Woods Golf 

Tiger Woods Golf - the Ultimate Golf Game

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 for the wii is the ultimate golf simulation game. As you play a variety of courses against some of golfs greatest players, you think to yourself, I can play this game forever and not get tired.

You progress through the game
One of the problems that I have when I drive, is pulling up at the end of the swing and hitting the ball with less power than I should. I am working through this. It is too bad that I cannot currently get out onto the links (1 1/2 feet of snow) to see how well my game has improved. I am sure that I will never tire of this game, as long as I play golf. Tiger Woods Golf is an excellent game for the golfer, it will help every aspect of your game, I am sure.

One of the reasons that this game is better for the golfer, than Super Swing Golf, is because when you draw your club back you do not have to stop it at the top of your swing. You bring back the club, swing the club and follow through just like you were truly golfing.

I love this game. I wish I had more time to play it. In this hole I managed a birdie. Believe me this does not happen very often.

Combine Shaun White Snowboarding and the Wii Fit Balance Board and You Have A Dynamite Combination 

This is a great Game for Everybody!

This is an exciting game that fully utilizes the Wii Fit balance board. It is an excellent game, and I have put up a lens at Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip where I discuss this exciting game. If you like Nintendo Wii Sports games pay it a visit. ,

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip 

This is a great game, especially when you utilize the Wii Fit Balance Board.

One of My Favorite Sports, is Wii Ski.  

This game is great. I love it. It uses the Wii Balance Board, so you stand on the board and move your body from side to side as you go down the slopes. While I have tried the other segments of the game, racing down the slopes is my cup of tea. This is a must have game if you like skiing.

Hey I am skiing 

This game utilizes the Wii Fit Balance Board, and is a gas. You can ski at any time of the day or night, I love it. I can ski while you are driving to the slopes. This game is great

Stretch and Loosen Up Before you Play Sports on the Nintendo Wii 

You should treat sports on the Wii the same way that you play in real life

That's right. According to a letter to the The New England Journal of Medicine it details the first documented case of acute "Wiiitis". Apparently, people do not realize that they making the same motions that real people do when they play the real game and are starting to suffer from "simulated wii injuries" as well. So, before you play any of the Wii sports games, you should also do what people in the real world of sports do, and stretch and limber up those limbs! I know that sounds like the onset of exercising, but if you don't want to be another hospital statistic, limber up!

Aerobics with the Wii 

Cardio Exercise is one of the Best Ways to get Your Heart Going

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle - for the Nintendo Wii is one of the great games to burn off calories, especially if you play one of the higher levels, and it is fun! It has a calorie counter for burning off those calories, and it tells you when you have reached your limit, so you can quit or continue to play. During those tediously cold winter days, I would rather play this game to burn off some calories, then ride my bike through 6 inches of snow. This game is an excellent way to burn off some calories and get some exercise! If you have an obese child or two, this is the game for you.

Oh, remember to stretch before you start to play, because chances are, you will continue to play after you have reached you calorie burn off rate.

Active Life: Outdoor Challenge 

This game is a favorite in my family. There are games for everybody, You can see a full discussion of this game over at my lens Active Life:Ourdoor . I use this game along with Wii Fit for exercising.

The Nintendo Wii is the only Game Console I like. 

Improve your sports! Watch your Golf game reach new standards. Even Fishing gets better. Why spend all that money on the Driving Range. The Nintendo Wii is a great sports Simulation gaming system! It is great for your improving your golf, baseball, fishing, etc.
You can even use it for aerobics. While the original sports package is good, there are now lots of third party sports to help you improve your sports.

I am not a gamer, I very seldom played video games before, because they bored me. I preferred to play real tennis, or real golf or real fishing - but these games are great. I have to use real life experiences to work through the games, ie I have to grip and swing my remote like I would a real golf club. No other game allows this.
After trying PC golf games, Play Station, X-Box games, I couldn't see the logic in playing them - they weren't going to help me improve my game, so why bother. I didn't enjoy sitting on a couch twiddling my thumbs. Now, I get at least an hour of golfing in a every other day.
I was excited about getting the Nintendo Wii, I thought of all the sporting stuff I could do with it! But lo and behold, I could never get close to it for the first few months, the three kids were obsessed with it.
Ok, now after Christmas 2007 I had to put down a claim on the Wii at 10:00 every night. It seems to be working out all right. I do use the Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle almost everyday, while the kids are at school to burn off some calories.
It all started so innocently one afternoon, as I noticed that there was nobody on the Wii. I got my step-son to set up the Super Swing Golf game for me, and he walked me through the game. I started to play and I was hooked. Finally a golf S game where I could actually stand like I was golfing! I could actually check my stance, bring the controller back as if I was swinging a club, it was great! While I can hold the controller as if I was holding a real golf club, I am sure that someone with bigger hands, would find the controller next to impossible to hold like a golf club.
The Wii Sports package, while the graphics are wanting, the tennis game is adequate for a real tennis game. I am sure that a 3rd party Video game company will more then improve on the graphics, but for now it is adequate for simulating a tennis match. Visit my Nintendo Wii Estore for some great ideas.
The Wii Sports package baseball is not too bad, it is still better than sitting on your butt and moving the little knobby until you are ready to swing and move the little knobby to get the right power behind the ball. You can actually stand if you are going to swing, move your feet and legs as if you are going to swing and get an idea what the ball will be doing if and when you hit the ball.
Tennis is one of my favorite sports, and this game is good for this, it will show me what will happen if I swing the racket to early or too late. It is as good or better than hitting the ball against the wall.
As we all know the <Nintendo Wii Game System is an excellent gaming system, and the games are a great way for families to get together and spend quality time with each other! Ok, I am over 40 years old and I have never been a gamer. I argue with my step-son about playing real sports and playing them on a game console. I now have to eat my words. With many sports you can use the nintendo wii as a substitute, while I prefer the real sport, often in the North East it is often hard, if not impossible to play any games outdoors - like golf, tennis, baseball, etc. Right now I am madly looking for sports games to play over these cold bitter winters.

Hooked an Excellent fishing Game 

This will help you fine tune your fishing.

This is an excellent game for fine tuning your bass fishing. I can play this game for hours. Wii Hooked! Real Motion Fishing w/controller starts with a minimal amount of lures, and you have to make do with this until you can afford to purchase other lures. You can fish any time of the year and as we all know, each season presents us with different challenges. You can throw the line in four different casts, I am sure that you can be more imaginative, but for the purpose of this review I will stick with the four casts that they cover in the tutorial. You can make the lure move erratically, which we all know is important for bass fishing! This is a great game and is worth the money. Wii Hooked! Real Motion Fishing w/controller is well worth the price for bass fishing during those slow times of the year. This game is great for the bass fisherman, you can simulate the real experience of fishing for bass. I have read reviews for this game, many people who purchase this game know nothing about fishing, and therefore don't like the game. People who know how to fish, and purchase this game love it. It has many environments - lodge with piers, reeds (my favourite), dam, and more to practise your fishing. There is also a tournament aspect for fishing. This is great because it adds a competitive edge to the game - now you have people to out fish, and isn't this what it is all about? The only people who are not competitive are the fisherman that has the least amount of fish?

Is Fishing Really A Sport? 

No, it is really a recreational activity, but I love fishing. Hooked allows me to fish and I enjoy it to. Check out my video on Hooked.

Super Swing Golf 

This isn't a bad Golf Game

Super Swing Golf is not that bad of a golf simulation game. You have to maintain a regular golf stance in this game. One of the problems that I have when driving a real golf ball is pulling up at the end of my swing and watching a ball go 150 or so yards as I slice it. This game helps me to watch each part of swing, - my stance and my shoulders, and I can proceed to pull the golf club back to start my swing. This is the only complaint I have about the game. You have to stop at the top of your swing to make sure that you have enough power to swing the golf club. There is no fluid swing - but it does allow you to make sure that when you have pulled the golf club back that your elbow are all right, that your shoulders are in the correct position, that your stance and knees are still ok, and then you can come down for the swing.

This game is a fun golf game, it does not have the same precision that Tiger Woods Golf does. It has more interesting golf courses, and you can do more interesting things with the golf ball. You constantly have to think of the results of each swing, which can really be a mind bender. While Tiger Woods game is laden with traditional golf courses requiring a traditional golfers mind set, Super Swing Golf requires you use a different approach. This golf game, while you can have fun with it, it does have some draw backs, if you are looking to improve your game - the biggest one is the stopping at the top of your swing - the swing should be fluid.

    hoohoo, I'm also a person don't like playing games on the computer. I also like real tennis, real fishing, real padel raquets. But the games you're introducing is very interesting. They can be kind of great training material. The creator must be very familiar with these knds of sports. I haven't play wii, would like to have a try when get a chance.
