![]() ![]() Finally there’s Showdown, a kind of on-rails slash ’em up that sees your Mii taking on a series of enemies in a traditional level structure. The first pits you against another player as you attempt to slice objects apart with slashes in the direction as indicated by on-screen arrows. Mindless waggling doesn’t produce great results, but as long as you play properly, stood up and with proper gestures (as if you were actually holding a sword), the game recognises your actions superbly and there’s a lot of fun to be had.ĭo well in Duel mode and two additional sword mini-games will be unlocked. Your motions are tracked incredibly well, allowing you to slash from all angles, and block incoming attacks while holding down the B trigger. Initially all that’s available here is Duel mode, in which you fight an opponent (computer or fellow human via split-screen) using a wooden sword. First up is Swordplay, which is pretty self explanatory and one of the games that most obviously makes use of Wii MotionPlus. After you’ve parachuted down, it’s time to get stuck into the 12 games on offer, with only Golf and Bowling returning from the original selection of five. The game begins with a brief skydive onto the Wii Sports Resort island, during which you’re moving your Mii as he or she plummets to the ground. ![]() So why should those people care about MotionPlus standard bearer Wii Sports Resort? Are their party nights going to be any better with the addition of Nintendo’s next big thing? For many people the Wii is Wii Sports, so much so that other games might as well not exist. Wii Sports is the very definition of a party game, with the Wii taken out of the cupboard on special occasions just so the entire family of non-gamers can pretend to play tennis, golf, boxing, bowling and baseball. It looks very much like Nintendo's version of Rocket League and not a sport that someone would play on Wii Sports thus losing its unique feel.Making the follow-up to the game that convinced millions to buy a Wii can’t have been easy for Nintendo. The game has a giant soccer ball in a giant field with teams chasing it which already shares similarities to Rocket League, but what really cements this feel is the camera angles and look of the ball. However, one of the new sports, Soccer, looks much more like Rocket League with avatars than a Wii Sports sport. The majority of the sports seem to maintain a similar look and feel to those in Wii Sports. While there is nothing wrong with improving the graphics, part of the Wii Sports charm was the lack of quality graphics. Nintendo Switch Sports is moving away from the drab settings of Wii Sports and replacing them with better-constructed locales. Players turned on these games not to be wowed by the graphics that the Wii could deliver but by the fun motion control mayhem that each sport offered. The graphics of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort were never very advanced, but it made up for it with fun gameplay. ![]() One of the major aspects of Wii Sports was playing as Miis and that aspect has seemingly been moved away from. Mii support still exists in the game, but the focus has been moved to these new avatars, even the Miis look very similar to them. The focus on utilizing Miis to play the various sports has vanished, replaced with avatars that do not look that special or unique, they look more like Xbox Avatars. Nintendo Switch Sports promises to continue the fun of the Wii Sports series, but it seems to have lost the majority of the charm the series is known for. The graphics were lacking, the gameplay was not that advanced, and there just was not much to the game, but it was also charming for it. Each sport was meant as a way to show off what could be done with the motion controls, boxing also showed off the Wii Nunchuck. It was a pretty bare-bones game that was bundled with the Wii and allowed players to play against each other in five different sports. When it was released, Wii Sports was a showcase of the Wii motion controls. ![]()
