Wii Sports Club - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 

The difference in boxing nearly killed me xD It goes from getting epic slomos and it being a Rocky moment against Matt to... two kindergarteners barely fighting

The dirty patches on the tennis court actually mean it's being used a lot and not that it is "old and abandoned".

Wii Sports Resort forever!

Dang. They REALLY did Boxing dirty.

This has gotta be one of the most confusing releases from the Wii U era. The unorthodox release strategy completely turned me off from it. And despite it being in HD and having more precise controls, it all feels soulless compared to the original (boxing looks plain awful tbh). Good video, mediocre game.

I love how you use metroid fusion music when questioning Matts replacement. Great video dude!

In golf you look down and then after you've swung you look up. That's how you play golf and personally I think it works really well.

Back when I owned a Wii U,I had no clue this existed! I only got Splatoon,Mario Maker,and Yoshis Wooly World.

Honestly I always enjoyed this game, oddity as it is, and I'm realizing that a big part of that is probably that I never played boxing. Holy crap what did they do to Boxing.

Maybe this is the uncommon opinion but I actually really enjoy the golfing in this game and think it's the strongest sport in the pack. I totally understand and see where all your complaints are (especially with the more mute colors), but I really like how similar golfing in the game feels to golfing in real life. Having to look up from the game pad to see the map on the tv is similar to having to look up from your ball to see down the course in real life. Maybe not the greatest game design choices, but I can appreciate what they were going for. Anyways, really great video!

Man i complete disagree with golf being the worst version. I actually think needing to look back in forth between the ball and hole is much more like how you would swing if you are actually playing real life golf.

Hey we still have resort. No game can beat that one.

Boxing in this game honestly looks like something from a Wii Sports ripoff, rather than a remake of the original.

Last year I got a Wii U and I was excited to see that there was a remake of Wii Sports that I never knew about before... and I hated playing it :) but the best part of it was that it made me want to revisit the original, and after that I also finally tried Wii Sports Resort, which is amazing, it instantly became one of my favorite Wii games.

Never in my existence have I ever seen this game until now. I swear, I was the kid who every time my parents took me and my siblings to the mall. I made it a priority that we go to GameStop before we leave. The most I saw were used copies of Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports. Even on the WiiU, I never saw this game being advertised on the store page.

The reason it looks like Wii Sports Club "didn't sell well" is actually because the physical copies were sold in limited numbers and the main way of actually "purchasing" the game was by downloading the free app on the Nintendo eShop and paying a subscription to keep playing the game. That is why the sales numbers were never released.

Loved my WiiU since launch and have Sports Club on a wishlist before eshop goes. Happy to let you know I re-priortised getting Wii Sports Resort used after watching your videos. Missed it back in the day. Might digitally buy 1 or 2 WiiU sports, but I think I've at least got what I need!

The strike logo in bowling looks so much worse than in the original too

I just hope that switch sports isn’t the end for Wii sports, is probably is, but I have hope

i feel like they did bad the series but hope nintendo switch sports is better! i have hope.. love your vids man!

Okay, I know this is *huge* hot take, but I really need to get this off my chest. I love this game. More than either of the two originals in fact. For some reason, I just love the updated graphics and think they look way better than in the original Wii Sports (even golf). I know many people prefer the original game's graphics which is fine, but that's just my opinion. As for gameplay, I will admit that boxing is much more boring, and I hate that you have to put the gamepad on the floor in golf. But tennis is great; it controls way better imo, and I do like the spike mechanic as well. Bowling is fine; imo it's not much different from the original. Again, I like the graphics better in Wii Sports Club (probably because I spent more time playing that game than the original tbh) so I prefer the newer one. As for baseball, oh man. I love the gamepad feature. It gives pitching a whole new dynamic. You have to actually be *good* at hitting in this game by being good at reading pitches which is think is super fun; you can't just swing away at every single pitch expecting to smack homers every time. My brother and I are both really good, and games between us always become pitching battles. I'm a huge MLB fan in real life so I know I'm super biased here, but I will always prefer this game to the original, especially baseball.

The gamepad doesn’t take the fun out of pitching. The Wii remote detected any form of movement as a pitch. All you did as a pitcher in the original was wait for it to be done.

It’s a shame that Nintendo didn’t learn from this and is releasing Nintendo Switch Sports in small chunks. You don’t even get the six advertised sports in the game at launch, but you get a bland and boring soccer mini game instead of actual soccer. And we’re going to have to wait several months just to play golf… Why can’t we just get a full game release at launch? Having a mii option for background characters would also be good.

they completely killed boxing in this one lol

Kid: Mom I want original Wii sports boxing. Mom: We have Wii sports boxing at home. Wii sports boxing at home: 13:01

You jumpscared me by cutting to Nintendo Land footage (it has colors in it)

I didn't even know this game existed. At first I thought this might be a mod, when I saw this video.

7:23 wait that’s illegal

Honestly i had more fun playing the online test on switch sports with the 3 sports more than wii sports club itself. Idk if its just me but tennis feels so clunky for me Maybe its because it desyncs everytime and i have to press down on the dpad.. switch sports is a huge step on a good direction after the mess that club was.. golf and bowling? Yeah controls were fine in club but tennis was the one that turned me against playing club at all. Thankfully i had no issues with the joycons desyncing and had a really good time while playing tennis or chambara while the test was up Bowling? Yeah its fun but i prefer the other 2. Had a really intense tennis match at the last few minutes of day 2 in the test 😅

I had a Wii U and literally did not know this ever existed until right now

I honestly have never heard of this version of Wii Sports until recently.

Pop Pop used to always play both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort back in the day. I remember he asked me if Wii U was worth it. I made the right call to tell him not to buy it. RIP Pop Pop

You make great videos. Good work, you make me relive my favorite childhood memories. Thank you

Your Miis wouldn't even show up in the background of this game like they did in Resort :(

Nintendo Hero your Videos are always amazing!!!!!

Awesome video Nintendo Hero!

I never even heard about wii sports club

give them credit at least they kept the miis.

Club wanted to be the sequel but let’s be honest Resort did that better then club can ever could

I never even knew this game existed-

9:11 "2008" he meant in 2006 right ?

Nostalgia is strong with this one.

I didn’t even know it existed until like 1 year ago and I own a Wii U

I never personally found the game horrible I mean I love trying for the leader boards in the training modes or just playing online and the HD graphics do look good but your right in saying it's not good as a sequel to resort but the wii u is my favorite console so I'm gonna be baised towards it.

Club's boxing mode looks like a 3D animated version of the Wii's version for some movie or something

I just started playing this for the first time. I slice the ball every time in golf, at first horribly but I realized I was swinging too hard. Now, only slightly but pulling off a straight shot seems impossible.

13:46 THEY WHITEWASHED MATT, FUCKING RIP

I literally just bought a Nintendo Wii today. Mainly for the sports games and light gun games. Now come to find out they’re making a switch sports game coming out this month 4/29/22 I didn’t know that at all but hey I wanted an Nintendo Wii anyways no I didn’t know about Wii sports club this is new to me I ended up selling my Wii U because I had nothing for it it was kind of a pointless console.

Just saying, baseball was amazing because you had to actually catch the balls yourself, not just rely on RNG

One of the biggest reasons boxing sucked in this game is prob cuz Nintendo didn’t want to get sued due to ‘REALISTIC’ depiction of violence 😂😂😂

i mean i liked the strategy pitching with the gamepad opened up. maybe try playing it with friends

Maybe you should make a review on Deca Sports. It is something.

Boxing was unplayable on the original Wii Sports because of the incredibly stupid decision to use the nunchuck. That was FIXED in Wii Sports Club, which INSTANTLY makes it the superior version with two wiimotes as Wii Sports should have supported. This reviewer doesn't seem to get that this is SUPPOSED to be a re-release of Wii Sports for the Wii U. That's not a con. And having a proper Wii Motion Plus tennis makes this game a winner in spite of the really dumb decision to ruin baseball and golf with the requirement to use the stupid gamepad. That gamepad KILLED the Wii U.

The only problem i have with the game (even though i cant play it yet) is how would i even play? I have a digital version and as you know they got rid of the eshop purchasing on wii u, so how would i even play?

Well I think The list goes 1 Resort 2Wii sports 3 Switch sports 4 Wii sports club

Rewatching this to calm my expectations. I know Nintendo in the modern age is very capable of disappointing, I know their last swing at a Sports title was a miss, I know they haven't learned from their compartmentalized release tactics. But it's exciting to see them at least try, so whatever happens happens. The last prayer at midnight.

I like the fact that Nintendo bundled Boxing with Baseball. It's like Nintendo knew that Boxing was going to turn out to be a clunker, so they decided to put it with another sport that people would most likely play. Probably the only smart thing they did as far as this game is concerned. What's sad is that I really wanted to like this game, too.

The pass system could have been a good idea, already if the day pass cost much less, but especially by offering either a party for only one sport or for each sport per day, leaving only one trial day was really bad idea that made this a failure. Today buying it dematerialized has no more interest, if not to resell the wiiu later with the game in it, you might as well take a ROM and directly Jailbreak it. I still think it should have been free with the console...

I'd say that every wii sports game but switch sports would relax me minus boxing because i don't mind losing in golf or baseball tennis i just am good at it but it is nice and bowling i like so i think this is a good game even though i have never played it. ( ik i am someone who decides to comment years after but it is now i just thought of this and i have watch this alot)

The Theme song tho is fire

i didn't even know this game existed until today

Just picked up a copy for $2, had no idea it sells for that much

People love to shart on the newest one yet club exist

I’m surprised they didn’t bring back the original Matt

It wasn’t just The WiiU that was a flop, some of the games were failures too specifically this one

i didnt even know this game existed ngl

0:53 you forgot that there was a free digital version that you had to buy a pass for

I love your videos so much! You are so passionate and try not to be biased! Don’t stop posting!!

For some reason I always thought this game looked fake because of how odd it looked

Really hope switch sports is on point and lives up to the hype.

Never even heard of this, played wii sports OG and wii sports resort though!

ONE handed boxing! Are you kidding me Nintendo! Choke!

I literally never heard of this game until now. Although if it was on Wii U that would be why, I never had any interest in that console at all. I thought the tablet thing was supremely stupid, and I'd just buy a handheld if that's what I wanted.

They got rid of the old announcer in Wii Sports club I like the one in resort and sports

Wow I barely played that game and yeah it sucks. Being forced to use a gamepad and also an extra wii remote for boxing. Also in golf being forced to watch the entire replay and can't skip? That sucks

I like the baseball feature. But that’s it

I have wii sports club, I can't figure out how to get higher level opponents

Maybe you should just put it like add an angle where you can see it but focus on Well both of them not having to switch between them because I would agree but it’s enjoyable I guess

It's The Real Wii U Sports!

I would’ve been so happy if they brought this to the switch instead the new one, switch sports is just not it compared to this😢

We can all agree wii sports club is better then switch sports

currently trying to buy this but its 80.00 here min. I do have a Wii u version on console but not physical.

I didn’t know this existed until today 😅 ah that’s why 😅 the Wii U 5.4.23

i played this game a lot. I was so disappointed when my free time to play was up

They should have kept the announcer from wii sports

Golf was goated

My god this game is depressing. At least we can play Wii Sports Resort in HD. But still…

Ngl I didn’t even know wii sports club was a thing.

I really like your review. I didn’t think you would do this review. I really like your review a lot. That was really good.

Fun fact: the Japanese cover for wii sports club has a white gamepad!

You know what this sounds like STAR WARS. Thanks Disney

Never even knew this was a thing

Great video !

1:45 that kid in the clip is literally an npc

You have to pay extra to play simply get original wii sports, no?

Why did the original announcer leave

I did not know this existed
