Later on, the Mii’s start walking around and wear different clothes, which makes this feat somewhat more difficult, though not more fun.Ĭharge is equally uninspired.
Inspired by Where’s Waldo, it’s all about pointing at similar Mii’s or odd-one-outs. You spend most of the time waiting for a fish to bite, after which a simple upward motion of the remote gets the job done. Each type of fish gives you a certain number of points when caught, and you’re basically competing against time to get as many points as possible. Here you move a fishing rod in hopes of catching weird-looking fish that swim around in a small pond. As a result, there’s little subtlety and almost no variety to be found in Table Tennis.įishing suffers from the same problem. Moving the paddle with the pointer is the only control available, and even though the duel gradually increases in intensity, thus requiring quicker reactions from the player, the gameplay never deviates from these simple actions. You can’t even control your shots, since hitting the ball is done automatically as long as your cursor is positioned at the right spot. Your objective is to direct a bat by pointing with the remote to keep the rally going. The main culprit is the extreme level of simplicity of the mini-games. This feat is handled much better in a game like Wii Sports, which you probably already own. While not exactly stooping to Banana Blitz’s levels, they all fail in showing off the exciting potential of the kind of gaming experiences that the Wii Remote can offer.
Surely these mini-games are worth this low price point, right? Well actually, most of them are not. Since Wii Play is a compilation of nine mini-games, you basically end up paying a little more than one dollar per mini-game. You can either buy the standalone version for 40$ or get Wii Play, which comes bundled with a remote, for ten bucks more.
If you’re looking for a Wii Remote, you have a couple of options come February 15.
