Nintendo Wii Fanboy

few times a week, but.... i play everyday so those times are mixed in with warioware and monkeyball too ( and a little zelda on the side)

No!
I played 100% through Zelda, Red Steel, Wario Ware, Raving Rabbits. No I'm playing Splinter Cell. CoD3, NFS:Carbon, Tony Hawk and FarCry are waiting on my shelf for the time after Sam Fisher. For little Fun in between I have Gottlieb Pinnball Classics. The minigame compilations like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Monkeyball are only for multiplayerfun with my friends.

Still playing on a regular basis, my kids and I are die-hard tennis addicts..

Is there really a platinum medal, or is the highest a gold?

Reply

Actually yeah.

I was speaking to a work colleague who asked me if I'd played any more Zelda, because I stopped playing it pretty much at the first temple. I have a few games for the Wii (Excite Truck, Red Steel, Elebits and Zelda) but they're all gathering dust. They all bore me quite frankly, but I think right now I am in a video game slump - nothing interests me right now.

But I will play the odd game of tennis. Now and then. It's great when I just want to throw something around for 10 minutes.

My wife and I bowl at least 3 times a week since Christmas. I still have to make pro in one more sport.

Yes, we're still playing like crazy. I'm playing about an hour a day, trying to go Pro on all sports (I'm Pro in Bowling and at 930 points in Golf, the others I've barely touched).

My roommate still plays about an hour or two a day, trying to pick up a 300 game in Bowling and nail Pro in all sports, too.

I'm really surprised how easily Wii Sports replaced Zelda as the number one Wii game at my house.

Every day. Both workin' on getting my Wii-age down; I'm a 24 year old who runs marathons and is training for an ironman, but can't get my wii-age below 37 - argh! and seeing how high I can get my skill in boxing. Golf is a nice way to relax after work, too.

Since I can't golf outside, I've been playing 3-4 times a week on Wii. My son wants to get Super Slammin golf this weekend. I can't wait til Tiger Woods golf comes out for Wii, whenever that is.

I play Wii Sports every day or so. Topped 2k in tennis so I made another Mii to play in a "more tennis like fahion" instead of a lazy/gamer flick of the wrist manner (and so I wouldn't destroy my "accomplishment").

Wii sports has let me shed 5 pounds since new years (and I was fairly fit to begin with). It's not as crazy fun as it was on day one, but considering I haven't touched a 360 game in over a month I'd say it's the best console gaming dollar you can spend.

Even though work keeps me busy (and away from my Wii), I've started getting up early everyday and getting in a half an hour of Wii Boxing. That guys Wii Sports workout experiment really inspired me, and the best thing is, it doesn't even feel like I'm working out.

i have not played wii sports or any wii game in weeks! i'm simply bored to tears by them now.

Reply

yeah, im still playing sports all the time.

I'm a university student so I don't usually have the time to devote to a game like Zelda (pretty much havent played it since school started up again). Wii sports is great for a quick play. I play it pretty much every day for a little break from studying and what not.

I just got a Hole in One in golf last week while playing golf by myself. Thank the Nintendo message board on the Wii, I can at least show my girlfriend and roomate or they would never believe me.

I do the Wii Fitness almost every day and will usually play a game of baseball or do a little bowling before putting in something else.

Reply

My wife and I just did the first "Wii workout" last night which consisted of about 30 minutes worth of boxing followed by some tennnis and bowling (to cool down). My arms feel good this morning in a no pain no gain kind of way.

I am also playing tennis and bowling on my own to make pro in both (1254 pro in tennis and about 998 in bowling so far). On the weekends I play mostly Zelda and am just made it to the first piece of the mirror.

Red Steel, monkeyball, madden and excite truck are collecting dust but only because zelda has my full interest at this time.

While I don't get to play every night, we are still Bowling like crazy.

The Wii Sports sessions are mixed in with WarioWare. I do get to play alone but either late at night or on Saturday/Sunday afternoon...but that is my Zelda time.

Reply

Yup still playing it b/c I want to get that 20 yr score on the fitness challenge. Ive gotten 22 and that was my closest

Reply

I have to bust it out every day at least to get my Wii Fitness Age. I just got 20 yesterday.

Reply

I have been playing Zelda, but kinda lost some intrest in it due to personal things. But I'm sure to play Wii-Sports atleast once a day.

Got to use Wii-Fitness to build my body. ;)

Reply

Have put Wii Sports on hold for a bit so that I can devote myself to finishing up Zelda. Of course, when company is over we bust out all four controllers.

Reply

It scares me how much my wife loves the golf -- I start to worry if she is going to make us join the country-club crowd in the summer. Yikes! ;-)

My kids are still in to it big time as well and are getting a fair bit of exercise playing it (it seems that kids play the games more physically than they need to, which is great).

Yes there are platinum medals. I have one in the home run challenge. I almost had one in batting practice. I hit 29 out of 30. I thought that might be good enough, but I guess you have to hit all 30.

Reply

Still playing Wii Sports. Gotten into the habit of playing one game of each sport and the fitness test. My fitness age usually ranges from 25-35, although I have managed to get that ever elusive 20. Just happened to get lucky at the what 3 events popped up.

Reply

Yeah, I don't have time during the week for Zelda, so it's perfect for those middle of the week gaming sessions. I'm at 1400 for bowling, and am still trying for that perfect game. I do the fitness age tests whenever I can as well. Going to pick up Wario this weekend, looking forward to some sillyness.

Hell yes.
Even with a few more games in our collection. My wife and I play and whenever anyone comes over to play that's the first one they want to try.
It's also the first one to pop in when we have a Wiirgin over. The next one is usually Trauma Center. Both those games demonstrate the Wii's functionality very well.

Reply

Of course! Wii Sports is still one of the best games on the Wii... and it was free? Weird. When I get some alone time without the fiance I try and get in some Zelda time ;)

Reply

i play it at least 3 times a week!! i hope they make spin off games of wii sports with just a little more control and more options to each sport. they really got it right with the over all game play of wii sports(mainly bowling!) and i wouldn't want them to change too much about the over all feel of the game(s).

The main reason I want a Wii is to get an alternate workout to my biking. I have been unable to get a Wii and I refuse to wait outside a store Saturday night into Sunday morning to get screwed by line-cutters again. When I get my Wii (probably about the time that the Cubs win the World Series next), I will be very active on Wii Sports. It's the only title I am interested in.

Reply

Yes, finally picked up my first and likely last platinum (target practice in Tennis), and now trying to get over 2000 in baseball, with bolwing and golf as relaxation. Still very enjoyable as a time-passer and mild workout.

And maybe a little over halfway into Zelda? Taking my time with it.

I'm still squeezing some more racket joy out of wii-tennis. Having maxed out the CPU opponents, I'm now working on my shot combination.

I've got fade right and topspin down, but still have some work to get my backspin and fade left more consistent. Then there is my spin drop shot from the net which is effective but erratic!

I'm very impressed how much depth there is to what appears to be a very simple tennis game. Also, has anyone else noticed the CPU players sweating if you put them through a long rally. Nice little touch I thought.

Reply

I've gone pro on all 5 sports (baseball and boxing were the hardest for me), but I keep playing to track my Fitness Age. I love finding both my Fitness Age on Wii Sports and then my Brain Age on Brain Age right after, to see how my body and mind compare for the day.

@4... yeah ive got a platinum in "knock millions of pins down bowling"

the one where they add a line each time.
