Hmmm. I think the Wii jokes in this video were a bit too basic. I can dig this all the same, just wasn't particularly impressed. But to be honest, I haven't been particularly impressed by the recent Wii games either, so as an actual review instead of a humorous video it might as well be very accurate and appropriate. I wouldn't know, I don't have the game in question and I doubt I will buy it either.

I loved it when you directly assaulted a game's flaws, but only saying "good things" about it made the show so much funnier.

I hate the wii and all it represents god bless you dude. Its a squel whore of a console and simpley for the familys and casual gamers. Get an 360 or PS3 if you want a gaming console or do one better and buy a good pc. And the Wii Fit gah... I say no more.

p.s In hateful irony i work in a computer games store and have to sell it to retards... i'm not sure if its wrong but i am always torn between taking stupid people's money or handing out worst gimick toy ever.

Hahahahahahaha! I damn near wet myself laughing at this ep. Reminded me of the old mailbag showdown episode. Any chance we're getting for another one of those in the near future, Yahtzee?

meh, I'm not a big fan of the Wii but it does have a few good games and I really liked Wii bowling. it's fun. the yatz just doesn't make me laff as much as he once did. but i too think it's weird that they have dog fighting in it.

When he said "Wii Cycling," it sounded like a kid with a speech impediment trying to say 'recycling.' I got a kick out of it.

I knew it would turn out like this, Wii resort I mean. There really isn't that much to it to even make a review on the blasted game! It's mainly just there to keep the casual audience thrilled and use the controller in new annoying ways.

I love the new term 'Wii hate', I think it's perfectly understandable hate after you see the shelves filled with shallow games like this. Anyway great review again Yahtzee.

I've always thought that the Wii motion controls were never more immersive than a controller with buttons since the first Wii sports.

Very funny review as well.

Honestly I own a wii and I can just thank god that I had enough money to get another console.
I do most my gaming on the pc anyhow which trumps all your consoles, you can flame me now because deep down inside you know it's true and just can't deal with it.

The only way a motion control could be as immersive as the Wii promises to be is that they abandon the nonimposing austerity of the bland Wiimote and instead have every game with an accessory that is made specifically and entirely for that game, not unlike GH/RB controllers. Otherwise it's just half an attempt that promises more and gives less.

Well done, Sir, well done. Albeit, I'm still curious if you'll step up to the plate and play Conduit, because it looked (surprisingly) well done, yes, even for one of those ironic "hardcore Wii games".

With the first Wii Sports, I found that in tennis; flailing wildly to Pro is your best option. Bowling; you better pray to whatever god you believe in to give you some divine power to get those damned stubborn pins down. Baseball; [insert rant here]. Golf; the controls are a bit too touchy, so you don't get the real "golf" feeling, but once you get used to them it's just like real golf... especially when the damned ball flits around the cup just barely and you throw a raging tantrum.

No, Wii isn't a perfect system by far. Yes, it's mostly a casual gaming system. I "own" my friend's Wii because he's too lazy to take it back to his house, and only ever plays it when his friends are over anyway, and that's exactly why the Wii "fails" in so many people's opinions. Honestly, Wii isn't failing at all, it's just a different type of system (like a DDR machine), and every hardcore gamer has popped up to say "OMFG IT SUXX" because it's not all pretty graphics and using your thumbs for everything.

Personally, I like the Wii quite a bit because, hey, it actually gives gamers a reason to get together aside from those LAN parties. Also, it's bringing in casual gamers, and truth be told it's making it so people are less picked on for enjoying vid'ja games. As much as the hardcore gamer deep down inside me wants to throttle Nintendo for not making a system like the N64 was, and keeping up the inevitable "Sony vs Nintendo" war, I can't bring myself to hate them. It's like Yahtzee said a little while ago, "I guess it's better to be the king of idiot land than to try and continue the epic struggle to please one's fanbase."

Wii Sports 2 might be more casual hoopla, but hey, at least it's pretty fun casual hoopla.
