![]() Imagine NBA Jam, but 15 years later and less enjoyable. The 3-point contest is better than the pickup games, but the shot timing is awkward and unresponsive at times. I admire the attempt, but the end result is disappointing. Unfortunately, it’s really not. Basketball is a tough game to code - I mean, 2K still struggles with basic mechanics in 2020 - and the result is a clunky, unrealistic experience. ![]() Much like baseball in Wii Sports, I really wanted basketball to be good. I’m convinced the only reason Frisbee is even in the game is so Nintendo could advertise a full dozen sports, because no one could possibly be interested in standing still and throwing a virtual Frisbee over and over again. The Frisbee dog game was enjoyable only because there was a cute dog in it, and if you want to do an 18-hole golf course, just do the regular golf minigame. If Frisbee was never included in the game, it would lose absolutely nothing besides an adorable puppy. Just, like, find a dog in real life.Ĭanoeing is fun in kind of an infuriatingly frustrating way, but it’s easily the worst water sport in the game. If you play alone, you’re suddenly aware of your complete and utter loneliness, paddling along in a virtual canoe. If you play with friends, you can all pack into a single canoe and are forced to work cooperatively. Sometimes yelling at friends is fun, but canoeing is definitely capable of tearing friend groups apart. Avoid at all costs. I would literally give anything to play wii sports resort right now So without further ado, here’s the definitive ranking, from worst to best: One year later, I’ve decided to attempt an even more ambitious feat: To rank the sports of Wii Sports Resort. Since there are a whopping 12 different sports, and people probably aren’t interested in a 3000-word column about a video game from 2009, I’ll try to keep it brief. I’ll also be excluding golf and bowling, given that they were also included in Wii Sports. ![]() ![]() Photo courtesy of Baron Valium via FlickrĪlmost exactly one year ago, I published perhaps the most controversial column I’ve ever composed: Ranking the sports of Wii Sports. If you’re wondering, my thoughts haven’t changed - tennis is still the best, boxing remains horrendous. Andrew Morrison has Air Sports as the best of the bunch of different sports in the game. ![]()
