Wii U Players Can Soon Revisit Wii Sports
Wii Sports was one of the most successful pack-in games of all time, becoming in many ways synonymous with the Wii console. The sports collection introduced players to motion controls, helping the Wii become the phenomenon that it was. Now, Nintendo is releasing HD remasters of the collection for Wii U, in Wii Sports Club.
Wii Sports Club includes HD versions of the original games: baseball, tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing. The additions include extras, too. For example, players set the GamePad on the ground for the golf game, where the ball appears on its screen. When players swing their Wii remote, the ball then appears on the TV screen, as though it had been thwacked with a club. The game also includes online support.
The collection will be available at retail for $39.99 on July 25, and as a download later this month, on June 26.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
