Realease Date: July 17, 2014 (Japan)

Retail Price: 3,700 yen (about $36 or 26)

The game has technically been released a few months back, but for seperate purchases for $10 each on the eShop. The orginal Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort sold tremendously well bundled with the Wii, but can Wii Sports Club bring back a small fraction of the long gone casual gamers if bundled with the Wii U worldwide?

Are they going to bundle some motion controllers with that as well? Personally i don't see people picking that up if they already own or have owned a Wii, definitely not with the Wii-U current price tag.

Wii Sports Club is not the answer. If that's Nintendo only hope then they already doomed.



Absolutely not.

Nintendo has a Gamecube problem. They tried to create gimmick that they risked on the non-gaming audience and it failed. Getting their attention is always a risk. Real gamers are the only thing thats going to save their sales numbers this gen just like the Gamecube and the N64.



It could help, if they bundle it with a white Wii U worldwide, just like they did in Japan, so they can use consumer confusion to their advantage, and finally begin to kill the Wii. But aside from the first 2 weeks or something, Wii U should return to somewhere around the usual, but hopefully beating the Vita in the weeklys. But I do not think that Wii Sports Club has the power to "save" the Wii U.

I tried Wii Sports Club yesterday for the first time since Golf came out, it SUCKED! Nowhere near the precision of Wii Sports Resort! The remote always tries to screw the ball to the right, even if I try to force it to the left! Have tried with several different remotes and recalibrated a lot of times.

To check if it really was Wii Sports Club's fault, I booted up Resort, synced the same remotes, and I didn't have the problem!

There is a serious bug in Club.



Yep.
