It's just an updated/polished game. Wii sports made a great profit so doesn't matter if this version doesn't sell more copies. It's also too expensive just for the HD, the online and the motion plus controls for a 7 years old game that almost every body had for free

Who cares about Wii Sports Club? Just proof that Nintendo doesn't have to put every game in physical form. (NES Remix)

Yeah, I feel like they really wasted their time with Wii Sports Club! It flopped and it didn't help the WiiU at all ( not that it had any chance of helping the system)..

I honestly don' think Nintendo expected much. This was more of a fan service. The genre is dead all together. Look at Kinect sports series.

In terms of sales it did bad, but if we are talking about the quality of the game, then its one of the biggest success stories of the gen. One of the best games ive ever played.

Nintendo will bundle it with a Wii U and Pikmin 3 this Holiday season.

Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Not going to vote, as the one posting this poll doesn't seem to get the Wii Sports Club business model at all.

If you measure the magnitude of the "bomb" by the decline from its predecessor, yeah, sure.

If you measure it by the size of the lost investment, I should think not. That would be a game that cost a tremendous amount to make and failed to break even. I doubt Wii Sports Club meets those requirements.

The bomb of the generation, by that definition, will probably result in a studio or publisher collapsing.
