WiiSports Is Still Wii-ly Fun

wii

We've owned a Nintendo Wii for about three weeks now, and we're still loving it.  Just about every day we play WiiSports or WiiPlay.  I'm a big fan of the training exercises, particularly the baseball drill where you face 30 pitches in a row and you see how many you can hit.  I could play that one all night long.

James is pretty good at bowling, but his favourite game is boxing.  I've noticed an improvement in his hand-eye coordination over these past few weeks.  He's making better contact at the plate, getting pretty competitive in tennis and actually hitting home runs in the home run derby.

My only competition thus far has been a five year old and three year old, except for golf which is Taryn's favourite game.  She's never beat me, but she did have a two stroke lead heading into the ninth hole once.

I'd like to try the true baseball for the Wii.  According to this video, it comes with an actual bat.  I've just got to remember to use the wrist guard.
