Topic: With all the Wii U ports we have been getting it's amazing how Wii Sports Club hasn't been re-released

I think it would be awesome to have Wii Sports Club on the Switch. It was a great re-release of the original Wii Sports remastered in HD for the Wii U, but they kind messed up on the way they sold it by trying to offer these passes that you could buy that would allow you to play the game for a day or a week or something like that. It was a terrible way to sell the game, but luckily they also let you just buy the games so you could have access to them however long you like. I think if they port this they should just scrap that old pass feature and just sell it with all the games included for about $20 - $40, personally I think it would be perfect as a $20 download title but I also know Nintendo.

This is rich. First you're ranting against people asking for ports, and then you start this topic?

@Whitewatermoose I am sure they could get the games to work well with the joycons.

@JayJ switch sports would be great but I preferred the passes. It was great when you just wanted to play for a bit

@1UP_MARIO Wow surprised you actually liked that distribution method, it would have been my biggest complaint if there wasn't a way around it. I would much rather just not have to worry about that and play the game whenever.

@JayJ I mean I have it for the Wii and played it to death on the system and still have it. Everyone must still have it. Wii u edition didn’t sell much and the passes made sense of a way to get anyone who has a Wii u to try it. I must of tried it 5-6 times.

@1UP_MARIO The FTP version of Wii Sports Club came first, then after all 5 sports were available they had a physical version.

@Grumblevolcano yeah. I doubt most people knew there was a physical copy. I know I didn’t

@1UP_MARIO I think it didn't do well on the Wii U for the same reason that most things didn't do well on the Wii U. That console had a very limited audience, and it also was focused on far more of a largely hardcore audience than the Wii and Switch. Those consoles have successfully attracted a rather large casual following which is exactly the kind of audience that would go crazy for this.

@JayJ you could be right and there would be a audience. Even 1-2 switch sold over 1 million

@Whitewatermoose Actually the joy con are more accurate than Wii remotes in motion control, so it could potentially be even better.

I would play a switch sports to death though. We played so much Wii sports and I tried some of club but was put off by the subscription, so I would love a full HD game on switch. Plus it could be a comeback for miis as only three games use them on switch so far

@JayJ
I want to play Boxing on Switch Sports or whatever it called, but the way to play Boxing on that game should be like K-1 Grand Prix PS2 or ARMS that we can freely move and hit our opponent + using Super Power.
I don't want Punch Out clones that we cannot move freely.

@Whitewatermoose : The Joy-Con are even more accurate than the Wii Motion Plus. In fact, they are such an improvement that they don't even require calibration every couple of minutes like the Motion Plus games. You mustn't have used them much to think that they are less accurate than Wii Remotes (which only supports motion as opposed to the 360 degree motion of the MotionPlus and Joy-Con). 1-2 Switch and Super Mario Party are great examples of just how good and seamless these controllers are.

I've been yearning for a successor to Wii Sports and Wii Fit since the announcement of the Switch. I would absolutely grab both on day one. Golf, Bowling, and Tennis was brilliantly refined in Wii Sports Club. I would love to see the Resort activities make a return as well.

Wii Sports Club was great, but handled really, really badly by Nintendo. The F2P delivery of it was great for those only interested in a specific sport, but they really should have released the digital and physical versions simultaneously as it caused a lot of confusion as indicated in this very thread.

@Whitewatermoose The motion controls for Mario Tennis were pretty bad and gimmicky on the Wii as well.

All in all, Nintendo really should be releasing just a couple casual games to bring in a new Wii generation of casual gamers if that makes any sense...
It's one of two things that Nintendo can do to rapidly increase sales
The other would be to position it as a personal device instead of family, so that each household would have multiple units. I know that if they did that my family would buy 2 more

@toiletduck LOL! Yeah, the port begging needs to stop, eh?

OnT: Sure, bring it! The more games, the better, be it new games or ports.

@JayJ You know you don’t have to create a thread for every idea you have. Such examples of questionable threads include: We seriously need folders, Does anyone feel the eShop is like the App Store, Do you think SMO was developed as a Wii U game, I think the thumbs down button was a mistake, this thread, The port-begging needs to stop, etc.

@GyroZeppeli How about you worry less about the fact that I have things that I want to say.

JayJ

JayJ

@MasterJay Yeah that is why I think this would be a great idea for Nintendo all around. They could really use a new release of Wii Sports on a modern console that the casual audience actually wants to buy.
