Wii Sports Club Retail Version Hits North America on 25th July

Wondering if NoA will be offering some sort of promotion for those who have purchased all 3 so far?

And it'll probably be $20.00 in 2 months.

Finally I can buy this along with Wii Fit U!!

Planning on getting this when it's cheaper. I can go out to Bargain Hunt and get Wii Sports for $5.

I already have Bowling, I will wait till I can get it for less than $20 on Amazon Warehouse Deals.

Well, I already paid for bowling, so I'm thinking I'll just wait until later in June and download the rest.

I'm going to get the retail version seeing as I took the sensible approach and waited. I've never been too terribly excited about these games anyway, but they are an essential for family gaming!

I'm getting this. Glad I only paid for Tennis.
Now give us a retail release for NES Remix!

Again, glad that I held off on getting any sport. I will get this disc version. The physical version comes later, but it has the benefit of being cheaper.

I hope there is a trial when the sports are available for download.

Glad to see Reggie finally woke up from his west coast slumber. Maybe he's suffering from too much 2nd hand smoke of the recently legalized kind.

Good call on the "gut feel" price cut @ThomasBW84

$40 doesn't' seem too bad considering the "free" online. $249 Wii U bundle for the holidays and we can find out for certain if the casuals are ever coming back. I still think for $249 w/ online bowling they will. Not everybody in those old age homes owns smartphones.

Awwwww... 40$. Good for those who waited for the physical copy.

Now waiting for Nintendo to announce buy 3 and get 2 for free if you buy on eshop. (I wish)

@Heiki Seconded!

I consider my 32 GB precious space, and am always going to pick the physical copy over the digital. If they flatly declared "no physical for NES remixs" then I would go ahead and buy them digitally.

I'd be inclined to buy the disc if it came with a free Wiimote but it might be best to go digital if there's a promotion for people who already bought a game....

I might have to buy this! I bough the bowling version, digital... but have waited on buying the others for some reason. Now I know!.

If this retail version comes to Europe for €40, I'm not buying. I refuse to pay that much for something that was initially only a showcase tech-demo with online thrown in. The highest I'll purchase this for is €30, not one cent more.

I'll be downloading Baseball and Boxing to complete my collection!

......................................... FLAT!

E10+????? The ESRB is quickly becoming the MPAA.....

For the first 3 sports, it's only 1gig download FYI.

And I will finally be buying this. Love me my physical releases. And cheaper than digital! Awesomeness.

@freaksloan
Same here.

I think I will get it....if not at launch once I see it on sale.

I always felt the digital prices were way too high.

@Maelstrom doubt it. Ninty rarely does price cuts on retail releases.

Well I already purchased three of them... so no physical for me. Like others have mentioned, hopefully Nintendo offers some kind of promotion. Own 4 get the 5th free or something along those lines.

Boxing and Baseball are the only other two I am interested in, and in the long run I would rather have them available at the push of a button than to have to go swap out discs.

Now if they would just fix the stupid Nintendo account system to not lock things on a console...

@Gerbwmu So, Buy 4 get one free?

Tennis and baseball are the only games I ever really liked in wii sports, so I might pick up the baseball download eventually.

@Maelstrom Used maybe, but Nintendo doesn't play that game. Especially in as short as 2 months.

I think I might go for this. Decent price point.

@rjejr: Yes, we are all stuck in the haze of second hand smoke here in the home of Nintendo. Afterall, it's not called the Evergreen State for nothing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm hungry and need to find something to eat.

@MinecraftGreek - or maybe buy all 5 digitally and get some additional DLC. Maybe a choice of VC titles. Maybe a pound of gold

Welcome news, as it more or less assures that I'll eventually own these games at one point or another. I would love to see this prompt a sale or reduced price in the digital versions, however; this feels like a game that belongs "in" the console, accessible any time. A physical release costing more than a digital download just doesn't make sense.

@faint @aaronsullivan Stores routinely run sales and specials on games. I'd count on this being discounted during the holiday season at the latest.

I am looking forward to the physical release of this, but what I really want to see are some mario sports games. I want mario strikers, golf, and tennis for the wii u to all come out next year.

Definitely getting this I saw this coming so its a good thing I waited

Now put NES REMIX 1+2 on retail.

The only game that I disliked in the original for Wii was golf. This will be the version I'll be getting once I get a U.

Assuming Nintendo does that free pass thing with these two, I'll try them out. I'm not too sure I'd get them as I really didn't like baseball or boxing on the Wii.

I honestly hated both Golf and Tennis. I feel like since your swinging direction matters in both Baseball and Boxing I'm going to hate them too. I'm really confused on if people actually like Wii Sports Club or not. I think the controls, except for Bowling, were terrible.

They should've added more mini-games like in Sports Resort.Or just do a sequel to that.The island would look beautiful with the new graphics.

I've been waiting for these as well. Golf is the only one that had no appeal so I was glad for the piecemeal offering. I hope this doesn't mean that's it for Sports Club as I was hoping to see Sports Resorts games make an appearance too - all the Nintendo sports games under one roof!

I'm presuming that Boxing is the reason that this is rated E10+, but that's still asinine.

Sweet. I'd rather have a retail copy of all the games, so I'll definately pick this one up at some point.

I don't think I'll be able to hold out for the retail copy, though that's an attractive box, gotta say. This will give me a reason to return to the Tennis courts and finally get that elusive 10* rating... so close!

When available I buy the retail copy .... great cover art .... yes, I would buy it day one.

So mad I already bought Tennis, as I would have preferred the retail version. Guess I'll just get Boxing unless they offer us an equal deal like buy 4 get 1 free on the eShop.

This is why I'm glad I never bought any of the sports! I'll definitely get the retail version.

@Ryno - Can you pick u some Carl's Jr. for Reggie and make sure he gets to E3 on time? At the rate he's been going lately he'll be a day or 2 late for sure.

It would be cool if all of the sports could be used with the gamepad. Or just release a new Mario Tennis, that would be cool too.

Great news! I've been waiting for this to be released...don't feel like paying $10 or so for every sport. Also, I noticed it's E10+ and not E like the original. I wonder why. Maybe boxing is more graphic now?

That's not far off, no preorder page up at Amazon yet though...

Nintendo should've had this game available at the Wii U's launch.

So glad I hadn't bought any of these yet after demoing. It'll probably come down from $39.99 too, or at least be apart of occasional sales. Count me in.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!!! Friggin YES!

$40 is a good price, which means $31.99 through Best Buy GCU. Excuse me while I go pre order...

I see what you're selling Nintendo, but WHY? NO really, WHY?

@Sean_Aaron Golf is fun, even if you don't like golf (like me). It's worth a look for sure.

the golf is absolutely amazing, the only ones who don't seem to like it are the people who don't take the time to get the hang of it... it takes a minute to get a feel for the controls, but once you do it becomes extremely addictive...

And to not screw over the players who have purchased the first three titles digitally SOME kind of discount on the final two would be swell.

I seek the beard of the golden goat.

@Ryno - Just for you

Today's Target Wii/Wii U allotment:

2 Wii Mini MKWii bundles on the top shelf
3 Wii U NSMBU bundles under those on the bottom shelf
2 Wii U MK8 bundles prominently displayed on the main aisle w/ the $329 price underneath

Best Nintendo related part of the trip - new 3DS $5 GC pre-order cards for SSB w/ the "Summer 2014" listing on display w/ a picture of the characters. The old cards said "2014" and were boring white.

Sorry no photo of the new ones, Google came up empty, but they really stood out among all the dark green Xbox cards.

@rjejr: Haha... Thanks for the update man!

time for wii sports to show the world that it's more than just a pack in game. This game has got me thinking about buying wiiU remotes

These were my favorite 2 games so I will be getting them
