hope this is as fun as it looks, wanna get this with my wii.

Plumbo
ya, I think these kinds of games could actually get the whole family playing.

koop4
I hope you don't have to stand up to play it though, I like my armchair!

Yasha
I think this is awesome, it'd be nice to get the whole family playing.

Hyrule lord
I think the coolest thing is that the characters in the game will look like you, as shown at the E3 conference.

Epsilon
Methinks this may come with the Wii, if so - :D :D

Narnia Wii
The game will obviously come bundled with the Wii. I mean come on, the game looks interesting and all, but I don't think many people will buy it. The best thing Nintendo could do is include it with the Wii at launch. That way, even if people don't buy any games, they'll will be able to play one (actually at least 4).

aussie
Well at E3 this got "Best Sports Game".

Link
I agree with Narnia, although it was the Best Sports Game and looks like it would be a lot of fun, it's hardly worth it to pay full price. Well i'm sure either way it will be successful.

Jablet
Well I think it'd probably be worth paying for, my guess is it'll be more fun and have a longer lifespan than many full price games.

Koen van Beeck
I may even end up buying this game. Looks like a great multiplayer, at least.

Buggz
I seriously don't think they'll charge full price for Wii Sports, nor will they bundle it with the Wii. I think it'll be a budget game.

Noah of Nintendo Bunker
Looks like a rip-off of backyard baseball.

Someone cooler than you
(kicks NoNB) Minus 15 hit points!

kahfkdahk
Dang, this can actually improve my golf game!

kahfkdahk
Looks like the wii is making games only for athletic gamers.

quartzlcc
Tennis all the way! Whoo-hoo! ^^

????
Go to www.play.com and its 49.99 plus free shipping when the game comes out. They have other good deals there too.

king of the shark's
ARGH Noah of Nintendo Bunker shut the hell up, everyone hates you. This game looks awesome then you show up, damn it just shut up.

ss4luigi12
This is so great and convenient, I plan on playing all of these sports at school this year :) I'll be great! Oh and Noah of the bunker, if the wii has online I'm gonna be looking for you and I'm gonna pwn you good.

Fishmon
I'm getting this no matter what the price is! Oh and hyrule lord I read somewhere that Mr Miyamoto confirmed that there will be a face creator thingy on tennis. Yay! I'm not 100% sure it's true though so don't get your hopes up. They've already confirmed it's going to be released "pre thanksgiving" so I'm gonna buy it, make it look like all my relatives (28 of them) and show it off at thanksgiving. I'll play baseball and golf, but I'm mostly gonna play tennis!

Flamic
Gotta agree with sharks there, if you don't like the Wii get out of here.

king of the shark's
Noah is the video game version of Simon from American Idol.

Fishmon
You don't have to worry koop4. The characters automatically move by themselves. That's good for you but I don't like it.

Atrum
I'm pretty sure this will be bundled with the Wii. Which is good since my list of games I'm getting at launch is huge.

Mario
I'm getting the Wii for christmas.

Someone Cooler Than You
So is everyone else in America, Mario.

jules
Wii is getting more and more exciting!

kiki itachi
"Noah is the video game version of Simon from American Idol" - more like the grinch version!

Killer Ape
I wonder if the airplane is going to be in Wii Sports, I typed in wii sports on youtube and it had an airplane movie.

ganon
Righttt and an aeroplane has what to do with sports exactly?

Luke
This game does look very interesting, my family would probably play this. I will check it out definitely!

TehB0n5lyK1n9
This may be one of the few sports games I actually want to play. It looks fun!

quartzlcc
A good sports game? What?! Will miracles never cease?

wii thing
This is probably going to be the best party game ever.

M!!
The Flight game is actually in this series as well. At E3 I saw Wii Sports: Flight whatever.

Lord Random
The only member of my family that will never play this is my lil bro. He hates Nintendo. He thinks that it's crap because it's innovative. Well, different actually. Oh guess what? He wants a PS3 when it comes out. And what's so great about the PS3? It's got better graphics than PS2 and wireless capabilities, period. I try to explain to him how the Wii will make games easier to play but guess what? He doesn't listen. I'm getting off topic here. Anyway, nifty looking game (Lord PS doesn't care) that should have most of the family playing. Hope it goes well.

jo
[Hits NoNB with hammer, NoNb loses 1000 hp]. Come on Noah of Nintendo Bunker you always make rude comments or say somthing crazy. The game may look dumb to you but it might just be a good game.

marioforever
I'm getting wii for christmas.

p-nut
It will probably come with the wii system.

IM THE NUB
I'm trying to think what sports would be in this game if there are over 30 (rumor). List your thoughts on what games Wii Sports will have. I'll go first, I say running.

Unknown
Basketball, Golf, Baseball, Tennis, Football, I can go on forever.

ganondorfrules
Cricket and plenty more I guess.

Danny D
I would love to see Cricket adapted on to the WII controller. If you are from USA: cricket is the best game ever.

tabsina
There are only 5 sports in this game: Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Boxing and Baseball.

Hey
I want to make a little Mii so he can kick butt at Boxing!

weeman
Hi this looks like it's going to be the best, but I think it will be hard to use the controllers with the 1 in 1 hand and the other in the other hand.

Gam3r_with_revenge
I can finally get my workout with video games!

elephant.stone
This looks amazing. Does anyone know if you can play it online? Looking forward to designing my Mii.

DarkVic
A perfect addition to the Wii console. This is going to be awesome!

Hey
Since the controllers are one handed, you could literally play with yourself. Eww.

Super-Dooper
Good thing it comes with these inside the wii.

FoolKilla
Makes it cost more to pack it in, but they said they wanted anyone to get used to the Wiimote so any age could play further games in days.

joe
I will get it, but I think it would be cool to have a football game in it.

Jake
Isn't this coming out with the Wii? That's what my friend James told me.

honky dog
Noah shut the hell up about games being rip offs. No shit that there would be more than one baseball game. Besides how is it a rip off if in that game you're using an actual bat!

Nintendo iQue
Have you guys seen the videos of people these games? I'm jealous of those people. It looks so fun to play!

Pazzy
Well I've really got no choice in the matter of buying this game because it's bundled with the console. So I'm not too concerned with how it turns out. But having said that, this game will let me see my Mii in action, so I guess I am excited!

Scooby!_Jew
God, Wii just doesn't stop getting better. First they have a console that's as small as 3 stacked DVD cases, then they have a wireless, motion-sensing controller, and now a sports game that comes with the console that you can play like you're actually there. Jebus Rice I can't wait for the Wii!

waiting for wii
I'm looking forward to using mii channel with it.

guy from new zealand
Boxing will be the best, oh my goshness! Just imagine knocking player 2 out that actually looks like your mate!

TheBeast
I didn't know they had boxing!

The wii FANATIC
I'm getting for christmas and the Zelda game looks absolutely minted. Arrow shooting, fights, riding and fishing.

BrothaZ
It's not like you can choose to get it or not, it comes with Wii in USA.

BlablaToast
Is Wii sports coming in a bundle with the console ion Australia? I hope so.

stinky12694
I would get it even if it were not bundled.

Nick
The only place it isn't bundled is Japan I heard.

WWE Fanatic
I hope they make a tennis game other than this. And I don't mean mario tennis. Maybe US Open and Wimbledon kind of game. With Federer in it of course.

floopy doop 2
This game is pretty good. Although the graphics could have been better.

link masta
Yea this does bring the family together. Well at least my family plays with me and they love the game.

u**noe** it
I have this game, I like it. Fun and it comes as a bonus disc with the Wii so that's awesome.

FOX FAN 100
My favorite game is boxing.
