Wii Sports bowling "power throws" perfected

by Kyle Orland { Feb 12th 2007 at 11:15AM }

Just a few short days after we posted our challenge for video evidence of a perfect 890 in the Wii Sports bowling "power throws" mini-game, video evidence of the feat has surfaced courtesy of Joystiq reader Koz. Not content to just show off his skills, Koz has also written out the method that led to his perfect run in scientific detail over on the WiiModWii forums. Apparently, imported Belgian beers and a "vocabulary of thousands of cuss words to scream in anger" are the keys to success.

Congratulations, Koz (if that is your real name ... which we're pretty sure it isn't). Your T-shirt is on the way.

[Update: The original post mistakenly credited tipster el moco instead of video-maker Koz.]

Holy shit, that's amazing

Now if we can find someone to do with WITHOUT using the easter egg at the end then we'll have a real story.

good job actually watching the video Myke. The picture shows the easter egg, the video doesn't use it.

amazing++

I'll have newfound persistence to try to match that now hehe.

Myke @ Feb 12th 2007 11:35AM

Ah, I'm at work and the vids don't access. So why in the hell does the picture show the easter egg but the vid doesnt? did he do it twice?

aC @ Feb 12th 2007 11:37AM

Yeah Myke I didn't used to have youtube at work, but all of a sudden it works.

Not sure about the pic, maybe he did do it twice (once with the egg).

I was also interested by the fact that he used the exact same spot. I would always try to come in at a sharper angle from my throwing side to hit the pocket better, but I guess that's just not necessary. Definitely something I'll try now.

He did do it twice, people kept bothering him that it was fake, so he did it again and filmed it, but the second time he didn't use the easter egg. You can read this at the topic quoted.

Absolutely incredible.

Note to myself: Must try harder as sub-500 isn't good enough.

i can't believe he went through all of that again just to get a video of it. i mean i'm sure it didn't take half the 600 times it did the first time, but still.
the internet is like a damn elementry school play ground, everyones just looking to whine about things not being fair, and cry when people are better.
