Ubisoft gets into the Wii sports racket with Racquet Sports

Hey, at least their studio isn't closing...

It may not be glamorous work, but it's a good foot in the door and it pays.

Here's hoping they get a chance to prove themselves worthy soon enough though.

tmac, you really don't have any idea how the videogame industry and its respective development companies work, do you?


lol... forced to make this shit

The scariest thing is: What if this IS what they dreamed of making???


..... actually, I'm more curious if it's actually a fun game. All other complaints disappear if it's fun.

You need a doctor to take a look at that.....

We already have it. GC revamp. $30. GET IT!

I would like to see a new Mario Tennis game with motion plus, too. Also, a new motion plus Mario Golf would be nice. Might as well put them on same disc at a reduced price since we're dreaming, haha.

Bad thing is to my fiancé would look at this as 5 games for ONLY $30.

Hey, so long as your fiance isn't using your money to by this tripe, you don't lose anything.
You just gain a coffee coaster.

It's always my money. Thankfully many other games on her list of things she wants to play trumps this one.

Your fiancé is going to want this even more when she finds out that it uses the camera from Your Shape that you just bought her... with your money...

Isn't that like calling all first person shooters the same game? Run, point gun at enemy, pull trigger, repeat.

Five variations on racket based games doesn't sound too bad. And Motion Plus use is a good thing.

Five variations is a step backward. Video Olympics for the Atari VCS had 50 variations of Pong. What's Ubisoft's next game, Spacewar with only one ship?

They wouldn't be doing this shit if it didn't sell.
But sadly, it really well and truly sells...just like every Wii Sports and Wii Play imitator out there.

HAHAHAHA....no. There is no "online".

In fact I know plenty of people that would have never touched a video game controller if it wasn't for Wii Sports.

Wii sports has variety though. Like Protonx said, practically the same 5 games. To me that is only rental worthy.

Yeah, but Wii sports gets constantly bashed too

Oh. Well I for one love Wii sports. Especially the bowling training where they keep adding rows of pins. Power throw training I believe.

Either an illiterate 12 year old or you're on crack!

I found your post hard to understand. Where I did understand it made a bit of sense but just seemed like rambling.

Because the spelling is so bad? Just a guess.....................

Um, if Ubisoft killed all their Imagine, Petz, tennis games etc then the next Prince of Persia would probably have to have stickman graphics, because Ubi's profits would be in the toilet.

Yeah really, I sold my NES as soon as Silver Surfer was released...good riddance. There were just so many terrible games on that system.

I had to pawn my 360 when Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust came out, too.

I understand where you're coming from about the Wii - there's nothing wrong with your opinion, but your reasoning is still bollocks. Sorry.

The problem with the Wii is not too much shovelware; they could double shovelware releases and it wouldn't matter one bit. The problem is not enough good games.

Personally I don't need to play that many games so I'm fine with it, but for people who want more game, Wii is not a good 'only console'; buy one of the others and keep your Wii around for the occasional quality games, like various Nintendo releases (this year Sports Resort was good, for instance, and a lot of people really rate NSMB) plus the odd quality third-party game (recently, the new Silent Hill looks great and Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles was also good).

And of course if you're short of cash or wanting to declutter and you know you're not enough of a fanatic that you MUST HAVE the next Zelda or Mario Galaxy, then selling it might well make sense for you.

So like I said, I understand where you're coming from, but the reason is definitely not shovelware. Imagine - and this is going to be a stretch worse than Ubi's games, but bear with me - that Wii had exclusives on all the big recent games (Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age, etc)... but there were also four times as many shovelware releases. In that situation, would you have sold your Wii? Yeah - no.
