When I think of the Wii, I instantly think of playing this specific game back when I was a kid and still lived at an apartment complex. The complex we lived at was mostly for older folks, so in the lobby, they had a Wii attached to the tv as a way for the older folks to get some exercise. Now, I'm gonna be real here, but none of the older residents I watched play didn't actually stand up, or really do much exercise at all. They mostly just played bowling by swinging the controller beside their wheelchair or chair. I guess you could consider it exercise in the shoulder region, but that was about it that it was used for.... Except it wasn't. Me and my brother hogged the hell outta this console, playing a mixture of all the game modes on Wii Sports. Baseball I remember was so damn fun, I would get home runs nonstop. Boxing was another mode me and my brother played a lot of. I would always try and find a new technique to knock him out, truly pissing my brother off on multiple occasions. Volleyball and Table tennis were also really fun modes, but to be honest, the mode we played the most of was, in fact, bowling. It was a very fun game mode, but I think the reason we played it so often is because if there were older folks out in the lobby, they would A) want to play bowling too or b) not want to watch us play anything else except bowling. This was our dilemma, but it wasn't bad. The oldies would be asleep past 8pm so we could basically do whatever we wanted past then. Wii Sports was abused to the point where to this day, I wouldn't be surprised they still play it. It was a really enjoyable game that was a huge part of my childhood. Probably wouldn't play again, but damn was it fun while it lasted.
