Wii Sports?
Anyone who has played wii sports knows two things. The first is that the boxing is a joke and the second is that the tennis is really fun. So today I am going to be talking about the latter, Wii tennis.
Wii Tennis. What a fun yet simple game. When I first played it, I thought it was quite boring and more could be accomplished with random wiimote swings than actual well-timed swings. So I will just go over the basic tricks and tips.
First off the power serve. To do this serve you need to hit the ball at the peak of its height. Just practice a few times and you will get your timing down and be able to do it every time.
Nonreturnable return. When someone gives you a slow serve, return it slightly sooner so it goes cross court and hits the alley. Your opponent will not be able to return it.
Power return. Simply flick your wrist while keeping it mostly level and your return will be low and fast.
Lob. Swing the wiimote up like you would do to lob in real tennis. Lobs are good for hitting the ball to the opponents back line man where you can then return his hit with your frontline man and hopefully angle it out of his reach.
Back or For spin. roll your wrist up or down as you hit your shot.
Left and right spin. Twist your wrist left or right as you hit your shot.
General tip. When you are playing, try and return all your opponent’s hits with your front line man. Try and return them to the outside until you draw his man out then switch to inside and go for the kill.
Cheat: to play on the blue court, hold the 1 and 2 buttons before the teams are shown.
