A portion of Nintendo Life's review of Wii Sports Club:
"The most important change with this new iteration is the adoption of Wii MotionPlus controls, with the more accurate controller being mandatory to play. The greater sensitivity and range of strokes is applied reasonably well, with lob shots, top-spin and back-spin applied along with greater control over direction. The new move-set is undoubtedly challenging to master, though that's to be expected, and moments where we felt the input and response weren't a match were — in hindsight — mostly down to our own sloppy swings. A forceful swing (remember that wrist-strap, for the sake of your TV screen) will actually register with a more powerful hit, for example, so waggling your way to victory is off the cards."
Nintendo could be sitting on a gold mine with a past favorite.
Because we all miss accidentally throwing our Wiimotes at the TV, so let's throw some Joy-Cons.
I was always confused by Nintendo’s decision to kill the franchise. “Super” stayed with Mario titles even after the Super Nintendo. They can still use the Wii name. Hell it’s been so long that releasing a new one, or even an HD remaster, will tap into that nostalgia market.
Super was never because of the Super Nintendo. Super Mario Bros launched on the NES. The Super is because it's an indirect sequel to Mario Bros.
They can just call it Nintendo Sports or something, but using the Wii name would be a bit confusing.
Yeah i agree but i don't think Nintendo will be bringing wii sports to the Nintendo Switch samething goes for diddykong racing
Some of the best Wii U games have yet to be ported to Switch, so GCP have come up with their top 10 Wii U ports they want to see still come to Nintendo Switch.
Agreed. There are so many good games I'd love to see, especially the Mario Galaxy games.

Xenoblade X, Star Fox Zero, and Super Mario 3D World/Maker are the best bets IMO.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions,Xenoblade X and The Wonderful 101 are the only ones I want now.
Phil writes, "Whether locally or online, multiplayer is a marvelous way to extend the life of a given video game. That said, not all games need multiplayer shoehorned in. The fact of the matter is that the games on this list, part three of my descent into Multiplayer Madness, has multiplayer that feels like a natural extension of the single player. From Grand Theft Auto V to Wii Sports Club, this list has a wide variety of titles in it that I can't help but enjoy and recommend to you, SuperPhillip Central's readers."
Not a bad list. GTA is fine, but I feel like they missed adding something like Call of Duty 4 or something along those lines.
I could put off by GTA online's terrible matchmaking on the PS4, not sure if this has been improved or not yet.
Anyone notice that the review scores are lower for this version? The original Wii sports is pretty finnicky, but this one improves on some of the control aspects and puts in online multiplayer. You'd think people would go bonkers for that.
I tried the baseball, and didn't like it. You have to switch between wiimote and gamepad, which I thought was clunky. Then when using the gamepad, while pitching, the speed meter was glitching and stuttering so bad I couldn't even play it. Not sure what the deal is, but it's one Nintendo game that I think could use more work, or better servers or something.
