The Nintendo Wii is being heralded in a 23-year old Australian stroke patient’s “remarkable recovery”. Stephanie Ho was just 22 when she suffered a stroke which affected the left side of her brain, a result of a congenital defect in the brain’s blood vessels. Following the incident, Stephanie was unable to use her right arm or hand.
The Switch just isn't equipped for a killer sports title like the Wii was
A lot of the points made here are true, yet let's give it a chance, because like the author said, the Wii was a motion control console and everyone did view it as such while the switch is not, so the way people view the game determines how much they invested in it, so again let's give it a chance and see
Wii sports was truly atrocious and you're saying Switch Sports will be even worse? It does not bode well for Switch Sports indeed.
Wii Sports was ok for screwing around, but the games lacked depth. Also I'm not sure why it seems like they decided to stick with the automatic player movement so all you need to do is swing to hit something. Very noob friendly but not as much fun IMO.
Wii Sports was THE game for casuals. I don’t feel many casuals own the Switch. I can’t see this doing the numbers Wii Sports did.
Course it won't, the Wii was a phenomenon. Something new with the motion tech. A curiosity to almost everyone. Obviously Switch sports won't create the same impact.
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.
Yeah i agree but i don't think Nintendo will be bringing wii sports to the Nintendo Switch samething goes for diddykong racing
A look at some of the best games that launched beside a new console.
Missing Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS5 in this list. Love this game!
I had a stroke when I started playing the Wii.
Sucks that she had a stroke, especially at such a young age
And my doctor wants me to buy a balance board to correct my equilibrium. She said, it's the best solution. It's easy, fun and effective, as long as i'm doing it everyday, for a couple of months. I guess i can trust her, no?
The problem with stroke victims is that they need a lot of small, repetitive and boring exercises which not rarelly get the patient a lot depressed as those apparently simple tasks are sometimes really hard to complete on such condition and many of those people don't have the will to stand it and give up the physiotherapy.
Anything that can add some fun to this activities is good in my book. Hobbies as painting or playing a instrument have reconigtion among specialists for being a distraction that keeps the affect person interested and making the moves. I believe motion controlled games will get there in the list too.
How'd it happen at such a young age? :(
