Wii Sports Resort was truly a very special game. Whomever made the decision to have Wuhu Island, you deserve the biggest pay raise
-
I went to visit my grandma at her retirement home and they have a whole wii bowling league with different teams and everything that meet every week to compete. I got to go and watch and it looked like hella fun!
-
I think the main problem for Swordplay on Switch is that having it work for multiplayer means that it somehow has to be balanced for both players, whereas the single-player experience could just skew it in a way that makes it most fun for the one player playing.
-
frisbee dog might be 18th place, but it's also S-tier because it gave the world Mii Doggy, the trendsetter that paved the way for future Mii Animals

The Wii Sports series is undoubtedly my favourite Nintendo series. So seeing this video is a treat for me and my nostalgia for this series. Thank you, Nintendo Hero! :)
-
Spocco Square is a worthy successor to Wuhu Island. I just wish we got some free roam options to explore it.
-
Aside from the obvious bangers (swordfighting, boxing, island flyover, etc.) I think the table tennis gamemode might be my favorite. The precision of the shots feels so satisfying, and maneuvering the CPUs out of position to deliver some devastating shots will never not be incredible. Plus, adding in topspin and backspin as well as some other subtle variations on each shot turns what would be a slap-fest into a very well thought-out duel, where placement and power really do matter.
-
One thing that people usually don't notice or mention is how Switch sports doesn't go out of its way to try to recapture the nostalgia and atmosphere that the Wii versions had. They knew that probably would fail horribly, so they just took the risk of making something fresh with the old concept. Its far from perfect, but I think they did Wii sports justice by making an effort to make something different enough to have its own identity within the series.

Not to mention, Switch Sports doesn't have different outfits when you're playing a different sport from what I've seen while in the older games, the clothes you wear shows what kind of sport it represents to make it more authentic. Switch Sports for odd reasons have you keep your drip all the time. Realistically, having that drip on you will tire you out in the long run instead of a good ol' jersey.

4:21 never thought I’d be featured in a YouTube video lol

I'm just glad you acknowledged how stiff Switch Sports is and how unnatural that feels when you're playing it compared to the 1 to 1 translation of moves from prior games. *Especially in Swordfighting*. I would've also ranked Chanbara really low. Can't be mad at the other rankings, i'm just happy that someone else understands
-
I really like the rankings, they seem fair. I just personally feel that OG Bowling needs a boost. It’s the best OG Sports game.
-
Wakeboarding is actually my favorite of Wii Sports Resort
-
Now THIS is S tier content!
-
Your explanation of why you love Island Flyover is exactly how I feel about it, too. It’s awesome knowing that other people love that mode and Wuhu Island as much as I do
-
I absolutely LOVE Swordplay, no cap. I absolutely loved the humor when you play as two players and knock each other in the pool at the same time. Showdown was very much my personal favorite because of how addicting it is to knock every single person to the ground. And taking out Matt, the final opponent? Definitely the best. Swordplay is in my opinion the most exhilarating and personally my best favorite game in Wii Sports EVER.
-
My fellow wuhu island connoisseur has uploaded. Today is a good day. I’m the same as you but I just love island flyover so much it just can’t be topped
-
Swordplay is the best, no questions.
-
Golf in resort will always be my favourite
-
Playing swordplay will never get old, trying to time my hits with the music while blocking he stampede. And then in the distance there is a big figure in black armour. What a game
