I’m happy to report that I am still loving my Wii, and have been playing Wii tennis at least 5 times a week. I’m also happy to report that I don’t believe I make these kinds of faces when I play, but then again I can’t really be certain of that since, as of yet, I have not been photographed while I play.
Anyway, for those of you who have Wii tennis, you’ll appreciate that I’m in the 700 point range, which is just 300 points shy of being considered “pro.” What the Wii makers probably didn’t anticipate is the false sense of sports aptitude that people could develop as a result of playing these games. For instance, I could easily convince myself that due to my almost-pro-ness at Wii tennis, I could be a good tennis player in actual life. Mr. Mock doesn’t hesitate to point out that this is far from the truth and that I would probably suck at actual tennis. I know he’s right, but it’s very easy to get all full of yourself when you beat the computer generated opponents who have well over 1000 points.
Mr. Mock is super super good at Wii tennis. He’s got over 1200 points I think. He’s such a show-off.
Can you guys recommend some other good sports games? ARE there other good sports games? I’m totally not into any kind of war games or dungeons and dragons types of games. I just want stuff that feels like exercise. Suggestions?

Wii Carnival!!!!!
Wii Music is fun. It isn’t sporty or workouty. It annoys everyone who is not playing it at the time.
Wii Play is worthless unless you want an extra Wiimote and need Club Nintendo points.
Super Mario Galaxy is still where it’s at! It doesn’t fit your personality at all, though. :/
just bought the jillian michaels fitness ultimatum “game” you know the obnoxious trainer chick from The biggest loser. its definately fun mixed with exersize. even tho i wanna punch her in the face for pushing me so hard! haha!
I actually like Wii boxing, which is part of the Wii sports disk. Mini Mock would probably love Mario Super Sluggers. I’m not too crazy about it but it is exercise worthy since it’s baseball.
Wii actually came out with a portable version of their game called wee wii. Now when you travel you can still play with your wee wii.
Mario Cart is super fun!
Gee, Bob, I don’t have one. Can I play with your wee wii?
Wii has a new game out called Smarty Pants that I’m dying to try. It’s a trivia game that you can set your age to, so you can play with your kids and still be challenged. Wii Carnival is pretty fun and MonkeyBall is full of lots of sporty and unsporty mini games that are fun for kids and adults.
Guitar Hero World Tour! I know it’s not an official workout, but if you rock hard enough…
You hardly ever see a fat drummer. Just saying.
Wii fit is totally fun and a really good workout. I love the ski jump, balance bubble, and super hula hoop. If you are looking to add to your wii repertoire, that’s where I would start.
