IGN, video game wasteland, says Wii Bowling takes true skill only a bowling master can comprehend. However, they have been proven wrong. Not by pros, no, but regular Joes stoned out of their mind with babies and cats crawling all over the place. Now, once and for all, we see the true potential of this legendary game.

- IGN suck at playing video games
- They still look like they are having lots of fun ~
Regardless, I can imagine that if you got the motion down, you could hit strikes consistently. I definitely get more strikes in Wii Bowling than in real life bowling, but not much more.
Seriously, my only questions were "how many takes that didn't result in strikes did we not get to see?" and "at what point did you actually start just adding canned footage of a strike?" (I fear for anyone who thinks every shot was real.)
It was still good for a laugh, but "EG 1, IGN 0" it ain't.
/sarcasm
When laying in bed, he swings it but if you look at his hand, it leans to the right and actually ends with him pointing towards theh RIGHT. look at the video and the ball goes to the LEFT.
It doesn't matter if you are facing the censor bar for this game, it is just registering the speed and angle to which you are throwing the ball and where you line yourself up at. if it matter where you stood, then theyw ouldnt let you pick where you start from.
So FAKE!
The really funny part is Summas final line in his post:
"Now, once and for all, we see the true potential of this legendary game."
Clearly this is a limp attempt at demeaning Wii bowling as unrealistic and a waste of time. On the contrary this statement is completely true. Thats because the true potential of Wii Sports is for a group of friends to get together and have a good time. It appears thats exactly what these guys did in making the video. So while Robert was attempting to lessen the Wii, his statement actually describes what really IS happening in this video. Who cares if the Wii leads to satire as long as it provides the inspiration for expression and amusement. Nothing against the PS3 but I honestly doubt this group of guys will have as much fun with it as they did making this video.
@subnet6... we acutally didn't reuse the same strike footage until the end when the wii-mote's range finally gave way to the many walls we tried to put between it & it's momma-Wii.
Go back to Joystiq.
...honest to God, I tried going back into there. It's like trying to walk into a burning building full of typed out shouting and fifty comments that all are some derivative of "this isn't news" or "wow, Joystiq is biased".
Plus, their site looks crappy. Black is the new black.
Hey, I said its funny. I particularly like the one from the kiddie ride at the store, that was good. I'm just saying, you should have recorded a few extra strikes on the back end for the footage so it didn't look like you were reusing them. Thats all.
Weren't you the one that took a satire video and used it to try and "prove" that Wii bowling is an easy game?
This is satire, to be sure, but it's too stupid to be funny. "hey kids, let's all have a chuckle at the blatantly obvious!"
I thought the video was hilarious, some people need to lighten up.
That's what she said.
