Wii Tennis face-off: Conan vs. Serena
Nick Chester

No, unfortunately we're not talking about Conan the Barbarian. 
 
On last night's Late Night With Conan O'Brien, the talk show host challenged pro tennis player, Serena Williams, to a friendly game of Wii Tennis. Conan's idea of a friendly involves taking off his pants and grunting like a maniac, something we both have in common. 
 
Conan emerged victorious, with Serena wanting to throw in the towel before the game had even ended. If we've learned one thing from this video, it's this -- everyone, even professionals, look like complete idiots playing Wii games.

Serena : " I can't take it anymore!!"

I think she means the inconsistancey and crapiness of the game.

While I agree with Snaileb about the crapiness of the tennis game (read: will only play it drunk) it is actually very consistent if you swing at the right time. They didn't program it read your actual angle of swing, but rather the spin and timing. If you swing too early, it goes right, too late and it cuts left.

Hmm yes, the Continue, Start Over, or Quit screen. Gets em every time.

Why is it so complicated to non-gamers? Is it because it's so easy it blows their mind?
