Games: Wii Golf

There are already 3 golf games for the Nintendo Wii. I played the Wii sports version the other night with my brother in law Erik. Erik is a great golfer but Wii golf was not his bag. At least not on the first play of the game. He’ll be picking that up much quicker now and he knows real golf terms and strategies and techniques so on the next time we meet on the green he’ll be whooping all of our butts.

Is there a reason that there are already 3 golf games for the Wii? Do we really need 3 of them? It just seems to me that it wouldn’t be that fun playing different golfing games. They are different in that the characters you play are different. Wii Golf is for a fun party atmosphere. Super Swing is a fun looking game with many interesting characters and the serious golfer is going to want Tiger Woods 2007. So I guess there is something for everyone.

My Wiimote is out of power… Now What?

The great thing about the Wii is the wiimote and how much fun it is to play with. The bad thing is that it burns through batteries especially the way I play Zelda and work on my Pro status on Wii Sports Boxing. There are a couple of solutions to this problem. You can get a set of rechargeable AA batteries. This would be the simplest solution. However you can also get some Wii recharging stations that are designed to charge a special battery pack for your Wii. My friend Derek has one and he loves it. I’m not sure what directions I should go. But It might be better in the long run to get a set of rechargeable AA batteries. I can get a charger very easily and the Wii Charge Station is on backorder. Maybe going specialized isn’t the best thing in this case.
