Wii Sports Club for Wii U Arrives in Stores on July 25
REDMOND, Wash.--(June 5,
in the year of our Lord 2014)-- Fore! Love! Strike!
Home run! TKO! All five of these phrases are going to echo
through the homes of Wii U owners everywhere when the
five-sports-in-one packaged version of Wii Sports Club hits
stores on July 25 at a suggested retail price of $39.99. With
Wii Sports Club, the millions of people who fell in love with
Wii Sports can now hop off their couches and get active with new
versions of the five original classic sports – Tennis, Bowling,
Golf, Baseball and Boxing – enhanced with online multiplayer and
optimized for play with the Wii U GamePad controller.
Wii Sports Club feels like a new experience, with the addition
of crisp high-definition graphics and Wii MotionPlus technology,
as well as creative uses of the Wii U GamePad. For example, in
Wii Sports Club – Baseball, the pitcher aims a fastball,
change-up or curveball by moving the GamePad around in real
space and pressing a button to throw. If the ball gets hit in
the air, the player holds the GamePad to track and catch the fly
ball – just like they would with a baseball glove! In Wii Sports
Club – Golf, players place the GamePad on the floor. The ball
will appear on the GamePad controller’s screen and then “fly” to
the TV screen when players take their golf swing using the Wii
Remote Plus controller.
Using the game’s new online multiplayer mode, players no longer
have to wait for a reunion or holiday gathering to play with
friends and family members who live far away. Gamers from all
over the country who own the game and have a broadband Internet
connection can play Wii Sports Club together. Players also can
join a club to represent their regions and build online
communities with fellow club members by sending tips, pep talks
and other messages via Miiverse.
