Why there hasn't been badminton game around? I think badminton is cool and it's very popular in most Asian countries, England, Denmark, etc. So, EA, please make a badminton game, especially on Wii.

I think a badminton game on Wii will be great. Yes?

I think that idea would only work if it REALLY felt like you were playing badminton using the Wii Remote. I really enjoy playing badminton as well, but I worry about game developers not getting the feeling right, and turning it into something that feels exactly like tennis... because I'd rather just play that on Wii Sports.

Badminton would actually be pretty cool. It could differ than Wii Sports Tennis in that you actually have to guide the Wii Remote upwards so whatever the thing you're hitting is called goes over the net.

I thought that table tennis, could not be made possible on game. But I was wrong,

I'm sure that EA or other sport developers could make a decent badminton game. I think badminton is similar to tennis or table tennis in a way. It's a racquet sport. But may be it's not as popular as the others, therefore the market isn't good? Maybe that's the reason.

I'm pretty sure this game coming out has badminton:

http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/decasporta/index.html?tag=result;title;0

The three playable sports were badminton, archery, and snowboard racing, and all three used very simple controls based entirely on the Wii Remote. For badminton, you simply swung the controller when the shuttle gets near you to keep the rally going. How hard you swing seems to make a difference to how quickly, and in what direction, the shuttle moves. As in Wii Sports Tennis, however, the movement of your players is entirely controlled automatically.

I can control 95% of the shot in badminton. It is fun to play

the hard-mode against a computer. I post the videos on youtube.

Drop return the jump smash is amazing.

In this game, we can control only the swing strenght and a direction.

The position of the player is justified by the computer which

is good in the sense that the game pace can go faster.

Most reviewers play the game for 30 secs and does not

realise the depth of the game and even mentiotned that it is like

a tennis game which is so wrong!

Here is an example of a bad review

Obviously, all the players did not read the game instructions at all.

I hope badminton isnt made untill wii motion plus. I don't want to start a flame fest but the wii remote isn't strong enough to handle complex motions in your wrist to simulate real badminton.

Jaysonguy

why does it matter to you if it's deep enough or not? you swore not to buy wii games anymore. LOL

(which makes us wonder why you're still lurking here in the wii forums...are you hoping people would wonder where you are now that all the complaining and hate posts are gone?)

Oh, jaysonguy? Just ignore him and his constant melarchy and he'll eventually grow weary of the lack of attention and leave.
