Everybody remembers when you first got your Wii and played Wii Sports. You thought it was AMAZING and played standing up doing full blown swings in tennis. It truly was revolutionary..

But after some time with it.. it lost its charm. Instead of standing up, I just played sitting down. No more full swings, I just flicked my remote. After about a 10 days.. it felt kinda old.

How long did it take before your copy of Wii Sports go from "FREAKIN AWESOME" to just "ehh its ok I guess"?

As soon as I inserted Twilight Princess into my Wii...

But I still think its fun. I play it with my family and friends quite often.

It still hasn't lost it's charm for me.

I play standing up swinging full force, 18 months later.

I never really liked it to begin with. I tried each game a few times just so I could say I did then I moved on to bigger, better things. Like Metroid Prime 3.

As soon as I realized I didn't have to do full motion swings was when I stopped doing them... that was about after 5 minutes of playing each sport. Though I still liked playing Wii Sports for a good two months after I got my Wii. Nowadays it just comes out for occasional get-togethers or if someone challenges me.

I never though it was "FREAKING AWESOME". I always though it was meh, and I still do. I'm not really a big fan f any casual games. Guitar Hero, Tetris, Sports games, never really liked any of them. Plus, I really suck at Wii Sports(actually pretty much all casual games I suck at :oops:). Boom Blox it pretty good though, but there is just something about it that I like, maybe it that my 8 year old nephew can't beat me at it, like most casual games.

Wii Sports is still the #1 favorite when I take the Wii to family gatherings. Especially bowling.

Well, when I got my Wii there were plenty of folks wanting to play with it, so the first days it was Wii sports all over. Then I started playing Zelda and almost forgotten about Sports. But playing one game for days just bores me, so I picked up Wii Sports again.
It kept funny for a while, till I bought some other games. Nowadays I still 'sport' with the same pleasure. It only get better, cause I don't have so much pain in my arms swinging the remote :p
It's just a great multiplayer game for a nice day with family and friends.
I think it's also the challenge to get more and more points, that's sure one of the things that makes me play sports again, over and over.

I don't think it can lose it's charm

Well ok I need to refine that

This kinda links back to my post about having money for the Wii. If you have a bunch of other games that show off what the Wiimote can do then you play Wii Sports in spurts. Everyone once and a while you toss it in and all of a sudden it's 45 mins later.

On the other hand if you play Wii Sports all the time then yeah, it's going to get old over time

I don't think it's ever lost its charm, there are simply other games that are more fun.

It got old when I would be playing tennis or boxing and then stop. My family would then flood into the basement while I would be watching tv and demand to play bowling. This doesn't sound too bad but my family is stupid. I have to change all the cords around in order to change from tv to anything else. Then I have to press all the buttons and the whatnot for them while they yell at me to hurry up. Then before every game, they make me remind them of the controls. My family annoys me.

Excuse me for the rant.

For me it went from "ehh its ok I guess" to "wow this game sucks" in a day. Playing Twilight Princess did help do that. My party game was originally SSBM, but now my new party game is SSBB. I still play SSBM. I think it's a bit better.

Meh.. i felt it got tiring after a few days and also since I had Excite Truck and Twilight Princess to keep me busy, I never felt the mood to play Wii Sports, but sometimes I still play it when people come and they want to play it

A week. It's a demo that's a great pack in, but not an actual game and has no real charm after that first week for me. A fleshed out and complete sequel wuold be great though.

Its still good fun for me, it hasn't lost its charmed since I got the Wii on April, 4th 2007. Now I do have to admit that I neglect it at times do to other Wii games captivating me.
