Wii Swimming?

So something like this, only on Wii.

Sorry, Sega thought we enjoyed this more.

At this point, you need to take it up with them.

I feel sorry for the person that bought me M&S Go to the Olmypic games for me....it's....just...so...boring....

Yes a whole game just for swimming. Did you not read where I said it could be a budget Wii-ware game? GoDsSoN770

I did.

I did.

even if its a budget wii-ware game it would still suck.

Well let me be a bit more clear. I'm refering to competitive swim racing lol. Not just swimming around with your miis in a big empty pool.GoDsSoN770

Swimming and sprinting are bad ideas for sport games. 95% of technique required - and the most interesting technique for that matter - are respiration and energy management which are too subtle to be properly represented and, well, a chore outside of context. You see, it's pure physical work, there's no teamwork/strategy to add more depth and make a proper game.

Not to mention no water, no win.

They may be bad ideas on other systems, but the Wii is a lot differen't if you haven't noticed. I specified that breathing could be handled done via the big A button on the Wii-remote. As far as energy, would it not take energy to do the specified arm motions, as well as the steps on the ballance board? I sure think so. Even then, they could implement some type of energy bar, which would be differen't for each character, and you could build on it by training. So trying to stroke or kick too fast could drain your energy, depending on the character, and their attribute. If your energy gets too low, of course you'd start to slow down. Theres some depth for ya.

I have swum and played waterpolo for years, and all I can say is that's utter boring, nowhere close to the experience nor fun. No wonder sprinting/swimming in gaming only makes it as minigames, because what makes a sport game is everything but the physical aspects.

Casual? Who said anything about it being casual?GoDsSoN770

You did, when you said it would be on the wii
