Bowling

I had problems with my throws curving. I found that if you pull the remote back slowly and smoothly follow through, that you will get a straighter shot, just like in real bowling.

Wii Sports Tips:

Hint by Smaug317 on March 21, 2007  |  report this hint

Tennis:

Be sure not to hit the ball too early or too late, if you do you will end up hitting it out of the field.

Baseball:

Be sure to alternate you pitches... don't do the same one too many times. Also, don't throw Splitters too fast, or they will end up being fastballs.

Bowling:

When you bowl, hold the Wiimote flat in your hand. If you tilt it at all in a direction, the ball will curve that way.

Golf:

Don't hit the ball too hard.

Boxing:

Strike with your "off hand" often. They never suspect it.

Boxing

Hint by qweresa on April 08, 2007  |  report this hint

When you are in the 700's or over, the opponent will get up quickly and you will need to rest. You can press plus and sit down, but that would not raise the energy needed to do a power punch. Lean left and right, trying to avoid punches, and eventually you will see a fuzz. Time will slow, and as soon as time continues, strike. This shot will always be a power punch.

Knock Down All Pins In Bowling Training
When on the final lane of Power Throws during Bowling Training, move all the way to the right (or left, depending on which hand you use). Turn toward the wall two to four notches then release the ball on top of the wall. If done correctly, you will hear a click and an explosion, and all the pins will fall down from the shockwave.
Extra Pins In Bowling
When aiming for the pins while first aiming, move all the way to the far right or left. Then, depending on which direction you moved, turn your bowler as far as you can go in the same direction and your target will be in another lane.

Switch Tennis Court Into Practice Court
When on the black screen after selecting your character press and hold 1 and 2. You will have the blue practice court (it doesn't effect gameplay).

Tennis Power Serve
When the ball hovers at its peak height after being tossed up, hit it with as much force and forward wrist movement as you can. If you do it right, the ball will serve faster than normal and you will see smoke trails.

Wall Holes And Unfair 2nd Bounces
While playing the target training for tennis, keep hitting the wall in 1 spot. You can bust a hole in it and if it goes through the hole it cancels your game and records whatever score you had.

Never Lose Skill Points
When you lose a match in Tennis, Baseball, or Boxing, immediately press Home before the game displays "You lose". Then, exit to the Wii menu. If timed correctly, when you reenter the game your skill level in that sport will not have decreased.

Platinum Medals
Keep trying to improve your score in the training modes. Eventually you will get a high enough score to get a platinum medal. Example: Power bowling, if you get a score of 700 or more pins than you will get a platinum medal.

Playing With Both Players
When your playing one player in any mode in tennis, press B to make your front teammate hit/swing at the ball

91 Pins
To knock down all 91 pins on the "power throws" training game, roll the ball all the way down the lane on the bumper. It must go all the way! This may take a few tries but when you get it, there will be a boom and all the pins will fall down.

Pitch Underhand In Baseball

Hint by qweresa on April 10, 2007  |  report this hint

While pitching, press 2 before throwing. To return to a normal overhand pitching, press 1.

Tennis

Hint by qweresa on May 01, 2007  |  report this hint

As soon as you have picked your player, press and hold 1 and 2. The playing field will switch from the normal game field to the training field. You will know this has happened when you pick the game type, and blue will show up in the background.

tennis: this is common sense, but basically what i do is hit the ball early or late to get the angle and direction i want the ball to go in, and i try to make the opponent run as far as possible for the ball. eventually they will not be able to keep up. also on your serves, try to hit the ball at its peak height for a serve that is much faster and sometimes gets you aces (an ace is a serve in tennis that is not returned in court). you can also try to spin the ball, but this isnt as easy, as it is not accurate to real life tennis motions to put topspin, backslice, etc. i found that it is easiest to do wen u go almost directly sideways to the left or right.

baseball: when i pitch, i never ever throw a pitch over the middle for a strike. press left or right on the d pad to select a direction (and up or down resets it to the middle). i pitch extremely slow most of the time as well, as believe it or not, slow pitches are harder to hit fback farther. almost everytime they hit a soft groundball. i pitch mostly all slow fastballs inside, sometimes outside, and sometimes i throw splitters, usually slow as well. occasionally i will throw screwballs to the right (from the pitchers point of view) because outside or middle screwballs will end up over the plate, and for curves i do vice versa, toward the left from the pitchers point of view, since right or middle curves will end up over the plate. all of these directions will be vice versa if you are left handed. also, i usually pitch over the top, not sidearm (you can throw sidearm by pressing 2). as for batting, there isn't much i can say. just stay aware and ready to swing. u dont need a full haymaker swing, just swing farely hard. i usually hold the bat a little bit more toward the front of me opposed to over my shoulder (but then again sometimes i dont, but i usually do wen i want to be prepared). this will allow a quicker reaction and more cahnce of contact. also, MAKE THE PITCHER THROW STRIKES!!! do not swing at balls, u will get nothing out of them. as for splitters, u can tell they are splitters by their movement. they will have little to no spin and funny movement. you will be able to see this with practice. curves and screwballs are easy to see as they move right from the get go. just remember to only swing at strikes. be disciplined. all of the previous should help a lot, as in baseball my rating is usually hovering around a 2100 rating.

bowling: i usually go to the right side (i'm right handed). i dont go all the way over, just a couple notches starting from where the line is directly next to touching the gutter. you then have to find a consistent spin and release method. try to to throw the ball in the air; try to actually roll it. if you throw to hard, u will get no spin practically. if you throw to soft, it will spin too much. just go to the same spot or at least close to it and keep a consistent swing, keeping the same power, motion, and spin, and u should get strikes almost everytime.

wii sports tips

Hint by grunge226 on June 10, 2007  |  report this hint

golf: for this, pretty much just practice. its all trial and error. u always must factor in the wind. when you are putting, press 1 (it might be 2) to show elevation levels of the green, and adjust ur aim appropriately. light colors are high elevations, dark colors are low ones. think of how the hills would affect the ball in real life to know how much to adjust ur swing (u must adjust it even wen a couple feet from the hole, it affects it that much). also, look on the map at the line of aim and the dots. there are 4 dots. these correspond to your power meter. for example, if u hit the ball with as much power as 3 dots (the 4th dot being full power), it will theoretically land on the 3rd dot of the line on the map. this is without fatoring the wind, however. also, of course, u wouldn't want your ball to land on the hole, as it will just go over, so u shouldn't do as much power that would make it reach the hole, as obviously it has a much greater chance of going toward the hole if it is less power and rolls toward the hole, opposed to having the ball land near the hole, as it will just roll past it.

boxing: for boxing, just get smooth punches in. do not punch rapidly like a retard, as the miis cannot punch that fast. just relax and throw simple combos and do not punch too hard. you can punch more upward for headhits, and straight/lower for body shots, u can also throw hooks and uppercuts (these are harder to do, as the wii does not read your movements well; for upper cuts you pretty much have to punch directly up). if u point the remotes together, your mii will block. i like to use this method of blocking. i allow the opponent to throw a couple punches, but i am blocking them, and when the opponent is finished her attack, i then immediately punch him/her as much as i can, then block again and repeat this.

Improving Your Game

Hint by tuck179 on July 01, 2007  |  report this hint

If you want to improve on any of the games on this game you must learn how to really use your wrist with the wii remote. Especially in tennis. If you just flick your wrist instead of using your whole arm, your game will definately increase giving a lot better scores.

Bowling

Hint by therealog92 on July 24, 2007  |  report this hint

Its more of a tip but for people who just cant seeem to throw a straight ball like me you should throw the ball higher in the air. The closer the ball is to the ground in your realease the more spin will be on the ball but the higher the ball is thrown on the realease there will be less spin on the ball. This works extremely well for spares.

Bowling on others lanes

Hint by MrHughJass on August 04, 2007  |  report this hint

If you situate your Mii all the way to either corners and move him facing other peoples lanes, it is possible but very hard, you can throw the ball onto the other persons lane and the pins you knockdown go into your score.

Tennis

Hint by Wii Ownz All on August 23, 2007  |  report this hint

To Power Serve, Hit the ball when it's at it's highest point; when it won't go up further, but it hasn't come down yet. Then it will be a very hard serve and if you have a low skill level, the opponent will often miss it. Also, once you choose your Character and press continue, immediately hold 1 + 2 and then you will get to play on the practice court. It is the same course that the Training minigames use. It doesn't change gameplay at all, but there are courts next to yours (Without other people playing) and there aren't any people watching.

How to get good at bowling.

Hint by Vidmaster on September 16, 2007  |  report this hint

For those of you struggling with bowling (lack of strikeage) here's afew tips on how to get a good score.

1. If your ball has spin when you bowl (even when you dont want it too) it's ok, use it to your advantage. just adjust your stance a bit before you bowl (move your mii to the left or right depending on your spin)

2. always try to release the ball when its lowest to the ground, so there is as little bonce as possible, and to throw it as hard as you can so you can hit knock over alot of pins.

I used these tips and i have 1,317 skill points.

Great hints.

This game is so fun. one of the hints is when you are playing tennis to hit the ball at the climax of the serve and it will hit a fast hard server that ur opponent will often not hit back. If you move left and right when you box you will dodge the hits.

Tennis:
1st: While on the main menu screen, hold down the 2 button. Then, click tennis and go from there normally. Instead of being at the normal competition courts, you will be at the practice courts. These are blue.
2nd: When serving, wait until the tennis ball reaches the peak of your toss-up...then, hit the ball using mostly wrist-movement. This will cause a Speed-Serve followed by smoke.

Baseball:
1st: If you get 5 or more runs in the first or second inning and your opponents gets 0, then you will get a Mercy Rule. This gives a lot of points toward going pro.
2nd: During pitching, press 2 to throw underhanded.(Press 1 to go back to over-handed.)

Bowling:
1st: If you are pro in bowling, you already have this. If you hold down 2 on the main menu screen, you will get a blue ball.
2nd: On your backswing, if you "drop" the ball, the people behind you watching, will jump up and do circles.

Golf:
1st: On hole 2, before you tee off, scroll over until you reach a peice of fairway. On your power meter bar, hit between the 3rd and top dot. Doing this, will save a whole stroke off your game.

Boxing:
1st: This is pretty simple but I'll tell you anyway. To lean left, angle your wii-mote and nunchuk left. So on and so forth.

Fitness Tests:
1st: If you are bad at boxing, say no when it asks you if you're able to use the nunchuk. If you say no, boxing won't be in the test.
2nd: To take more than one test a day, go to the Home Menu and then to settings. Set the day one day ahead. Then, after you take the test again, put the date back to normal.

big strike

Hint by alexp1994 on December 02, 2007  |  report this hint

when in traing mode for bowling in which every time you send a ball down the lane you get more pins, on the last one, 91 pins i think, look at the rail on either side you should see a little red button, adjust your shot, bowl the ball down the rail, hit the button and an earthquake will happen giving you a 91 pin strike, however it will take a little practice to achive it
