Can Wii HelpYou To Improve Your Golf Swing, Or Is It Fun Family Entertainment?

January 19, 2010 by Parshooters 


Tiger Woods Plays Nintendo!

Beginning in the spring, the Wii will become the last of the three current video game consoles, that incorporates instant viewing of Netflix movies and television shows over the internet. Wii owners who have a broadband connection and a Netflix subscription will be able to watch those programs at no extra charge.

The Wii and Netflix will become great partners in giving entertainment value to the living rooms of millions of new potential subscribers. It’s by far the most popular gaming console in the U.S. and Canada. Netflix has been determined for a very long time to offer movie streaming on as many devices as possible. Letting subscribers watch movies over the internet has been an increasingly important service for Netflix.

For the few people who are unfamiliar with Wii, the console offers players a chance to play simulations of golf, bowling, boxing, tennis and baseball. Wii comes complete with two wireless controllers that have built-in motion sensors. Another sensor is positioned on top of the television and Wii players perform the same motions that they want their virtual player onscreen to execute.

Does Wii have the potential to sharpen sports skills? Playing the video games in order to sharpen real life sports skills isn’t a completely ridiculous idea. Obviously if you’ve never swung a golf club before,  maybe it’ll help you to learn how to improve your golf swing mechanically by going through the correct virtual motions of actually playing.

Avid Wii gamers claim that Wii can be used as a fitness tool? Video game playing is not generally associated with exercise or physical activity, however in the age of Nintendo Wii this could be the case.  I believe it’s ridiculous too think that flicking your wrist is considered exercising.  Although the games on Wii is fun,  if  I wanted an actual physical workout I’d sign up for a work out program at a fitness center.

Regardless of the legitimacy of these claims,  Wii remains a very popular console and Nintendo has sold 1.5 million of these $249.99 systems to date.

Consequently, intensive Wii playing has led to numerous reported accidents. Wii related injuries and household damages.  People have been reported and photographed with black eyes and bruises, broken ceiling lamps, smashed windows, broken television sets, Wii controllers stuck in walls, broken pottery, injured pets (including a cat who lost a tooth to a Wii controller) along with other accompanying stories.

Although there are still many people who view Wii as simply a means of fun family entertainment. Nintendo has undoubtedly revolutionized the way in which video games are being played and perhaps even the sole purpose of playing them.  Whenever a new console is about to be introduced into stores people will stay in long lines over night, and say things like “I can’t wait to get my hands on it!”

History is clearly very important to Nintendo. Never has this  been more apparent than for Nintendo’s Wii pronounced “we”, a machine that  wants to revolutionize the way we play games forever!   A Wii feature that will endear it to older players is the fact that once you’ve hooked your console up to broadband, you can download classic Nintendo and Sega games.  The Wii is also backward compatible with the GameCube, which is good news for those who cherished that unloved square box.

Nintendo is hoping that it will attract friends and relatives, parents, and siblings.  So will this become a real revolution in game playing?  So after you’ve conquered Wii Sports, what else is there to look forward to?

After the relative failure of the old-fashioned GameCube, Nintendo is taking a huge leap of faith forward with the Wii. If the game-makers at Nintendo can make imaginative use of its clever control system,  it might be the breath of fresh air that future gaming needs. This is a great way to improve your golf swing without having to spend money or time at the golf course.  Pass the imaginary golf club.

    Yes I think wii did a really great job for producing an innovative game. This has a big impact on those golf dreamers who cant afford to play on the real thing. Its almost the same as playing the real golf. So we can say this can improve a person’s swinging performance.

    You can get a good workout on a wii fit balance board. Have you tried any of the workouts like Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 or Wii Fit Plus? The boxing on Wii Sports will tire you out too. Wii Sports resort is fun and will get your heart pumping.

    Howdy, i read your weblog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get lots of spam comments? If so how do you avoid it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is really much appreciated.

  16. Parshooters on June 4th, 2010 8:38 am

    If your using WP then the plug-in that can stop a lot of the spam comments is called Akismet. It’s what I use, and it seems to do the trick.
