Why This Glorified Tech Demo is Loved

It isn't particularly outstanding in a game design sense nor does it have tons of content. No, the real reason wii sports is so loved is because it's charming. Hey, what exactly is charm?

Wii Sports has a charm that NO game has ever replicated

[@FeeshUnofficial]

Wii Sports Resort. In fact, it did it better in my opinion

[@Pk-glitch]

*Miitopia has entered the chat*

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Absolutely it’s unmatched

[@spouwnerring]

What I find funny is that in Wii Sports Resorts the very 1st enemy you face in all of the sword game modes is Ryan and Matt is the final boss. However, when it comes to that 1 game mode where you're tasked with cutting objects in half in precise angles before the enemies can, when you face off against Matt Ryan becomes the judge. Also, gotta love the fact that Matt - the bald black guy - uses a purple sword to fight you instead of the red sword that every other mii uses.

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Matt really just is that guy

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Hey everyone, I'm super excited that we're about to hit 10k! You might have to wait a little bit longer than usual for next week's video cause I'm sick and my voice is messed up rn, but hopefully I'll sound good enough so I can cover Smash Ultimate Summit 6.

[@Peter-mx7jt]

thank god. gotta know how much SPF to use since its getting nice out now

[@spouwnerring]

You forgot to pin your comment

[@xxncs1400xx]

Baseball and Bowling did have some decent depth. With practice and learning your mechanics could lead to consistent strikes and homeruns. The pitching was also mainly following the basics of baseball doing the off-speed/fastballs to throw off the batters tempo.. tennis tho..- yeah just flail as fast as you can lol

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Yeah baseball is actually pretty intense when you’re playing against another human

[@ryot325]

I actually loved this tech demo and it's still one of my favorites

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

I’m more of a Wii sports resort fan myself

[@haroeneissa790]

​​@@SlightlyInDepthGaming I know this is off topic, but you made a typo in the title of the video.

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Omg you’re totally right Lmao I’m dumb thanks for letting me know!

[@coyraig8332]

Also the music. This tech demo has some of the best jazz in gaming.

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

Wii sports music is so iconic you right

[@Pedro999Paulo]

I cant believe I forgot that in my original comment, but your video remind me of the wierd miths we have about miis on baseball team, and for that I thank you

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

No problem, I think I made up a lot of stories of all the miis in the game

[@arin4395]

couldn't have said it better myself ! great video , dude !!

[@SnaksiXD]

God I love the Miis you can create for this game, they're so charming.

[@Sebboebbo]

Da king is back baby he neva miss

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

[@musketg2774]

[@huejanuel2292]

[@jayde4872]

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

[@PressRToZeus]

still absurd to me that they completely ditched the Mii's for the switch. such wasted potential

[@SlightlyInDepthGaming]

[@coyraig8332]

Might I introduce Miitopia?

[@mystak3n]
