Table Tennis: Match
- Players 1, 2-Players Simultaneous (requires 2 Controllers)
- Objective First to 6-points wins
The Wii Remote becomes your paddle in this faithful recreation of Table Tennis. The first player to six-points wins, though you have to win by at last two. If not, the game will keep going until someone takes the lead. You'll score a point whenever you hit the ball past your opponent, or they return the ball without it touching your side of the table.
The controls are simple: hold the controller like a racket and swing it just like you would in real life. To serve, either press "A" or flick the Wii Remote up to toss the ball in the air, then hit it toward your opponent. For more advanced players, spin can be added to the ball simply by rotating the controller either forward (curving the ball to the left) or back (curving the ball to the right) just before the ball connects with your racket.
Tips
- It doesn't matter how hard you swing the racket, so focus on your technique instead.
- Try adding spin to the ball every once in a while to keep your opponent guessing.
- To smash the ball, return a ball that has a high-bounce at the peak of its height.
