I remember when the Wii (revolution) was first announced, all the Nintendo fanboys were bragging that it would revolutionize sports games. Now almost a year later it is quite obvious that the Wii is terrible for sports games and has even managed to destroy some series like the NBA Live series. Here is a list of the Wii's sports games an the scores they got on GS: NBA Live 08 - 3.0 (7.5 on 360/PS3) Wii Sports - 7.8 Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games - 6.0 Deca Sports - 3.5 Wii Fit - 7.0 Winter Sports 2008 - 4.5 World Sports Competition - 6.5 Madden - 8.0 It is obvious to see here that any genre of sports game released on the Wii is average at best and I thought the Wii would be the god of sports games... So fans of Nintendo, how do you respond to this?

Those developers are just too stupid to undestand how to use the Wii Remote. And besides, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 got the highest score on wii: 8.0 compared to the 7.5, 7.0 of the other versions:P!!!

I diagree, I think they are very smart, they know they can get away with porting a PS2 game to the Wii, slap a new year on it, and it will sell, its not goin g to stop

Appart from Pro Evolution Football which was already mentioned, and incidently scored 6/10 on PS3 and 8/10 on Wii. (B vs AA)

Madden NFL 07 scored AA on Wii and A on PS3 and Xbox360. Meanwhile NFL 09 is making new innovations on the Wii that are similar to those made in Pro Evo 08.

Innovation features of NFL 09 for the Nintendo Wii

NFL09 Best on Wii at Gamespot and IGN. Quote me on that.

Yeah let's compare crap games like Deca Sports to proper games, and besides sports games are rubbish anyway but the Wii does revolutionise the way you play them, same with most games, it's just down to wether or not the developers put any effort in and try new things, like someone said, Pro Evolution '08 get a higher score than on any other platform, and it did something waaay different to normal sports games.

Yeh im a nintendo fanboy, i am fine saying the sports games that have been developed for the wii so far are sub par, but its new mang u gotta give them time to perfect the sports game on a tottaly new type of videogame system. Its not like developing for the 360/ps3 where everything is the same as the last 2 generations.

I'm sorry, I thought the topic title said "Sports Games On the Wii Much Worse Than Those on 360/PS3", not "Sports Games On the Wii Much Worse Than Those on 360/PS3 Except For Two of Them". My mistake, no wonder I said what I said. What I thought the thread was named had me believe that the topic creator meant ALL Wii sports games were worse than the ones on the 360/PS3. Don't know what I was thinking there.

Like what? You do realise there are only like 5 different sports games out there don't you? "Soccer", Football, Hockey, Baseball and Basketball. Wii has the best soccer game, and for 07 the best football, it hasn't even had a hockey game yet, basketball games are rubbish on all formats but I'll admit Wii doesn't have a good one, and Baseball is perfect for Wii, MLB Power Pros has about the same scores as MLB the show does on the main consoles, so that's pretty much equal...

Video game criticism of today is scared to award low scores, so 7 is basically the average these days. It's what comes from a 1-10 scale. Anything below a 5 really isn't considered worth buying. There's a small range of roughly half the 1-10 scale that holds games worth buying, and 7 signifies the average since most game critics are afraid of taking a chainsaw in the face if they award low scores.

Sports fans without a Wii are like First Person Shooter fans without an Xbox360.

as far as consoles go, I'm a wii only gamer. and i must say sports games on wii are freaking crap... looking at you EA sports with your crappy "family play". BUT it is home to probably the greatest sports game of all time IMO... Konami's PES 2008, the Wii version of course.

PES 08 had a 5 month delay on the wii so it shouldnt really count, konami rushed it and made an absolute mess of a game on the ps3/360, then tidied it up for the wii release - its hardly a level field

Yes, because they had no choice but to rush the game out. Konami couldn't possibly have delayed the 360 or PS3 versions, too, could they?

That is one of the worst things I have ever heard. It is blasphemy to baseball and videogames in general to call Power Pros equal to The Show.

NHL 2k9 is coming to the Wii and if they can make the control scheme work it could be awesome.
