Happy New Years everyone! Yearly, it's a tradition for me to play Wii Sports on New years, so i got some screenshots for that tonight. I nearly wasn't able too as I lost my Wii U power cable and couldn't find it, but i didn't let that stop me and i hooked up my PS5 controller to Dolphin and played with it's Gyroscope.

Some of the games were playable. Not well though. Golf i had to do tiny little taps and it straight up trapped my Mii in a purgatory of Eternal Practice Swings. No matter what i did pressing A did nothing:

I moved on from Golf and to Tennis. it was a bit easier as The Gyroscope was super sensitive. The Miis went all or nothing with it. somehow though i still lost despite having every shot be a 100% basically.

Finally, Bowling kept taking a curve left at the very end. It took me a while to get the Angle Down but i eventually got it. I didn't get any hole in one's but i did get a spare.

I didn't even bother with Boxing because i wasn't sure how to handle the Gyroscope for the nun-chuck.

I think my lesson learned this year is that i should find my Wii U cables, and probably make that my new years resolution too.

that's something i hope to do when people see my posts. Introducing people to new games or to try new ones is something i always love doing
