Wii Play - Two-Player Table Tennis

This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Table Tennis mode of Wii Play for the Wii. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U). I'm player one and Drew is player two.

I had actually been interested in getting Wii Play since shortly after I got my Wii in early December 2006 because it looked like more of Wii Sports. However, I never got around to buying it until 2011, mostly because I made the mistake of listening reviewers who bashed the game. It's a shame I waited so long because the game is actually quite fun. It reminds me of a lot of the simple black box NES games I played as a kid.

The Table Tennis in this game is a bit disappointing because instead of swinging the Wii Remote like in Wii Sports Tennis, you simply use pointer controls to move the paddle and the game does the rest. I was really hoping for something better when I first heard about this mode, but at least Wii Sports Resort got it right.

In the single-player mode, you simply go for a high score in a rally, but in the two-player mode, you get to have an actual ping pong match, so I think the two-player mode is better.
