Wii Play - Laser Hockey

This is a capture of me earning a platinum medal in the Laser Hockey mode of Wii Play for the Wii. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U).

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.

Laser Hockey is one of the better games in this title. It's like air hockey, but with a neon look, which I think is neat. The controls work well as long as you don't point off screen. Overall, it's a fun little game.

To earn a platinum medal in this mode, you have to obtain at least 14 points. This can be quite tricky, especially when the AI acts like a dumbass and wastes time by pinning the ball in the corner and flipping its paddle around. I find that the best tactic is to rack up scores from as many initial bank shots as possible.
