Wii Play: Motion - Teeter Targets Endless Mode (Bounce Stage)

This is a capture of me playing the Bounce Stage in the Teeter Targets Endless Mode of Wii Play: Motion for the Wii. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U).

After Nintendo released the Motion Plus accessory alongside Wii Sports Resort in 2009, I started keeping my eye out for additional Motion Plus games. In 2011, Nintendo then released the sequel to Wii Play, which was Wii Play: Motion. Although I (and probably tons of other people) already owned four Wii Remotes, Nintendo only sold this game as a bundle with a Wii Remote Plus, which drove up the retail price.

I had to wait a little while, but I eventually found a seller on Amazon who was selling this game brand new without the bundled controller for a decent price. So I got the game around a month or so after it was released. I ultimately found the game to be rather enjoyable, but some of the mini-games felt incredibly strange and quirky.

It turned out that Nintendo had farmed out development of the Wii Play sequel to various third parties by holding a competition to see who could produce the best mini-games. The winners were then selected for inclusion in the final game. This means that Nintendo didn't even feel like creating a sequel in-house despite the massive sales of the first game.

A few of the game modes suffer as a result, and some of them don't even seem to utilize the Motion Plus accessory much at all since they appear to rely on the basic tilt function of the standard Wii Remote. Overall though, I think Wii Play: Motion is a pretty good sequel with a few innovative uses of Motion Plus.

In this video I set a high score of 46 flips on the Bounce Stage in the Teeter Targets Endless Mode. There are no medals to earn in this mode. You simply go for a high score by crossing the horizontal string as many times as possible without losing your ball.

While this isn't nearly as good as the Teeter Targets Challenge Mode, the Endless Mode still offers a fun challenge by allowing you set infinite high scores. As the name suggests, it's endless, so theoretically, there's no limit to any world records that could be set in this mode.
