Probably pointless to everyone who owns Wii Sports.

Why would i want this when I can bowl on Wii Sports? Maybe a new control scheme? I love Wii Sports' scheme so I'm probably not getting it.

You can also play Wii sports at midnight. Which totally makes this game pointless. Ha Ha just kidding But whats with the midnight stuff?

If there is online, a tournament mode alongside regular single player, multiplayer for 4, Wii Sports style controls and you can play as your Mii characters, then that would be an absolute dream. I'd happily pay 1000 points if this stuff was in there but that's just what i'm hoping for, who knows if any of that will actually be in there

I'll stick with Wii Sports, thank you. Come on, Gameloft, I know you got better games that you could port than this, so come on already!

Wii Sports Bowling didn't have that many features to it. Well, there a single player mode, multiplayer for up to 4, training missions for it, playable Mii characters and ...
That's It! Sure, it was fun but it was lacking and Gameloft could have more features planned to be included than Wii Sports Bowling. Gameloft's games have been surprisingly fun and this could be another good game from them

this sounds like wii sports the only thing i can see them doing different is adding online features 2 it

Now that Midnight Pool is out we can see that Gameloft made the Wii version much fancier than their original cell phone release. I expect something similar from them with this game, hopefully with a 'story' mode of some sort to add more depth than Wii Sports had.

I was expecting the same stuff. Can't wait now Pool has been released

@Terranigma
You can't ask for much more than that in a bowling sim. I'm curious to see what they do to make this game worthwhile, but I can't help but feel that they will fall short of that goal.
Edit: Nothing, apparently.

You know, I am very curious with this game now with the much success that Gameloft is getting with their WiiWare lineup. Plus, Midnight Pool is a good game too.

it was ok, but the controls were just awkward, it seems no one besides nintendo can make a decent bowling game for wii! XD

Maybe if it's got online multiplayer and lots of fancy modes and doodads, i'll look into this. I loves me a good bowling game!

Hey, it's Samus2008! Hey, Samus!
Sorry, I know him from another forum
Anyway, IGN gave this a 4, so I don't have my hopes up too high... but I am waiting for the WWW review before I decide against it =)

Added video, shame Gameloft haven't supplied us with the official one yet. I guess even they aren't too enthusiastic about this! lol

I guess so

@Dazza: It's already on the Nintendo Channel, I recorded it and wanted to upload it for Wiiware World, but then I found Nintendaan's and decided to not upload it, since his is in better quality

Ha Ha HA! .. the video makes this game even more terrible. Also what's with the loading screens, looks like porn. (funky bass line)

I downloaded the game before reading the review. The review is right on. Yeah, it's cheap, but a crappy game that costs a penny is still a crappy game. Gamesoft obviously thinks gamers are suckers. (Well, there's me.) And Nintendo needs quality control in the Wii Store, or at least a place for user comments.
