[Happening] Wii Tennis

 
Currently Gaming: Nintendo Wii Sports/Action Bundle
Now, I was at a friend's house for Chinese New Year and as the Nintendo Wii is a party machine, naturally, there happened to be a Nintendo Wii sitting inside their house when we had this Chinese New Year party. It seems like everyone has one now. And the second I got into their apartment, there were people playing the Wii already. Eventually I got my first experience with that Wii-mote~ ended up playing a Chinese New Year Wii Tennis tournament, and after four hours of Wii tennis, my arm was sore.

The sore lasted for two days and I can still feel it right now.

So Wii Sports is a simulation... an interface. Now, I feel more pain playing Wii Tennis. It's TOUGHER to play Wii tennis than real tennis.
I can practice tennis for four hours - I sure can't say the same about Wii Tennis. No wonder you burn so much calories playing the Wii.
It's too intensive. Shouldn't simulations be easier than real life activities? Should I say Wii Tennis is a failure as an interface?
I mean don't get me wrong - it's a nice game. But... shouldn't it be less painful? lol

Oh and girls are so good at playing Wii tennis, because the fast stroke is exactly the same way as how a girl would do a handslap on a guy.
~.~ They practice that for all their lives - it's obvious that they are better than the guys at playing Wii tennis and boxing.

Slap, slap, slap away, you girls.

I wonder if I should get a Wii now. I know I'll get it eventually... just wondering if it should be now.
I'd want a Japanese Wii too...
