Multi-player on Wii

So, as it happens, I have only one Wii Remote. The other day I had three friends over and we were bored so I suggested some multi-player fun on the Wii. I have only two multi-player games which are:
So, we began with a game of Golf, but we were all doing so badly that we quit halfway through. Onto Bowling, which started out as a friendly, turned into a heated battle for first place, with me coming in second, behind by about thirteen points. Note that there were no smashed T.V screens or Wii remote through window incidents even though we weren’t wearing the wrist strap.

After a brief break for some food and drink, we moved onto WarioWare. After many intense Pass the Bomb games, we tried to beat each other’s scores in the Kel-o-meter mode. My friend set quite a high score, and I, in my competitive fashion, took over control of the Wii Remote and spent at least 30 minutes replaying it over and over. By the time I beat his score, I was dripping with sweat and panting as if I had just ran a marathon.

So although the Wii isn’t all that special in the multi-player compartment at the moment, you can still have a great time, even if with just one controller. And with game like Super Smash Bros. : Brawl and Mario Party 8 coming out, it can only improve.
