    Take the original Wii Sports, add better accuracy with the WiiMotion Plus controllers and add online modes to create Wii Sports Club. The game is best with friends playing local multiplayer, but online mode is a great alternative for solo gamers.Unfortunately, the online matches does suffer from internet connection issues when playing others without a strong internet connection.

Hopefully those issues will be resolved with future updates and more people joining the Clubs.
    Bowling is better than ever, and golf is a lot of fun with an extra use of the gamepad (placed on the floor as the tee/golf ball). At $10 per "sport" Wii Sports Club is worth buying your favorite one or two (or three).    … Expand

    The basic problem with Wii Sports Club is the same that many Wii U games like this one and Wii Party U and Wii Fit U have encountered: its just more of the same in a slightly prettier package. Whereas Wii Sports was groundbreaking on the original Wii, this one is more of a "me, too" on the Wii U with only HD graphics and online play added to a basically untouched game engine.

Whereas Wii Sports was groundbreaking on the original Wii, this one is more of a "me, too" on the Wii U with only HD graphics and online play added to a basically untouched game engine. The most disturbing is that while Wii Sports was a pack in game for much of the Wii's lifespan, Wii Sports Club is $39,99 (at time of launch and of this writing), or $5-$10 per sport as a download. That's a pretty hefty asking price when the original does basically the same thing and for much less.… Expand

    A great remake of an the best-selling Wii title, Wii Sports. Wii Sports Club offers new HD graphics, along with online play, allowing players to compete online and even come up with their own messages during games. The sports provided so far are Tennis & Bowling, Tennis was fun to play online although a few times I felt like there was some bad connection games going on, and with Bowling, IA great remake of an the best-selling Wii title, Wii Sports.

Wii U owners can rejoice as this game is free to download and will provide a free 24 hour trial, purchasing permanent passes after is up to you, which seems fine but at $10 per sport, it seems way too overpriced. Overall, Wii Sports Club is a great remake Wii Sports, making it better with the graphics and online play, but is it worth it to permanently buy each sport for $10? ($50 for all 5)… Expand

    So far It's a 6 for me. While tennis is fun to play online and off, something happened with bowling because each time I try to hit the pins the ball just goes in the opposite direction, this was never a problem with the original Wii sports. I'll most likely give it a better score once golf, baseball, and boxing comes out.

    I'm really disappointed that Nintendo's next gen offering for one of the games that made the Wii special is this. A re-hash.

    The original Wii Sports was the best-selling game of all time, and it’s clear Nintendo want to attract the original game’s audience to Wii U.

That’s fine, but at least make some changes to the game. And it’s true, they have. Wii Sports Club is different from the original in that it’s free to download, but you then have to buy each sport you want individually. The main problem is that the prices are too high. The original was free with the Wii, but here each sport costs £8, a lot for something like this.
    The HD update adds nothing to the sports. In fact, you can barely tell that it’s HD. The sports run similarly, except that you need Motionplus to play them. It makes a difference to golf, which also makes clever use of the gamepad, requiring you to put it on the floor facing up. It shows a close-up view of the golf club and the ball, so it’s as if playing a real golf game even more. This is the best thing about Wii Sports Club, but sadly none of the other sports available use the gamepad, which isn’t a disappointment in itself- how do you weave second screen gameplay into a game of tennis? But the sports themselves, apart from golf, are largely unchanged, nor are they enhanced by motionplus. There was great potential here for tennis, but I was disappointed by how it was the same.
    There is a success in Wii Sports Club, however, and it’s in the online. This is what perhaps slightly justifies downloading some of the sports, but then again it doesn’t. £8 for the addition of online (and a few new modes)? Certainly not a bad price but not a good one either. Better to blow the dust off your old Wii if you want more of Wii Sports.    … Expand

    7/10

    Wii Sports Club isn't just an HD remaster but in some cases it should be

    + Online Play
    + Local multiplayer
    + Club based online mode
    + Tennis
    + Bowling
    + Baseball
    + Golf

    - Boxing is awful 1/10 compared to Wii Sports that was actually for me the greatest to 1vs1
    - No age practice
    - Lacks innovation
    - Seemed a little bit rushed
    - eShop timed exclusive

    Don’t get this unless you don’t have the original Wii Sports. Wii Sports Club is a copy and paste of that

    Wii Sports Club is a good game, but I have many gripes about this game. First I will explain what I like about this game. The online is very fun, sure it can take a while to find people due to not many people playing this game, but the online matches I have played are fun and I have had very little issues about it. The UI and menus while bland, are very charming and have great remixes ofWii Sports Club is a good game, but I have many gripes about this game. First I will explain what I like about this game. The online is very fun, sure it can take a while to find people due to not many people playing this game, but the online matches I have played are fun and I have had very little issues about it. The UI and menus while bland, are very charming and have great remixes of old Wii Sports themes and great new music as well, the 5 sports are really fun as well. Sure they are just remakes of the original 5 sports from the original game, but it's fine. I think this really underutilized the GamePad though, they just shoved it in when it didn't really need to be added at all. Nintendo Land was able to use the GamePad in unique and creative ways, but this game lacks when it comes to using the GamePad. One of my other gripes about this game is it is a bit too overpriced, I think each sport should be worth 5$ not 10$, and another thing I don't like is the "HD" graphics, sure the target audience might not really care for the graphics, but the game, while it does look decent, it doesn't really deserve to have each sport be 10$, it just doesn't look HD at all it just looks like they used the original Wii Sports textures and just put them in the game, i'm not saying the game looks terrible, i'm just saying it shouldn't have "new HD graphics" be part of the marketing. My conclusion is, this is a good game, but I would rather you just get Nintendo Land because it is the better game, but if you still want to play bowling on your Wii U, you should just get Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort, and if you just want to play online just get Mario Kart 8 because even today the servers for that game is still fairly big even if most people moved on to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.… Expand

    While the inclusion of online play creates some issues with the slower-moving sports, it’s still a fun addition for Tennis and Baseball.

    Rather than advancing upon the legacy of its predecessor, Wii Sports Club comes off more like an HD remake of the same old game with some additional motion plus and gamepad support. While this may have been a groundbreaking package eight years ago, today it feels altogether lackluster.

    It's still great fun, particularly in short bursts, but it's hard to justify plunking down extra cash for Wii Sports Club.
