When Wii Sports Club launches next month, just two sports will be available: tennis and bowling. Golf, baseball, and boxing will be added at a later date. However, Nintendo did offer up some details on the three upcoming sports additions in the latest Iwata Asks, summarized as follows:

Golf

– Use the GamePad and the TV screen
– Place the GamePad on the floor first, as shown in Wii U’s concept video back at E3 2011
– Ball is shown on the GamePad screen by your feet
– Fairway is on the TV screen
– Play like real golf
– If you face the Wiimote Plus toward the GamePad by your feet, the head of the club appears on screen
– If you twist the Wiimote Plus controller, the club head also turns
– Hit in that position and you can hit a fade and so forth
– Coming “soon”

Baseball

– Swing the Wiimote Plus like a bat
– Pitcher uses the GamePad
– Also similar to the Wii U concept video
– Look into the GamePad and choose a course and type of pitch

Boxing

“For Boxing, we’re considering a lot with regard to network compatibility and so on. I think you’ll have to wait a little longer for that.”

The Wii is on its way out, and the Wii U hasn’t performed up to Nintendo’s expectations. Given these two factors, MCV decided to ask Activision’s UK MD, Roy Stackhouse, about whether the publisher’s expectations for the game have been negatively impacted.

Not at all, Stackhouse said. In fact, he along with Activision as a whole “expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms.” Stackhouse also said the company still considers Nintendo to be “a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”

Stackhouse’s comments in full:

“Not at all. We still expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms. Just because the sales may have softened doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of consoles out there that children are still playing on. We still see Nintendo as a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”

Game Center CX 3 will provide players with plenty of new areas to explore. You’ll be able to visit an arcade, toy shop, mom-and-pop-candy store, model kit shop, and a department store roof.

Each one of these locales offers its own events and challenges. While clearing challenges and continuing on through the story, years will pass and the city experiences various changes. In one instance, your school bans its students from going to the arcade in the mid 80s. But in the late 80s, specialty game shops will begin to appear.
