Wii Play - Two-Player Billiards

This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Billiards mode of Wii Play for the Wii. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U). I'm player one and Drew is player two.

My old two-player footage of Wii Play was only posted in 30 fps, and since Drew and I enjoy this game so much, we decided to record some new multiplayer footage in 60 fps.

I had actually been interested in getting Wii Play since shortly after I got my Wii in early December 2006 because it looked like more of Wii Sports. However, I never got around to buying it until 2011, mostly because I made the mistake of listening reviewers who bashed the game. It's a shame I waited so long because the game is actually quite fun. It reminds me of a lot of the simple black box NES games I played as a kid.

Billiards is one of the better games in this title. It's an excellent pool game in its own right, but it's a variation of 9-ball. I would have preferred 8-ball, or at least the option for that mode, but it's still quite enjoyable.

On a control-related note, I don't release the B button as I'm thrusting the Wii Remote forward, despite what the game suggests. I find it works better if I just keep holding B.
