Revisional Differences

This is a sub-page of Wii Sports.

Wii Sports had a re-release about a year later, with some changes being made for later pressings after the Wii Remote began coming packaged with a silicone sleeve. These changes are also present in the Nintendo Selects edition of the game. There are three versions, Rev 1.0, Rev 1.1, and Rev 1.2 (the latter a part of the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle). Depending on which release you have, file paths may change. /Stage/*.*/ directories are /Common/*.*/ in Rev 1.0.

Wii Remote Sleeves#

The warning screens and all other graphics of the Wii Remote were updated to reflect the silicone jacket's release. A wrist strap was also added to graphics showing the Wii Remote in profile.

Title Screen Sound#

The initial North American (Rev 0) release did not play a Wii Remote sound upon pressing A + B on the title screen. This sound was added to the North American (Rev 1) re-release, and all (Rev 0 and Rev 1) European releases.

Baseball#

The European and Japanese (Rev 0 and Rev 1) releases, as well as the North American (Rev 1) re-release, added an animation to the game-opening scene: as it begins, the opposing teams face one another, and the camera passes between them. As the camera passes each Mii, they look toward the screen, giving the cutscene some personality. This may have been added to make clearer who is on the teams, since all, but the pitcher, are randomly selected.

In the initial (Rev 0) North American release, if a grounder were caught quick enough to call an out, the Mii who caught it would hold it. In all future releases, the Mii will also throw the ball first to appear more realistic.

Boxing#

In the initial (Rev 0) North American release, after knocking out an opponent, the game would instantly go to the You Won/Lost sequence afterward. In all future releases (including the Rev 0 European and Japanese releases), two replays are shown of the winner's Mii knocking out the opponent, going into slow-motion at the end of each replay. These replays also play a music track that didn't appear in the initial North American version. Also when an opponent gets knocked out, the camera zooms out from the player in Rev 0 while in Rev 1 the camera pans upwards.

Rev 0	Rev 1

Disconnected Wii Remote Glitch#

If the player disconnects their Wii Remote during a golf shot, and reconnects it before the shot has concluded, they will be able to input a second shot, allowing them to navigate out of bounds. The glitch behaviour is slightly different between the Rev 0 and Rev 1 versions; on the Rev 0 version, the 30 second out of bounds timer will not run during a disconnected shot, whilst on the Rev 1 version, it will run. This means that, on the Rev 1 version, if you reconnect after waiting out the timer, the game will assume you are out of bounds.

Lag spikes#

In Rev 1, some Boxing training minigames may have lag spikes if punches are quick enough in succession. These lag spikes weren't present in Rev 0.
