I really liked tennis in Wii Sports, and I still do in this game, but not as much. The Exclamation Mark hit really throws me off when I hit it late, but that was I how played in WS. Now it's a lot harder to score (for me). Also, you need to hit the ball with a backhand, which can be frustrating at times when you hit forehand, but it's showing how to play in real life. Hitting the ball is pretty accurate, and it could be fun playing multiplayer.
"Motion Controls are the future... (Sarcasm)
I liked bowling in the first 2 Wii Sports games, and this bowling didn't disappoint me, either. This was fun the first time I played it in WSC, keeping my same technique from Wii Sports Resort, and I got a decent score. Motion control here is consistent, game goes fast, and the graphics are solid (nothing fancy and nothing dull).
I played this game the least out of the 5 games on here (WS and WSC), but it's fun to play as long as you don't get tired holding a Wiimote (nickname) and a nunchuck for a long time. This game is fun to play for the first time, because you just want to knock out your opponent ASAP, but it's all about counterattacks. By dodging, then looking for the opening, you should win games. The motion control is OK, because at times I thrust the controller 8 times, and it may only my opponent 4 times. One other thing I would recommend is the background. I wish I saw my miis in the crowd, not random miis. But the graphics are decent, and the hitting and dodging movement works good.
The usage of AA and AAA batteries often varies, but you are more likely to find that devices which consume a lot of power, use AA batteries. Battery operated toys and Wii Remotes are examples of high consumption devices. These devices also use more than one AA cell to raise the voltage.. AAA batteries are often found on low power or portable devices, so they don’t consume too much power. Clocks and TV remote controllers are good examples of devices that use AA batteries.
Bart's fourth grade class is merged with another fourth grade class when teacher Mrs. Krabappel is absent. In the crowded classroom, Bart is forced to sit by a new student named Nikki. At first they dislike each other, until Nikki admires Bart's artistic skills. Bart seeks romance advice from Homer, who passes him off to Grandpa Abe. 
Bart stops breathing again, but the school's "no touch" policy prevents anyone from performing CPR. Nikki defies the policy and revives Bart via mouth-to-mouth, which sets off a montage of kiss scenes from various movies. When Bart awakes, Nikki's mood changes yet again and Bart remains in a state of complete confusion over female behavior. He tells her he does not care what happens between her and him, but then changes his mind and yells out "I love you!" after she kisses him once again.
Throughout the episode, Nelson befriends a blind boy and teaches him how to laugh at the misfortunes of others. At the end, the blind boy tricks Nelson into believing his punch got after insulting Nelson restored his sight. He reveals to Nelson that this was a prank and laughs Nelson's "haw haw". Nelson is impressed as he is touched by the achievement.
Storyline: This episode was really cool. It's great to see Bart getting a girl who didn't have problems. The main plot was definitely the stronger of the two, and Sarah Silverman's Nikki was an interesting character. I don't mind the "stop apologizing!" situation and dealing with such a bipolar individual, even if it was exaggerated in a cartoonish manner. Grandpa was one of the highlights of this episode, being necessary to further the plot by giving Bart the advice to just kiss Nikki, and his thought static bubble gag was a positive in this episode. Nikki with her negative reaction was great. 
The Montages: There were 3 of them, but I only liked one of them, and it was when Bart and Nikki skateboard together. Great music in the montage. As for the other two, they were very long. The Itchy and Scratchy movie lasted 90-100 seconds, and the kiss montage was excessive. Time-wasting.
As Bart continues to manipulates them against each other, Marge seeks council from Selma and Patty, who convince her to prompting Marge to relent and leave to apologize, while Homer realizes from a dream that he also wants to sorrow over this as well. The two see each other at a traffic stop, and they both get out of their cars and embrace. They choose to let Bart fend for himself. 
Meanwhile, Bart and Milhouse run away from Skinner from a prank and hide in an abandoned Springfield Subway System, and they discover the subway trains still work. They race down the tracks and cause a seismic tremor to shake the town. Bart tells Homer and Marge that he might have something to do with the rumbling, but they do not react to his potential act. Bart tells Nelson that he no longer feels a thrill when he plays a prank, and Nelson suggests Bart does not get gratification from pranks unless someone gets outraged. 
Bart plans to destroy Springfield Elementary by driving the train under it. Homer and Marge find a note from Lisa informing them of this prank. They rush to the subway station, where Homer pulls the emergency kill switch in time and does not damage the school. Bart gets punished for his actions but is happy that his parents are paying attention to him once more. At the end, Lisa reveals that Bart forged the note about the subway prank, suggesting that he wanted to be caught but promising to keep it secret to protect his bad boy reputation.
Jokewise, Homer getting rid of Pikachu on TV was hilarious. Edna's line of "I don't really know what that was", after watching a parody of the Jetsons, was funny. The Itchy and Scratchy Show was the highlight of the jokes. However, there were some awkward gags like Wiggum hugging Homer and Marge, and some lowlights such as Homer yelling at Lisa.
Lisa and Marge discover a cookbook at the local library, and in it is an anecdote that tells how Eliza and Virgil were not captured by disguising at a traveling circus. They make it back to the Simpson household, but Eliza's father Hiram is suspicious of Virgil. Virgil makes him 'wheel cakes' and Hiram swears to keep Virgil's location a secret.
At home, Grandpa Simpson tells how Mabel threatened to castrate Colonel Burns with a shotgun blast and then escaped with Virgil to Canada. She divorced Hiram and married Virgil. Grampa reveals that Virgil and Mabel's son Abraham was his great-grandfather. Lisa is happy that one of her ancestors was a hero.
Storyline: I do not like past stories of any kind that much, but this was an exception. This episode had great character usage from all of the Simpsons, but retained the focus on Lisa. Homer was funny for the most part. The past story was actually good. It did a good job keeping me guessing what was going on and what was going to happen. The animation during the chase sequence was very good too. I would have liked a little more personality in the character of Virgil.
There were some pretty good gags, like the Barack Obama kids warming up, Willie and the fishing hole, and the cookbook gags. My favorite ones were Ralph's report with Elmo and Toy Story and Lisa's software program update. Again, the gags were pretty good with the past story too, especially when Krusty was trying to hide Virgil.
A Fizz Keeper is a device that preserves the carbonation in soft drinks. It's a small hand pump that screws onto the top of a plastic soft drink bottle, which is used to pump air into the bottle. Pressurizing the bottle in this way, it is claimed that it prevents the drink from going flat. I've seen this being used once at a friend's birthday party, and the soda did taste good (but really, no new soda for a party? Lol.). This does not always work though, and by the way, it costs anywhere from $5-$20.
The Simpsons arrive in Vancouver, and Agnes insists that Homer be cut from the team. Marge insists that she should stay, but she injures her right shoulder while sweeping to in the semifinals win. She is told that she will never curl again and that the American team must forfeit the gold-medal match to Sweden.
Meanwhile, at the trials in Springfield, Lisa gets Olympic mascot pin. Lisa puts it on her shirt and buys another, but her interest goes out of control. When she goes to Vancouver, Lisa's pin collection grows, and when she runs out of money, she trades her pearl necklace to a vendor in exchange for 1924 pin from France.
