1 wii sports - i just want to hit a ball against a wall for a long time

Dear Readers,

I never played Wii Sports much. There was always so much for me to play on the Nintendo Wii that I never really needed the game, even though it was a big cultural phenomenon. 

I played it now though, because I'm going through a tough time and I had the fancy, the urge, the feeling that I wanted to hit a ball against a wall with a tennis racquet forever.

The tennis game seems like a good way to do this, but it's always framed like a game, with scores, prompts, game overs and menus.

You can do this training feature where you can return balls being endlessly served to you, but I kept hitting them out of bounds and getting game overs straight away. This was very annoying.

Eventually I sussed it was about the timing of hitting the ball, along with other aspects like swinging from left or right. I was able to get better scores then. I think my highest at the moment is 27.

There's another practice game where you try to hit targets. There's a wall and everything, but the wall crumbles when you miss the targets. It lasts for a while at least. Might play more later.
