Sports Kit Overview
Each part of the kit is all white and made of plastic, nothing real special about them. The main controller compartment has 3 extensions, one for golf, one for baseball and one for tennis. The baseball and golf extensions are pretty simple. The golf extension can be adjusted up and down.



The tennis extension is a little different from the other ones. It has a small battery compartment in the back for 2 AAA batteries, but they are not included. The batteries power the lights on the top of the racket.


The steering wheel is a lot like a real steering wheel, just smaller. The Wii remote sits in the center positioned horizontally.



Usage & Testing
Setting things up is pretty simple. Before you put your controller into the main controller compartment load up Wii Sports, I found that when I had the controller in the compartment it was hard to go through the menus, like the compartment was blocking the sensor.

Once you have things setup you can put your controller into the compartment. There is a slot open in the bottom of the compartment for the B button and another one for the wrist strap, because you don’t want to be swinging these things around and accidentally letting go and have them flying into your TV!



Using the extensions really makes playing the games more realistic, even though they are already very realistic. I also noticed that the extensions made me better at the games, especially tennis and baseball. When playing baseball it was like homeruns all the time. Although it was a pain to take the Wii remote out of the compartment to pitch. The tennis racket was probably my favorite accessory, it lights up whenever you move it around. Here is a video showing off that feature.
