85-Year-Old Logs 2,850 Perfect Wii Bowling Games

by Keith Sadler, posted on 24 January 2011 / 4,443 Views

John Bates from Onalaska, Wisconsin has recently recorded 2,850 perfect games in the bowling part of Wii Sports Resort. John played from April 2009 through October 2010 to make it into Guinness World Records 2011 Gamer's Edition. The retired high school principal first started bowling on his Nintendo Wii at a friend's house at the end of 2008 and, since he is ambidextrous, plays with both his left and right hands. He's also a member in a local bowling league.

It won't get him into the PBA tour, but still impressive. Every bowled a perfect game on your Wii?

I've bowled a fair few games in Sports and Resort, but I can't lay claim to ever doing a perfect game. Nearly three thousand of them seems inhuman. Must be a means of meditation for him.

Kinect may have snatched not obese teen males, but Wii still owns girls' and old geezers' souls!!! :-D

I'm seriously trying to lose faith into VGchartz.... I remember that time when I was waiting for SSBB and I posted here almost 5-6 times a day. But now the site has changed esthetically and also it's .... content.... Which dissapoints me both. Like seriously who makes all those articles? Comon, find more interesting stuff.

3 steps to the right, aim slighty at a left angle and tilt wiimote to right as you swing....strike every single time. There isn't much more to it once you realise that. Doesn't seem to be any randomness factor and the window for getting it right is pretty large.
