Hi Charles, Yeah, the Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort games aren't fully accessible. They can be played alone, with a lot of practice, but you'll never get the kind of feedback like how many pins are standing or read the stats of a specific game. For things like that it is pretty essential to have sighted help on hand. That's why I've never taken to the Wii myself. I'd rather have a PS III or XBox so I can play Street Fighter or Marvel vs Capcom. At least there I can have fun beating the tar out of someone or something. :D
