Nintendo - Wii Cricket? - View Post

It appears that EA are contemplating bring a cricket game  to the Wii.

I've mentioned in a previous thread on the topic of Wii cricket, that balance board support is essential to account for body position, frontfoot/backfoot strokes etc, which are fundamental aspects of batting.

Obviously, motion plus support would be incredible. The enhanced accuracy would provide huge potential for spin bowling and 1:1 batting.

The game could also double as a useful tool to teach users orthodox methods of batting/bowling in a real life situation in the same way that Wii Fit is used to instruct users correct fitness techniques.

Clearly, the commercial potential of a cricket game is limited. Nonetheless, this has never stopped the development of cricket games before. I really hope EA carry through with this.
