Forums - Nintendo - If EA released NHL10 on Wii...

If like GST or Tiger NHL 10 launched first, or alongside the PS360 versions, and included WM+ im sure it would be competitive.

To say that a hockey game wouldn't be as successful as a golf game is kinda naive.

Except for the fact that golf games have been outselling hockey games for a while.

Tiger Woods Golf succeeded on the Wii so much for two reasons (imo):

1. One of the first games to take advantage of WM+

2. The style of the game fits the Wiimote perfectly. It's basically all swinging, which you can now reinact perfectly with the Wiimote and WM+. There are so many components to hockey - skating, passing/shooting, hiting/checking, diving/blocking, etc.  - that doesn't mean it can't work, but that it definitely won't be able to capture the sport 100% like it can with golf.
