Wallball makes me wish they had a raquetball game.

This looks fun, definitely a game I would play with friends.

This game looks surprisingly decent. The graphics are not good enough to be the sole selling point, but look way better than the other low-budget party games the Wii has been getting so far. It also seems like there's a lot to do, which is great because the low amount of games was my biggest complaint with Wii Sports.

And even the gameplay looks like they've gotten over the "we have to use every single feature of the wiimote in every single game just because they're there" design paradigm, although this last point might just be wishful thinking. =P

I've very little interest in this game myself, but I imagine the tens of thousands of people who buy Wii Play every week will be more than interested. Hopefully EA will be smart and set the price low enough.

Yeah, I actually have no interest in buying this game (too many other great games to even think about this one) but I do admit it's look a lot better and actually looks fun compared to the stuff I was hearing about 4-6 months ago. I might give it a rent if I get really bored one day and I'll play it with a friend if they have, otherwise, I probably won't touch it.

I'm mainly just happy that they put effort into this game and it looks like it may actually turn out to be decent (7+) and not turn into a Boogie.

It's EA, nuff said.

Here's something I was wondering the other day: If the Wii is such a "casual gamer" console, why the hell aren't some of these 3rd party developers advertising their casual ventures during primetime TV shows? The only gaming commercials I see are "hardcore gamer" games during late night TV (except for Brain Age, but that's a first party thing, not 3rd).

If you advertise a game like this heavily, it will sell well. All the Wii owners who are tired of Wii Sports would buy this game if they knew about it or could see it in action.

Just my thoughts.

Are you talking about the one with the ball on the stick? That would be teather ball.

They showed 7 mini-games whereas Wii Sports has 20 and lets you use personalized Mii characters. The graphics look just above Wii Sports level. If Wii Sports was a tech demo, so is this. I'll rent it before I pass further judgment but the game seems to be pretty weak and designed to appeal to elementary schoolers.

 If you're referring to my soccer/volleyball question I wasn't talking about tetherball.  ACtually watch the video and you'll know what I was talking about.

 Wait since when does Wii Sports have 20 mini-games?

 Last time I played there were 5.

Looks good, could be a hit if its advertised to the masses
