Yes folks, a follow-up (not a sequel mind you) to the amazing Wii Sports is coming in less than a weeks time and the Ganger is plenty erect. Last week I spoke on how Wii Sports intuitively replicates real-life movements via the Wiimote. Games like Bowling and Golf must be played like their real-life counterparts or success is highly unlikely. Mrs. Ganger illustrated this perfectly yesterday when she would lazily flick her wrist and end up in the gutter. But when she concentrated and followed through with her swing she increased her score dramatically.
So what the hell is Wii Play and why should we give a damn? Well, think of it more like a collection of mini-games (like Wario Ware but far less manic) that try to use the Wiimote in a unique way. For example, in Shooting players use the Wiimote much like a rifle and try to hit a variety of targets, such as balloons, UFOs and ducks (yes, they look just like those from Duck Hunt). The game also includes variations of Billiards, Ping Pong and Fishing among others.
I don't expect it to top the longevity of Wii Sports, but it should offer a fun diversion for casual get-togethers. At the very least it comes with a Wiimote, which will come in handy for two player Tennis matches in Wii Sports. If you don't have a second remote lying around, then buying Wii Play is like getting a full game for free (or closer to $10 since a remote costs $40 by itself). Check it out: Nintendo's Wii Play page. On a side note, if you're into the ADHD manic mini-game thing, then I would highly recommend Wario Ware Smooth Moves for Wii. It's about as sugar-coated as they come. Diabetes included.
