I saw an ad during Trisha this morning! It just said Wii in big letters with a ping, and then showed the remote. A voice says 'what's this?' and a hand picks it up. Then it says 'it's a Wii', and gives the release date. A little odd, but all very white and silver and stylish.

And that IGN reviewer is an idiot, giving low marks for the graphics because they're not next-gen enough...if he's going to follow that system then no Wii game will ever get a good mark for graphics. I think the graphics in Wii Sports deserve far more than a 4/10 to be honest, they're not crap, it's just a style, and one that works well in my opinion.

I didn't like Wii Sports, I completely sucked at it. All you could here when I was playing baseball was 'STRIKE!' or 'FOULBALL!'.

Have a couple more images for you all...

(Sorry the second one's a bit fuzzy, try holding a camera still at 12x zoom whilst being bustled by foodies!)

Nor I. I hope Ninty do a range of Wii [whatever] Sports games.

I think he means the one where you held the wii mote and simulated an airplane and flew through hoops, it was one of the most talked about and demo'd ideas when the Wii was first shown.

Yeah, PumaG...that's the one I was talking about. The early demos looked amazing but all I've been able to find out about a release for it is some far-off release of a package called Wii Motor Sports and no mention of what any of the other games in the package may be,

Oh yes, I remember that now. It is listed on Amazon UK:

I wonder when Wii Music will be out, and what will it contain besides conducting?

There's gotta be some two-wiimote drum kit action in there

Oh yes, and a rudimentary trombone of sorts. I imagine four people can choose an instrument and jam along too.

Oh yes, I remember that too! Surprising how much you forget isn't it, until something reminds you of it (in this case, some game footage).
