This could just be the killer ap for many non-gamers.
Pity they are unlikely to replace the baseball for cricket though.

I am sure a cricket game will come along eventually

Check out the Michael Ancel video interviews at IGN, and you'll definitely be interested

Get 'Super Paper Mario' for Gamecube and use the Wii's 'Classic Controller' or a Cube One. It will probably have a 16:9 mode on the Wii. That should tide you over.

You know, that sounds like a really good idea.

It's funny, though. I kinda gave up on Nintendo and the Cube. The games looked pretty enough, but I didn't enjoy them and ended up giving the Cube and a load of games to my Sony-branded nephews. But now, with the DS and the Wii, Nintendo are back in my life with a vengeance...

New pics from DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 - Wii!

I really like the way this looks, the gameplay system, animation and the movement in the E3 vids looked great!

Very nice, hope it turns out good..

Bleach is also looking very nice, and in a similar way! Hope they nail the sword mechanics.

Hmmm...interesting...seperate versions for DS and DS Lite, then. And a two cartridge solution, to boot.

In other news, Nintendo Power has just revealed seven surefire launch games:

Nintendo:

The Legend of Zedla: Twilight Princess

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Wii Sports

Ubisoft:

Red Steel

Rayman Raving Rabbits

Sega:

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Square Enix:

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

All fanboy flag waving aside, is that not an incredible line-up? They say it's going to double at least, and possibly triple. Wow

With Dragon Quest, it'll own Japan. And as long as Ubisoft works the kinks out of Red Steel, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

What would make it a incredible line up then?

Zelda on lauch has done it for me.

I rather like the look of that browser implementation - the blurb says that it will of course be wireless (via hotspots, etc) but I wonder if it will be possible to use it with a mobile phone so that it can be utilised when on the move but NOT in range of a suitable hotspot or similar?
