As you probably know, Wii Sports is a big hit on Nintendo’s new system. Part of this may be due to it being packed in with every sale, but also because the controls are intuitive and the games are simple but fun.
Coming to the U.S. in mid-January, Nintendo is poised to release another set of similar games with Wii Play. Packaged with an additional controller, this title is meant to get multiple people involved in experiencing the Wii with games such as a shooting gallery (think Duck Hunt), table tennis, and a revamped version of air hockey. Take a look at the clip below to get a feel for that last one. Right now it seems that simple-yet-fun games are the easiest way to get the Wii into non-gamers homes while things like Zelda are there to interest the hardcore.

I hope the other Wii Play games are better than this, looks pretty lame to me so far, especially compared to the great Wii Sports stuff. Appears that it’s either hard to control or has some lag with the motion-sensing, judging by the way the players’ cursors are missing the puck quite often. And I’m no graphics whore, but would it hurt them to at least put a little effort into putting some personality into the visuals like they did with Wii Sports. Looks like a generic Flash game or something lol.
