Wii in Australia thread

[Sam_Harris]

Hmmm I think i can dig up an interview with ricky ponting cricket about the Wii give me a minute
Edit:Here it is

21 Oct 2006 - Sports games may be the new craze on Nintendo's Wii. Will Cricket join the collection?


As the official game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2007 will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PC when it launches in March 2007, and may possibly make an appearance on Nintendo's Wii.

The game's publisher, Codemasters, said on the matter, "Unfortunately we cannot confirm any plans, at the moment, to release Ricky Ponting Cricket 2007 on the Nintendo Wii." However, it added, "We do not rule out doing a Nintendo Wii version, but this will not be in the immediate future."


There's no doubt the title would be both incredibly well-suited to the Wii's motion capabilities and an Australian audience. Stay tuned for any further developments.

man, melbourne is the best! at our wii setup in myer, we had zelda TP the demo, you can eiter do fishing which is insane! i love fishing! or you can do a dungeon with a boss at the end. the boss is some flame guy and you shoot him in the head with and arrow and then drag his chained legs untill he falls then you massacre his face with the wiimote!! the setup also had wii play and the games on that were insane! pool and shooting gallery are the best. but i was dissapointed about the wiimote sensitivity, the guy said you can change it but he said that he did'nt no how to change the sensitivity so shooting arrows on TP was abit touchy and fast. but this is the best console ever! good luck ausies!
