Inescapable thought after a Tomb Sweeping Holiday weekend spent playing with a friend's borrowed console...
Why oh why is there is there no cricket game for the Nintendo Wii yet? It's criminal. This is a machine almost specifically designed for cricket gaming. (After all, most of us have been playing Wii Cricket with broom handles and fireplace pokers while no one's looking for years.)
And yes, I know the movement detector technology is nowhere near ideal, the avatars in the game will probably look like limbless blobs hopping awkwardly between wickets and you'll probably end up mastering the game in a week by playing a bunch of utterly unrealistic one-handed flicks of the wrist in the wrong direction... but can't we just get over ourselves and enjoy shit for a little while?
Tell them, Louis...
I totally agree. A Wii cricket game would be awesome - if it were good enough I would gladly go out and buy a Wii to play it.
The problem I guess is that nobody in the US, Japan, or most of Europe knows what cricket is, which is also why most cricket games have been bad.
