Wii and EA Sports

I am a big Nintendo Wii fan. Ever since I played Wii for the first time, I knew it was going to be a huge success. Hence, I put my money where my mouth was, and bought Nintendo stock, NTDOY, at $32.50. Now the stock almost doubled, $63 as of Friday.

I even posted on this blog about how Wii was changing the rules. See my March 18th posting. "Wii brought the entertainment back to gaming. PS and XBOX went for more computing power, better graphics, Nintendo went for more fun."

In the same posting I also mentioned that the biggest challenge for Wii was the ability for Game developers to come up with creative games. Here is my suggestion to EA sports:

Invent the leg brace where the player can put the WiiMote (for those non Wii savvy out there:WiiMote is the Wii Remote controller), and then play soccer by kicking and running in the middle of living room. FIFA is one of the most popular EA Sports games, bring it to the Wii.

Konami is bringing PES 2008 to the Wii in Q1 2008. Not many hints about the controls in the latest press release though:

Scheduled for a Q1 launch, the Wii version of PES will offer the same level of realism that has established the series as the definitive football title, but has been undergone a radical rethink to make the most of the Wii's motion-sensitive control system. The game will make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, offering total control over every aspect of the players and their movements both on and off the ball. The clever use of the Wii controllers will allow users to send players running into space, and to distribute the ball with ease.

I'm not a big fan of the FIFA series and I can't wait for the PS3 HD version of PES 2008 coming at the end of October. The demo might hit the Playstation store on Thursday this week. If it does, I know where I'll be whole weekend. :)
