I’ve not downloaded and tried it yet, but the video makes it look darn good. Almost certainly the best from-your-couch web browsing experience available, anyway. Go to the Wii Shop channel and then Wii Ware to get yours. Visit site »
I’m a bit surprised to see Nintendo play this so straight. I figured they’d do it in typical cutsey fashion, with your Mii acting as the talking head or something.
