A few of these games look really cool. I've read that this will be cheap too.

Spex
And it will come packaged with a Wiimote. Buy this and you'll get the game and a Wiimote for around 40-50 bucks. Buy a nunchuk attachment for 20 and you've saved a nice bundle plus getting some fun new games.

quartzlcc
Yeah, some of these look pretty cool.

Unknown
Looks like you can use your Mii.

Ryan Geery
I heard this was going to be called "Wii Play". It seems like it should be bundled as well, or maybe available for download. I like the Mii concept, no matter what anyone says.

DarkVic
A good starter game.

Must..have..wii
Nice title. That's cool how it's packaged with the wiimote. Minigames still bug me on a system though.

Luke
This looks like a cool game! I like the fact that it will be using Mii.

Wii-Worshiper
Wow I thought that these games were just for E3, but now it is packed into one. Sweet!

elephant.stone
I'll be getting "Wii Play" (the name it is advertised under, over here in the UK) just for the extra Wiimote. And the pool, ping pong etc.

Epsilon
Looks like yet another game to keep an eye on. Sounds like it may be a Japan only title, though.

Scooby!_ Jew
Do I see air-hockey? I'm so getting this game.

Ekaj185
Comes with a Wiimote? I'll buy the game just for that.

stinky12694
Pretty damn cool.

wiingman
A bundled wiimote with this, it's a no-brainer to anyone. Air hockey, pool and ping pong alone sell this. Can't wait until January.

i went wii
Air-hockey? Which way did it go? Which way did it go?

u**noe** it
This game looks cool. I haven't seen it anywhere here in the USA though so I'm waiting for it.

Jax
I got the game today, and it is pretty good. It really gives a taste for the different techniques required with the Wii. It is also a good two player game, battling it out for who is the best at Wii.

Crimson Hawk
Awesome now I can pool on the Wii.

akatsuki
I've already got this game but my mum won't let me open it. It's under my xmas tree dammit! So is my Wii.

Captain Jamesman
I think Nintendo copied this name from the eyetoy games. But this does sound pretty cool!

LOZfan
This is just like Wii sports except it has minigames instead of sport games.

Crimson Hawk
You can play air hockey on the Wii too, even better.

Ja-Mez
I've played this game and Tanks is awesome. I got a silver medal with 62 Tanks dead! Yay.

Gonzo
I'm getting this because it comes with an extra wiimote and it's just like Wii sports.

SeAmNiNjA
My goal is to get my Wii before I get this game.

itstimetoplaydawii
I don't understand. I've heard this releases on Valentine's day.

Yoshi-1up
Yeah the game came out today. The game is not that great. It should have been "Wiimote with free Game"! I beat the whole thing in like 13 min. And the gameplay is very simple, maybe 4 year-olds will enjoy it. BUT! It's a must buy because of the Wiimote.

Luigi
Good game but not better than Wii Sports.

Nova
This game is just a corporate gimmick to try and help sell Wiimotes. As if they aren't selling enough.

Wii Freak
The box should really say Wii Controller with a bonus.

Noel
The duckhunt and laser hockey games are not hard but they are fun. The controls for pool are weird. Not worth the time I think. Regardless, I agree with it being a no brainer since the game ends up costing like 10 dollars.

Gamer guru
I got a 54 on pool!

Jskrdude
In my honest opinion I don't think this game is worth 10 bucks. The games are OK, but get old REALLY fast. Except the tank game, that's pretty fun. Still not quite worth 10 bucks though. For 10 bucks you can get a good gamecube game.

Luigi
I like this but Wii Sports is better.

dragdara
Tanks, best game ever.

just got a wii
This was my first game and it teaches the basics of the Wii remote. Also it comes with a remote and only $50. Some of the games are awesome, like pool and tanks.

desdemona
Can anyone tell me if this is better or Wii sports? I recently bought this and I'm wondering whether I should open it or return it.

Troy
Wii Sports is much better. Wii Play is ok, but Wii Sports is so fun.

Dude
Woke up on Christmas morning, went down to the living room and found a Wii, 2 wiimotes, 2 nunchucks, Wii sports and Wii Play. Wii Play is awesome gameplay, but too bad it is only 2 player. Not a very long lifespan but addicting. I like it, you should too. But I would only rent it. I liked the tanks game (just a question, anyone played battletanks on the N64? Awesome game! The tanks game in Wii Play reminds me of it).

wiichick
I can't get past level 6 in Wii play.

Sakura Angel
It's an okay game but Wii Sports is much better.

dudeman
The cow-tipping game rocks.
