SEGA’s Wacky World Of Sports Looks Really Entertaining
I actually never thought this day would come, and I’m as surprised as anybody else should be, that it in fact has. I’m actually excited for a gimmicky family-friendly goofy Wii game. But that’s because this is no ordinary gimmicky family-friendly goofy Wii game, this is SEGA’s Wacky World Of Sports. Wacky World Of Sports isn’t your typical wacky sports game, as all the crazy events you’ll compete in are based upon actual ‘sports’ played around the globe.
These sports include: cheese wheel rolling, tuna fish tossing, timber sports, furniture racing, and extreme ironing. Extreme ironing?! What the hell is that, and when can I play?
This sounds like the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of, despite the Wii’s gimmicky motion controls and horrifically bad ‘next-gen’ graphics. I legitimately cannot wait to play this, while I’m not expecting brilliance from SEGA, Wacky World Of Sports may actually be enough for me to dust off my unused Wii and hook that sucker back up. I’m all in for some competitive cheese wheel rolling!
Also announced today, and I only thought it was interesting considering I can’t believe the game finally has a release date, was Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell Conviction to be released by Christmas. That’s right, the long awaited new Splinter Cell game that’s been pumped up for years now is finally going to see the light of day, and given the that the definition of stealth gameplay has been changing within the series, I can’t wait to play this one.
I don’t know about this one. Cheese rollin and fish throwing sounds awesome, but I almost fell asleep watching it in that video. I’m as surprised by this one as you are, but not nearly as excited. Hope you end up being right, though!
