So far there is no official news from Nintendo or EA on such a title but the Wii controller would make a brilliant bat. As for the bowling it would be nice to mix in the directional control of Wii Bowling with the subtle variations capable within Wii Baseball. Plus it would just be nice to be able to draw those really bad diagrams on the screen like the commentators do right now...<br /></p> <p>It is the Cricket World Cup this year so there maybe a title out <a href="http://www.pro-g.co.uk/pc/ea_sports_cricket_07/screenshots-1.html">sooner rather than later</a>. To help with the process a group of Australian fans are putting together a <a href="http://wiiwantcricket.com/">WiiWantCricket website</a> just to illustrate to Nintendo and EA how much support there is for such a title.<!--break--></p> </div> <ul class="field-taxonomy-vocabulary-1"> <li> <a href="/tech/wii">wii</a> </li> </ul> Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:16:40 +0000 David 391 at https://www.stress-free.co.nz https://www.stress-free.co.nz/the_wii_forecast_channel_looks_amazing <div class="field-body"> <p>Weather has to be the most boring thing in the world, (it's not like you can do anything about it) but Nintendo has blended conventional weather channel functionality with Google Earth graphics to create something pretty special.
