      Improbable candidates for the Nintendo Wii

      I kind of missed the fact that this thread is in "sports". It would be stretching it to call knitting a sport, I guess.

      Anyway, I think curling might translate well. The basic action would be just like Wii bowling, and I reckon the sweeping might be quite a good workout. Plus, hilarious during post-pub sessions.

        Yeah, I think curling would be awesome. Release the stone basically like you do in bowling (you can get the spin and everything), then you have the sweepers. There are some winter sports games for the Wii--I wonder if any of them have curling. I'd much rather do that then skiing.

          Curling on the Wii

          Figure skating as a post-pub activity sounds interesting.

            A devastating review (particularly of the curling element).

            We say this because the curling game is quite simply broken. You can perform the same precise stone-throwing motion 10 times, and 10 different releases (or nonreleases) will happen on screen. What's more, you can't even see a close-up of the house (target) when you're setting up a shot. You have to figure out your throwing and sweeping strategy from all the way down the lane, which is no small task given the terrible visuals of the game. Even a diehard curling fan able to tell you the winner of the 1983 Tournament of Hearts wouldn't enjoy this shell of a simulation.

                I'd go for Wii Curling like a shot if it included a virtual Lyudmila Privivkova.

                  Steady on. This is a family board.
