I think it'll be more like an expansion pack, not sure how it'd work, but It'd be great to play the games from the first Wii Sports online.

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere already that up to 30 Sports games would be released eventually? Or is my memory just really fuzzy...

If this is true, my wife is going to scream. Wii Sports is by far her favorite game ever! I just may never get to finish Zelda at this rate Smilie

Don't hate, congratulate!

Wouldn't surprise me one little bit, they probably had more sports in development before the first was even finished. I'd be annoyed if just the new lot was online, though.

The 30 game thing does sound familiar.

Wii Sports is fucking brilliant so i am all up for it, but wasn't Wii Motor Sports and Wii Music complication already confirmed maybe it is one of them.

I hope if there is an online mode we get upgrades of all the current Sports games.

I'm waiting on Wii Extreme Sports with planes, snowboarding etc.

If they did include online with Wii Sports 2, then I suppose it would justify selling it as a budget title.

I think playing the old Wii-sports online is not going to work unless they release it again with Online-support.

I am not turned off by this thought. It would be great to play tennis against others online. Nintendo can just release a big sports package with the old 5 in it to play against each other via dsl. That would be nice.

So I certainly wouldn't be thrilled to have another Sports game - but with more different sports, please (I'm still to dumb to understand Baseball, though...).

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Baseball is useless you just have to whack the ball.
But i would buy a wii sports2
I just wish it came free with my wii due next year when the price comes down

So they didn't really say anything about Wii Sports 2.

Where's Wii Music? And Wii Motorsports?

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Not surprising though, were you really expecting them to say anything useful about a rumour other than the usual "we appeal to core and new gamers"?
Also the "might just be the most popular...", yes, and Barbie's horse adventure might just be the most captivating and thrilling game ever created.

JoshSL 22.12.2006#12

Yeah, I was also wondering what happened to Wii Music & Wii Airplane... Smilie

I was hinting at why the hell did Raz bother updating this?

yay wii sports... tho is it just me, or would the game lose a bit of it's charm if it was played against players online? I mean, you can't see them, can't chat with them or anything... You won't have as fun as you would with a player sitting next to you, or a player you could communicate with in some way.

V.good point mate when you play Wii Sports by yourself it just ain't the same but it is always good to have the option

Who says we won't be able to chat with them with a sexy Wii Bluetooth headset?? Or using the DS mic and a DS Camera wirelessly connected to Wii?? Ding-dang-do.

Less posty, more gamey.
