I'm very skeptical.

"On Wii, there's a mix of games that cover frantic actions mapped to gestures (e.g. throwing and dodging in Dodge Ball)"
EA said:I personally think that multiplayer parties are the ideal way to play EA Playground. Whether you do four-player local parties on the Wii or wireless sessions on the DS, you'll find that all games are multiplayer supported and that frantic simultaneous play is the order of the day.

Wii Sports aims at everyone, this one is specifically aimed at children. Major difference, imo.Kintaro said:Why the long faces? Wii Sports is the best selling game for the system, makes sense to rip it.

From the interview it does seem squarely aimed at kids. Which makes the price an even bigger problem when Wii Sports is free (outside Japan) and Wii Play is virtually free.Bearillusion said:Not really for me but my kids would probably love it. The trouble is that this will probably be released at full price ($99 AU) which is unacceptable.

*Looks at Wii, looks at Wii Sports, realizes it came with the Wii
Huh?
heh.Deepblue said:Does anyone else think it's ironic that Wii Sports et all. will actually drive Kids AWAY from the playground as they find they can play on the playground without leaving the couch?
Haunted One said:heh.
To answer this seriously, I really hope it won't. Playing videogames (regardless if it's Wii, DDR, Eyetoy etc.) should never replace proper exercise/outdoor activities for children.
Swinging the wiimote in Wii Tennis shouldn't replace swinging a real tennis racquet, it should replace pressing one button to simulate swinging a racquet (if anything).
Not for children to play those when they could go outside and do the real sport instead, that's for sure. (at least that was the point I was trying to make. )Deepblue said:So why do we have sports games again?
