The Japanese site Mixi, which is a Japan-only site similar to myspace or facebook allows its users to post reviews on products like DVDs, CDs, and video games. Intrigued, I decided to look over some user reviews of “Hajimete no Wii,” the game + wiimote bundle that will be known as “Wii Play” if it is released in the US. 27 users have reviewed the product so far with a resulting score of 4.11 points out of five. Most of the reviews were indeed very positive and tendend to highlight the game’s value, which is only about ten dollars more than the attached wiimote in the first place, and the top pick mini-games appear to be hockey, billiards, and shooting. Negative comments were either about how the shooting game was not a port of duck hunt (which was apparently expected), or focused on the demo/tutorial-like qualities of the mini-games.

I'm in Australia, and I have a copy of Wii Play.I got it simply because it was only $10 Aussie more than just getting another Wiimote.The Laser Hockey is my favourite game, closely followed by the billiards and the Tank games.Laser Hockey alone is worth the small extra cost though, so the other games are just bonuses!
Wii play will be released in North America (can't stand people saying the US all the time) sometime in January.
You can't beat racing two knitted cows, collect jumping scare-crows. Classic Nintendo madness!
