Aussies demand a Wii cricket game!

Aussies demand a Wii cricket game! Nintendo asked, and these Aussie’s have answered the call! And they want their cricket!

Now I love the niche sports. Despite living in the US, my favorite sports are soccer and curling. Really. Course I only get to watch curling every 4 years and I pay for a special channel just to watch soccer. But as much as I try, again and again I’m completely and utterly confused by cricket.

Which sucks to high heaven cause I’d love to just start talking cricket to someone that has no idea what I’m talking about. And be able to say things like, "and then he got himself stuck in somewhat of a sticky wicket!" with a straight face. Where the hell was I??? Oh yea, Wii Cricket.

So these guys are trying to get a Wii cricket game made, and I know just enough about the sport to say the Wii is well suited to it.

Just so you know, there’s been quite a few cricket games released outside the states before. Hit the jump to check out the teaser video for their site.
