Penguins Really Can Play Prope’s Wii Game

By Spencer . October 3, 2008 . 2:20pm

Prope and Sega’s Wii project has a inventive control scheme where you don’t even need to hold the Wii remote. Let’s Tap is played with the remote on a flat surface like a table and players tapping on the object. Now we get the penguin joke. Penguins can’t hold the remote, but they can slap their wings on a table to race, knock blocks, and paint.

I guess Let’s Tap works because hitting the table produces gentle vibrations which the motion sensitive remote picks up. Even though Let’s Tap appears to be another collection of mini-games this is a very creative first effort from Prope.

Makes casual gaming look even more causal. Wii Blink next? I was kind of hoping the creator of Sonic would be working on a cool new fast paced platformer. Oh well.

I'm pretty sure it uses the wiimote speaker as a mic...

I like it. It's something different and fresh. I'm going to buy this game when it gets released.

I think this is something the Wii can use! It makes the motion control interesting, and it looks believable to have fun BECAUSE of the controls.

I'll follow this one and most likely buy it.

This looks brilliant.

The visuals are perfect, the music sounds VERY catchy, and if this is not a hit... I'll feel bad for Naka. I'm getting some Chu Chu Rocket vibes with this, but I think this game looks far more appealing.
