EA Playground, Wii Sports Elementary edition

Over the past few weeks Electronic Arts has been trickling details about EA Playground, a collection of motion controlled mini games for the Wii and Nintendo DS. You can play tetherball on the Wii and blow into the microphone to simulate spitball fights on the Nintendo DS. Other games announced in the collection include RC racing and specifically for the Nintendo DS bug catching. EA Playground might not have pro sports games like Wii Sports, but there is charm in reliving childhood games like dodgeball. This Wii Sports follow up along with Take Two’s Carnival Games should appeal to the casual “blue ocean” gamer Nintendo has been trying to capture.
