So we've seen figure skating and curling, and after GameSpot's recent glut of screenshots, now there's Wiffle Ball for the DS. It's a veritable cavalcade of random sports, from the interesting to the not so much. But everyone's tastes are different, and we're not gonna be the ones to ask what's up with wiffle ball. We'll leave that to you guys.Today's questions stem from these forthcoming sport titles, and there are a few things we'd like to know. How do you feel about offbeat sports making an appearance on the DS? The five people who knew how curling was played expressed interest, but can wiffle ball spark the same reaction? What other sports might you enjoy seeing turned into a portable game?
1. I personally think wiffle ball would be cool to play. I'm actually pretty sick of playing all of the big-time sports, like football/basketball/baseball/hockey, on various game platforms. Give some others a try. How about box-ball or stoop-ball? Maybe some stickball? How about drinking games, like quarters? Am I the only one who really enjoyed the old game California Games with all of its quirky alternative sports? Or how about Highlander Games (I think that's what it was called - you played a bunch of Scottish games like caber toss)? I enjoyed the change of pace those games provided and would like to see more of that stuff generally, not just on the DS. But the DS seems like a good place to start with the stylus allowing for a different way of controlling the game.
