GDC 08: Big Beach Sports announced for the Wii

Wii News | Cricket comes to the Wii.

THQ's support for the Wii seems to have improved lately. First off was the announcement of Band Mashups for the Wii and now they've announced Big Beach Sports exclusively for the Wii.

Big Beach Sports will drop players into a seaside resort with a large range of outdoor sports. The full set of outdoors sports included in the game hasn't been finalised, but some of the currently confirmed sports include American football, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf and bocce.

"The innovative Wii Remote controller has revolutionized sports gaming, letting us involve the player like never before," said Steve Dauterman, senior vice president of product development, THQ. "Big Beach Sports applies the control scheme to each of the varied sports featured, letting players pick up and play the games they know and learn the ones they don't know."

I think this game has real potential, though THQ have to make sure they actually do it right..

Cricket, Bocce, American Football and others has the potential to really take some steam away from Wii Sports, which in my opinion is still the best and easiest multiplayer game for the Wii

I wonder what sort of visual look they'll go for?
