Cricket + Wii = Gold.

Unlikely, but a girl can dream, right?

Seriously, it needs to be done. That is if people aren't stupid enough to let go of the remote while bowling.

Want to see a newspaper headline about Brett Lee killing someone by throwing a Wii-mote into their head? Cricket game on the Nintendo Wii. Discuss, forumites!

Wii is the perfect console for cricket, i would be tempted to buy one if a good quality cricket game came out on it.

Barney Rubble · 21-12-2006, 09:04 AM

Sounds like a great prospect, hopefully it's in the pipeline.

It can't be worse than ten pin bowling.

The Wii is perfect for a cricket game, I really hope they do develop one.

Stumped · 23-12-2006, 01:28 AM

I can imagine some stupid noggin bowling the Wii controller, and yet this makes the idea of cricket on Wii a good one.

nightprowler10 · 23-12-2006, 12:59 PM

I'd buy a Wii system without hesitation if some one come out with a decent cricket game for it.

chris.hinton · 31-12-2006, 12:10 PM

i would too

azzaz · 08-01-2007, 02:05 PM

They should definatley make a cricket game for teh same, it would be pretty easy ti implement jus press a btton for forward/back shots or it mitr even b able to sense it. Madden NFL works so well on it and it's such an addictive game, I'm sure a cricket game would be equally sucessful.

Being a proud owner of a Wii, and a cricket fanatic, I'd love to see such a game come out too.

And when your sides bowling, you could choose to be bowling or fielding (i.e. different movements whilst holding Wii remote will result in fielding the ball - i.e. field as wicketkeeper - crouching whilst holding the wii remote, you could move to the direction of the ball approaching you and catch it.

Yeah, I'm dreaming

just wait for those virtual memory helmet thingos

As the author of the Cricket game on the Mac, I am already on the lookout for a Mac version of Wii. To me this is the natural evolution of the game and puts back a lot of the missing dimension. If anyone knows of a Mac-compatible device I would really like to know.

Dydl · 29-01-2007, 03:03 PM

Don't know about any Mac-compatible devices, can't help you there.

www.**************.com has just put up a teaser trailer, quite good actually.

They haven't developed a site yet, but it's in the making.
