Winter Olympics Video Games [Wii Curling and More]
Loving the Winter Olympics? Think you can’t participate? For shame! You can be an Olympic athlete in the comfort of your living room.
OK, you can PRETEND to be an Olympic athlete. But it’s the Wii, so you can sort of get up and move around. A little bit. There are non-Wii games as well for those of you who don’t like to move AT ALL.
- Winter Blast: Snow and Ice Games (Wii, $19.99)
- Deca Sports (Wii, $19.99) — this is the game that has Wii Curling. Yes. Wii Curling. Here is video proof. Warning: the first one might not be 100% safe for work, since it features a guy playing Wii Curling, making a frenetic movement with his hands near his crotch area, and shouting “HARD!” Then again, that’s what they shout during real-life Curling. The second video is just game play stuff.
- Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii, $39.99; DS, $33.99) — this title has been advertised heavily on NBC during the 2010 Vancouver games, which is smart, because now I suddenly want it. Although even my wife has said that we may need to buy Deca Sports just to try out Wii Curling. How the heck does it even work? So the best marketing is to make a game based on a weird Olympic event.
Shaun White won Gold, but he was already the king of the snowboarding video game. Available for all platforms, and Wii players can get a Snowboard for the Wii Fit Balance Board.
- Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip (Wii, $14.94), Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage (Wii, $36.78), Skateboard / Snowboard for the Wii Fit Balance Board (Wii, $29.99)
- Shaun White Snowboarding (XBox 360, $19.99; also available for PS3, PS2, PSP, and DS)
