Over at the official site for the Wii de Asobu (Play on Wii, or NEW PLAY CONTROL!) series, there’s a pair of Japanese commercials for the Mario Power Tennis remake, as well as a far lengthier gameplay trailer.
The adverts we can take or leave, consisting as they do of the usual telegenic Japanese families bouncing around their pristine living rooms. The gameplay clip is worth watching, as it displays the various shots that can be achieved through a well-timed flick of the wrist (top-spin, side-spin, slices, drop shots, etc.). We hope mixing up our shots actually has an effect on the game, because we always found Wii Sports tennis to be not-quite-as-advertised in this respect (though we’re willing to accept we just may be rubbish at Wii Sports tennis).
Oh yes, and these are non-embeddable, so you’ll have to go to the site to watch them. And they call this 2009!

We love a lot of GameCube games. In fact, when Play on Wii was announced, it felt like a dream come true. See, we imagine many GameCube games being retooled for Wii. Now, we’re glad its actually happening for some of those games.
But, not all titles are destined to get that touch of Wii magic. And, what if you never had a chance to try some of them? Well, unless you’ve got a suitcase buried in the back yard, there are a few titles that might be a bit out of reach, according to the list over at Video Game Price Charts.
Of all of them, which would you say is the “must own” title?

In the wake of Mega Man 9, and after Friday’s discussion about Play on Wii, we thought we might ask what other franchises you’d like to see redone, either as Play on Wii titles, or in a classic, old school style, as was done with Mega Man 9. Want to see the other Metroid Prime titles given a motion overhaul … or do you want to see a very small Samus putting the Metroid back into Metroidvania?
