Jimmy Fallon takes on Tiger Woods this Thursday night

June 25th, 2009 by David Hinkle

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon host, uh, Jimmy Fallon, laid down the gauntlet for one golf legend Tiger Woods recently, challenging him in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 on Wii. Kotaku reports that Tiger has accepted and will play Fallon on his late-night show this Thursday.

We take special interest in this because we’ve always had a dream of challenging Bill Laimbeer in his stellar SNES basketball romp, Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball, so you can bet we’ll be cheering Fallon on all the way.

EA not waiting on Nintendo, will release MotionPlus-compat games on time

February 27th, 2009 by David Hinkle

EA is determined to release its new crop of sports game, whether or not Nintendo has released the Wii MotionPlus peripheral or not. As you may recall, EA revealed the next Tiger Woods game would feature MotionPlus support, as well as a new tennis game the company is developing, and both will ship to retail on June 16, 2009. EA Sports’ PR chief, David Tinson, said that both games “will be compatible, but not dependent, on WMP. They will ship with the functionality, regardless of when WMP comes to market.”

The peripheral is a tie-in with Wii Sports Resort, a game that was woefully absent from Nintendo’s big release list yesterday. Will MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort be on store shelves by June 16? Nintendo has yet to comment on an exact release for the Wii Sports successor, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as we hear.
