Nintendo surprises (at least me) this week with an original WiiWare title called You, Me, and the Cubes (1-2 players, 1,000 Wii Points). The physics-based puzzle/action game where players control Fallos, weird human-like creatures whose point of existence is to balance on a field of 3D cubes. Players “create a pair of Fallos inside” the Wii Remote by shaking it, and then determine the best location to place them on the field in an effort to keep them stable. The idea here is to keep the cubes balanced, which is probably trickier than it sounds.
The other WiiWare title available this day is Family Tennis (1-4 players, 500 Wii Points). This is a tennis game for four players (maybe your… family!?), and is far easier to explain than You, Me, and the Cubes. Here I go: It’s a tennis game for five bucks.
