The Europe scene sure is ahead of the game huh? Not even out until Friday.

From my thread:

Many broken fingers will come from this game. This game has had some amazingly good reviews, most of which say its perfect..even Edge Magazine says its great and that is one of those magazines that seem to be harder on games than other sources. The game is this, you put your Wiimote on the table and you tap a lot. The premise sounds stupid to me...but then so did Peggle.

Blazing new ground in Nintendo Wii control design and created by Prope, the studio that Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka established in 2006, Let's Tap utilizes a groundbreaking control scheme where the Wii controller is placed on a box or flat surface so that the controller can detect minute vibrations. Players of all ages and skill levels then tap the box or flat surface to interact with the game; there's no need to hold the controller.
* Features five separate game modes with multiple levels and allowing up to four players for multiplayer action
* In Tap Runner players use differing finger tapping pressure to make simple stick figure racers run through an obstacle course.
* In Visualizer players are allowed to create dazzling fireworks effects, dramatic paint strokes, amongst other effect as they tap out different rhythm patterns that correspond to different effects.
* Silent Blocks finds players taking turns removing blocks from a large stack, tapping too hard will result in a collapsing stack of blocks.
* Bubble Voyager allows players to fly through space, blasting obstacles and enemies in order to reach the far stretches of the universe.
* Rhythm Tap allows players to time the taps of their fingers to high energy music.
A lot of people will not play this based on the trailer below or just the premise to this but like Tetris, most Popcap games & more recently Boom Blox, I reckon that this'll be one of those games you may find it hard to put down.

Probably USB Loader GX? Seems to be the only way to play most new games (unless you have a chip). Also you won't have to burn and loading is quicker.

Won't know until I get the game. My thoughts are purely guesswork.

I played the Japanese release of this, couldn't read a word of it [then]. Might have to try this now. The racing or sprinting game was a blast.

 

[Zenith94]

arg i can't find it! god damn private sites.

 

[kedest]

Really never heard of this before. But the concept does look very interesting.
How does it work exactly? You can put down the remote on any surface and just tap?

Real small game, The Japanese version was around that size so I assume it's right

This Looks Like A Good Game, I Will Have To Try This One Out

I Know But Please Do Not Type Like This, It Is Very Annoying.

 

[Snave2008]
