Thrills abound in the new Mario Power Tennis video game, launching today. Up to four players can compete on a single screen as they show off thunderous backhands or return soaring lobs. From Mario to Bowser, each character has unique offensive and defensive Power Shots that turn a friendly game of tennis into mania on the court.
Tennis purists can play a standard game without fancy trick moves, a feature that also lets novices learn the basics before moving on to more advanced action. A series of mini-games and special modes let players hone their tennis skills while competing in a variety of crazy challenges.
After nearly 100 million Wii consoles sold worldwide, the new look Wii Mini launches across UK next month. The latest addition to this family of home consoles offers great gameplay at great value, putting the focus squarely on videogames with over 1,200 disc-based Wii titles to choose from.
This will just create more confusion between a Wii, Wii Mini and the Wii U...
I just don't see the point in this at all.
it's probably for budget gamers
dont know what's the difference to normal Wii though
but if it plays games like normal then i don't see a reason why someone would rather get original one then
well, i wouldn't get why anyone would even get a Wii at this point anymore to begin with...

However, while some of those games are a bit of a wait, this week has some solid entries.
Lollipop Chainsaw looks interesting, but not $60 interesting. Looking forward to reading reviews.
Another week of slim pickings, it seems.
Although I'm really happy to see Pikmin 2 come out for the Wii with updated controls. I know original GameCube copies are relatively expensive so this could potentially bring down the price of that although I find that unlikely. It will make the game much more readily available to gamers, so that's always a plus!
Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii to play it on. I think I'm just biding my time until I can get one for about $50 or so and then go crazy on cheap games.
