THQ oils up Big Beach Sports
Casual-friendly minigame compilation exclusively for the Wii to hit the sand this summer; includes football, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf, and bocce.
THQ has made a major push onto Nintendo's hot-commodity console the Wii in recent weeks. Two Thursdays ago, the publisher debuted its combative music rhythm game Band Mashups, where players arm themselves with sniper violins and flame-throwing guitars to best their opponents and change up the music style. Last Thursday, THQ continued to attack the underbelly of the Wii with the creepy-crawler action game Deadly Creatures.
Today, THQ said it would be adding yet another title exclusively to the Wii's library with Big Beach Sports. Slated for a global release in summer 2008, Big Beach Sports plans to bring fun in the sun indoors with a variety of sand-friendly physical minigames.
Aiming squarely at the casual Wii-gaming crowd, Big Beach Sports will include football, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf, and bocce. Unsurprisingly, the game will look to take full effect of the Wii's motion-sensing controls. Further details on the title have not yet been revealed.
