I have no shame in admitting I was standing in line at about 6am on launch day for the Nintendo Wii. Besides the console itself, I picked up a few other games with it, but the one game that my family and I played the most was the included Wii Sports. You really couldn’t get too much simpler as far as graphics and game play goes, but it was fun, and that was all that mattered.

Well my hopes of a sequel are slowly fading. Nintendo President, Saturo Iwata, gave an interview with a Japanese gaming blog recently, and said that Wii Sports 2 will not be making an appearance anytime soon, and maybe not at all. Iwata explained that creating a sequel with similar game play would not fit with their plans of expanding the gaming market.

While I am disappointed in this move, I do look forward to what new games are being developed that will go with their plans.
