WiiBowling, WiiTennis, we ready?

“Its replacement could be WiiSports, a pentathlon of tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and boxing,” wrote Lorne Chan of the San Antonio Express-News. “There’s plenty of skill involved with perfecting the tennis power serve or getting the right spin on a bowling ball.

“There would also be the added joy of seeing a 9-year-old win the gold medal.”
