We all know that it’s kind of hard to find a good game on the Wii. It’s not that they’re not out there, but with store shelves overflowing with third-party shovelware, the good ones are more difficult to discern. Dedicated gamers like you and me know better, of course, but what about parents? Grandparents? Those trying to get a good family game, or something to play at their next party? What about the people who just don’t know better? For those people, there’s Big League Sports.

The original Big League Sports came out last year to horrible reviews, and featured drills—not full games—from various sports. Despite low scores, the game apparently sold enough copies to warrant a sequel, which publisher Activision has cleverly titled Big League Sports: Summer. The game will feature “the most popular warm weather sports”, which I’m guessing means there will be some rousing games of staying inside with the air conditioner blasting, a bit of competitive ice cream devouring, and if we’re really lucky, my personal favorite, the lazy river float. Whew, I’m getting exhausted just thinking about it.

To be fair, I did not play the first Big League Sports (in fact, I only just heard of it), so I cannot say whether or not it’s as bad as the reviews claim. Also, the press release promised better controls and graphics, so perhaps the developers have learned from their mistakes and put more effort into their product this time around. Big League Sports: Summer will be out in June, so we’ll probably find out more about it shortly. You can check out the full press release below.
