E3 was so jam packed with great games that it’s time for another edition of Upcoming Wii Games…

Wii Sports Resort
This is going to be everything we (or maybe just I) wanted from the original Wii Sports, and some stuff we didn’t really want. Jet Skiing looks like loads of fun, but too much work for me to consider as an actual game (I don’t like to work when I game). Frisbee throwing looks pretty lame, but… but I can’t think of a way to finish that sentence. Most of all I’m looking forward to fencing. I really wanted some kind of sword fighting in the original Wii Sports, and I’m very happy to see it in Wii Sports Resort.

Animal Crossing: City Folk
I’ve never played an Animal Crossing game before, but this looks pretty good, and after reading about it and such, I’m kicking myself for not getting in on the Animal Crossing craze earlier. Also this will be the first Wii game to feature WiiSpeak, the Wii’s very own voice chat feature. I’m shocked that Nintendo would release this, because they’ve been so obsessed with being family friendly, although I’m sure that this will only be allowed between your “Wii Friends” (which is the most ridiculous video game feature ever created).

Wii Music
This game was featured in the first Upcoming Wii Games post, and due to some strange delays it’s appearing again. Now we know more about it: you can conduct an orchestra, and play the drums using the Wii Balance Board as a pedals. Some songs are the Legend of Zelda Overworld Theme, and the Super Mario Bros. Theme.

Wario Land: Shake It
Hmmmm… Pros: Appears to be a sidescroller; a return to the classic series, Wario Land. Cons: Looks a bit too cutesie; I’m afraid that I could beat it in about a week.
