It can make even the most rudimentary action fun.

I'm STILL waiting for someone to make a "coffee break" fly swatting game for the Wii.

When I first saw the title I thought it was a topic about reasons why the Wii is great.I am pleasantly surprised it wasn't about that.

I like the idea of these Let's games.Trying out different ways of doing things with the controls.
Let's Tap will likely overshadow Let's catch but both of them will be enjoyable.

Actually, let me add Let's Tap to my list of 2009 Games I'd be interested in pre-ordering...

Yeah, from the second I heard of this game's concept, i was hooked. It's doesn't hurt that the music is sooo wonderfully catchy as well.

For some reason I read that URL as "Let Scatch" and I was trying to figure out what odd Japanese thing it would be this time.

I can't read any Japanese on that site, but if this game is cheap and utilizes Wii Speak, it'd be a pretty bad ass way to have a conversation.

No doubt. I downloaded it onto my media player and it's been played 50+ times. Crazy catchy.

I wonder if Sega is testing the waters. As dumb as Sega is, they must have seen the success of the "Touch" brand and wanted to do something similar. The "Let's" brand could prove to be a powerful moniker.

Do you have a child? Are you the world's laziest father?

Well I would have to agree the music in Let's Tap is catchy.I sometimes open the Let's Tap thread just to listen to the music.

Let's Catch will be pretty fun.

with wiimotion plus this might be fun, but not something worth paying for. As a mini game in Wario Ware or Wiisports resort, not as a full featured game.

I guess Japan this might work since they don't have open fields of land to toss the ball with somebody. In America who doesn't have a football or baseball to toss around, and a backyard or field or something.

There's a game you can play if you click the far right tab. It's pretty neat, but really easy.

Kairon · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2009, 01:11:30 AM »

This is only supposed to cost 500 Wii Points right? I'd sooo get this.

You know... catch IS a weird little childhood pleasure that I haven't indulged in in a long while. Actually, my throwing motion right now is horrible, in real life I've degenerated into letting my arm cross my body when throwing so that throwing a baseball is horrible... it goes 20 degrees to the left of where I'm looking... what's happened to me since Little League? T_T

You are out of practice Kai.You don't do something for a while it takes a while to get back to where you were at your peak.

Oh i get that. I was on my High School Varsity swim team. But 7 years later my parents can almost outswim me when we go to the fitness club... T_T

Well isn't that enough incentive to get back in the pool.

It's incentive to stay home when they go out and just post on NWR instead.

Unless I am mistaken "Let's Tap" and "Let's Catch" are not part of the same series. The only similarity is the publisher (Sega) and the word "Let's".

Again, I might be mistaken.

Stogi · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:07:33 AM »

Does not compute.

This is just like the "Wii___" or "Touch Generation" games. They are a series in that they focus on the same thing.

Kairon · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:27:12 AM »

If it's not part of the same series, it's definitely part of the same branding... or is that the same thing?

Pale · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2009, 11:41:29 AM »

What does being able to have a conversation ONLINE while playing catch ONLINE have to do with laziness? =P

Why not just use Wii Speak Channel then?

Pale · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2009, 01:14:11 PM »

Because you can't do anything to stay active? /sigh. I was trying to say it'd be a cool way to recreate the casual conversations that happen during a nice game of catch over a long distance. =P

Kairon · « **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2009, 01:15:01 PM »

I get what you're saying Pale. I mean, it makes tons of sense... but it's also sort of creepy ain't it?

Pale · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2009, 01:16:38 PM »

It doesn't have to be creepy. I imagine a father away on business would seriously love doing this (and talking) with his 8 year old son.

I think that if it's cheap and has Wii Speak, it's a nice little idea.

Anyone else think of the episode in "Friends"?

You can share pictures and spam people with voice/picture mail on people's Wiis.

Sega is listing the price of Let's Catch at 1000 Wii Points.
