WiiWantCricket wants you to want Cricket

While we are happy that WiiWantCricket is calling for the creation of a Cricket game for the Wii, we are infinitely glad that they are NOT calling for the creation of a Brockian Ultra-Cricket. We feel that the inherent violence in Douglas Adams’ fictional sport (“Hitchhiker” fans, you know this!) might increase the number of wiimote related accidents.

Admittedly though, Brockian Ultra-Cricket is slightly more action packed than regular Cricket (which in turn, while slower, makes a lot more sense).

Anyhoo, the WiiWantCricket movement started out on a thread on the Aussie-Nintendo.com forums. A forum member going by the name of CronoLink posted that he’s managed to get in contact with Electronic Arts way back in December 2006, and he was able to suggest to them a Cricket game for the Wii. Here’s EA’s response:

I totally agree with your suggestions. With the Wii just coming out less then a month ago, has opened up many possibility’s as to what we can do with games, and what games we can bring back. I thank you for your time and suggestions.

Of course to get anything done, what the movement needs is support. If you’d rather not try Brockian Ultra-Cricket for fear of your own safety, and you want to see a Cricket game for the Wii, you can join the regular Cricketer sentiment and visit WiiWantCricket’s site.
