Let's Tap, Sonic creator Naka's 'penguin' game, coming Dec. 2008
At last, Sega has finally revealed Let's Tap for Wii, Sonic creator Yuji Naka's game teased as, "World first, the game that even penguins can play." How exactly a penguin does play it is still not explicitly stated, although our marine biologist friends tell us that penguins are prone to waddle, so this inverted Wii remote laying on the ground may indicate that we will be, erm, tapping on our remote somehow.
As for the game itself, the available screenshots vary greatly and provide no basis for interpretation. There is a countdown on the official website that expires in seven days. What we do know, according to the info box in the lower right corner: the genre is "tap action," it supports one to four (to infinity) players and will release this December for 5,040 yen (approx. US $48).

Well, at least they wrapped the Wiimote with the glove before they tapped.

You think this game is revolutionary?
You should see Yuji Naka's other new title: Let's Catch (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/915/915519p1.html?RSSwhen2008-10-02_003800&RSSid=915519)
It is a game that, according to Naka, "will offer the simplicity of catch ball for between one and four players."
I can't wait!

There's a real lack of penguins in those screenshots.

Am I the only one who thought that was a tampon in the picture at first glance?

Naoto Ohshima made Sonic. Yuji Naka programmed.

Thank god, something different. I can't get that song out of my head. (lol) I love it!

Something different? How is what looks like a collection of really simple multiplayer mini-games different from 99% of other games on the Wii?
I used to like Naka too... ;-;

A chicken can play tic tac toe. Doesn't mean I want to.
