Sega's 'Wacky World of Sports' for Wii includes Extreme Ironing

by JC Fletcher on Apr 29th 2009 9:00PM

Activision picked the wrong day to announce a Wii sports minigame collection, because Sega just outclassed it. Compare the list of sports in Activision's Big League Sports: Summer with Sega's new Wacky World of Sports:

Big League Sports: tennis, beach volleyball, golf, soccer, baseball and football.
Wacky World of Sports: furniture racing, card boxing, log cutting, Fierljeppen, mud sliding, tuna tossing, cheese rolling, extreme ironing, and two more.

One of the characters is also some kind of Naruto parody, but we don't know whether to mark that as a plus or minus. Wacky World of Sports will be out in the regular world in "late 2009."

Naruto is minus all the way.

Seriously, guys, you need to read the linked Wikipedia page on extreme ironing.

"Bungee ironing is, what some would call, the ultimate in the thrill of extreme ironing."

I haven't lolled so hard in days.

sad thing is mommies and daddies will buy this shit even though wii sports is the only sports minigame you need

You know video games have been around for a long time, (probably before you showed up) and the majority of those games have been marketed towards kids..

So games geared towards kids are nothing new.. guys who take themselves too seriously and call themselves hardcore gamers are..

... why?

So this is some kind of unholy trinity of Martha Stewart, Jackass and Wii mini-game compilation?

What is this I don't even

Pointless wii games ftw.......LOLOLOLO WHO am I KIDDING

OMG CHEESE ROLLING!

I'll wait until I can do Extreme Washing

at least it doesn't take itself seriously. i like games like that.

you should play House of the Dead: Overkill then

Finally played HotD:Overkill. Hilarious is the word i would use to describe it. It's like a classic and hilarious B-grade horror movie, in a gun-shooter. It really has to be experianced to understand properly.

Holy shit, this has to be developed in holland. Cheese rolling and fierljeppen are 2 very, very dutch things.

I thought cheese rolling was English? theres a village somewhere in England thats been doing it annually for a long time.

Freakin dangerous sport it is too... every year they get loads of broken legs and arms, plus i think there might have been a death or two...

Wow the visuals, the developers are really pushing the Expansion Pak on the N64...........

Mud sliding? All we need is Sonic as an unlockable character tp do what Sega's been doing for the last few years...drag him in mud.

Do they also have a minigame called "Jumping the Shark?"

how flippin wacky was that ehh??

Another well thought out, deep massive game that must have taken at LEAST 5 whole days to complete. Indeed the WSM is powerful and indeed the WFM is a part of this generation.

I'm selling my launch 60gb PS3 and I'm buying a WSM.

With neverending quality software like this....who needs Sony.

You're a sad, strange little man. You have my pity.

Whats sadder,

my sarcasm for all things Wee related or your defense of it to go along with bitching and moaning about my posts?

Balls in your court Reggies personal fluffer

I'm sorry, what? I was too busy playing MadWorld.

Whats sadder,

the fact Killjebus pretends to be an atheist in order to bring some attention to that dark void he calls a life, or the fact he feels that a piece of plastic warrants some sort of Crusade against it and all that it stands for?

Balls in your court Bevets devoted follower. May no one disagree with your lords will!

It's a sad combination of both, Moptimus. Unfortunately for us, it's not remotely clever or amusing either.

RAmen

Killjebus,
Whatever it is that you do is less sarcasm than straight-up stupid. No one else thinks you're funny. No one. Maybe el serpiente on his dumber days but that's about it.

That would make to much sense...the Jack Lelane Stepper for control and the waxon waxoff weemote for painting the town.

No, this is a much better game, mommies and grandmas and Fernandos will lap this megakayrap up.

Think of the massive budget this game must have....spare no expense Sega.

*sigh*

i want more games like warioware. if this can sorta help, that'd be great.

Well, um... Yeah.
I don't know what to say.

booooooyyyy howdy that IS wacky!! *facepalm* -_-

I'll wait for extreme: driving the kids to school, thanks.

Reminds me of Sega Soccer Slam for some reason. I think the Wii is the right place for Olympic-style competitions like this, but this game looks like it's trying too hard to be wild and crazy.

So basically, Wii owners get stuck with this crap while PS3 and 360 get MVC2? Yea im done with Nintendo as of today. Taking this piece of shit toy, selling it and getting me a PS3 later today. Bye bye Nintendo hopefully your next game system wont be built on cheap gimmicks and 5 year olds and their mothers.

So you were holding out, waiting for Apr 29th 2009. The day you hoped sega would revile a game so spectacular that it and it alone would validate your Wii purchase, and convince you to keep your Wii? The games already out for it, the already announced but not released games for it, or the obvious shit load of games that are going to be announced for it this E3 couldn't convince you to keep it? Your whole decision was resting on one Sega game? And now that this game didn't show, your rushing out and buying a PS3 this very day?

What the heck is a "Fernandos", Killjebus? You crazy preteens and your wacky slang, I can never keep up.

This is insulting to gamers...
