I had a similar situation thanksgiving night, but it was with my brother(Christian) and his girlfriend(Lucy). Lucy was nervous about playing because she didn't know what she would have to do, and even though my brother wasn't so sure about it either, he had heard that Wii Sports contained boxing and wanted to play that immediately.
In the end they both had a blast playing the five games and spent around 2-3 hours playing until the turkey kicked in and made us all tired. Very fun times
My local Toys R Us(in Town East, Mesquite, TX, if you live there) has loads of copies of Electroplankton for sale(although I don't see it on the TRU website), and I *think* I remember seeing a display case on a rack at EB Games. Not sure what the pricing is, though.
Anywho, that device looks pretty sweet! Any idea how much it'll cost and when it'll be released(if it isn't yet?)
