Wii Sports is creatively excellent

The educational charity D&AD loves Nintendo. Last year, they bestowed a Yellow Pencil award upon Nintendogs, and this year, Wii Sports is nominated for one of the awards, alongside Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training for the DS. The other nominees (soon to be known as the also-rans) are LocoRoco, Shadow of the Colossus, Buzz!: The Big Quiz, and CDX, an online game from the BBC.
D&AD's Yellow Pencil awards recognize "creative excellence." No wonder they're looking to Nintendo.

Um...Wii Sports isn't creative at all. It's half baked and falls short, if anything.
Yeah, it's fun to bring people together and introduce them to Wii.
But really...the Wii is the creative thing. It doesn't take much creativity to decide you should swing the Wii remote like a racket in tennis, or a bat in Baseball.
The award should go to the wii itself if anything.

@ Mr Khan
It's from a cropped widescreen shot. It's either the strikes or balls count.
