Family Glide Hockey whooshing to US WiiWare [update]
We love air hockey, and we're pretty friendly with Family Table Tennis, so we're pleased to see that Aksys has chosen to release the second Family sports title for WiiWare, Okiraku Air Hockey, in North America as Family Glide Hockey.
Family Glide Hockey adds several twists to the delightful arcade attraction including ridiculous locations, weird tables, special shots, and extra minigames like Glide Hockey Drill, in which you ... solve math problems?
As for when it's coming out, Aksys says "this holiday," and even if they had specified a release date, we wouldn't be able to trust it, because Nintendo doesn't seem to want people to know when downloadable games come out.

Not for nothin, but I was at the Wii games display at Target yesterday (hadn't visited the video game section in a few weeks because I'm broke right now and didn't want the temptation), and I was taken aback by how the VAST majority of new Wii stuff looks JUST. LIKE. THIS.
Say what you will, but this crap is shovelware. And the fact that this site (which I love by the way) has to report on shovelware is a perfect indication at the sad state the Wii is currently in. Sure the new "No More Heroes" is coming out and there are a few other gems I'm waiting for, but it just doesn't compare to the 5-10 new games I'm dying to play on my 360.
Sorry if that was harsh, but I calls it likes I sees it.
