Wii Play was mainly bought for the remote though.
I once thought back in 2006, Nintendo was slowly drowning. Yes i made the same mistake has anybody did at the time. mainly when i saw Killzone trailer for Ps3. We are today, and Nintendo for the first time in videogame history is back at the top. Remember, Atari, Commodore, Sega they were good, but they never got twice the chance to be first. Really impressive.
