Gamasutra Considers Wii Sports the most important game of 2006

Gamasutra decided to take a look back on this year’s games and tell us which ones they considered the best, or at least the most influential for future generations. If you look at their article, you will see a lot of surprises, but what might seem the most impressive thing is that Nintendo dominated the top two spots with Zelda and Wii Sports for second and first place respectively.

My mother, who hung up her gaming gloves for good after beating Super Mario Bros. 3 within a month of its release (love you, Mom), swearing to never play a video game again, practically snagged the Wii remote from me last Thanksgiving, after watching me bowl in Wii Sports.

No one who has played Wii Sports can deny it. It is probably one of the funnest, if not the most fun, game you’ll ever play.
