Endless Ocean on Wii Looks Interesting
Nintendo's forthcoming Wii title Endless Ocean is compelling to me for one reason: it might be something I can play with my 3-year-old daughter.
Finding video games suitable for toddlers is nearly impossible, yet it would seem to be a natural market for the Wii with its simple and innovative controllers. Why not make a cheap game that just does funky things with sounds, lights, and pictures as you wave the remote around? Heck, that's a stock display at science museums, yet there's nothing like that for consoles. Odd, no?
Update: It looks like Electronic Arts has anticipated my wants and announced EA Playground. It looks like it might be great for young kids, but how a toddler might react to it is as yet unknown.

I smell a business plan, Craig! Go for it!

Ha! Thanks, Rachel. It could be, honestly...I'm sure "Baby Einstein" came from a similar paucity of products.
