Anyone know if this is going to have a "classic" gameplay setting where you can play with the duos from the original?
That would be pretty cool. It seems like the details on the game are still pretty sparse.
If anything, I expect the game to include a slew of special hidden characters, just like the original. It was always amazing to play with the duo of Bill Clinton & Al Gore.

I imagine an Obama/Biden team is inevitable.
I'm really digging the bobblehead-style graphics. ;)
NFL Blitz and this were my faves back in the day. I hope they do it for NFL Blitz too. Is this a Wii exclusive?
Sounds like it is... at least for right now...
I got to play a few games last night and well it's AWESOME!!!

They announced a political theme for the special characters. Old man Cheney will be strange to see in a jersey with his old bald head.
Oh man I want this. Reminding my of road trips in my parents suburban with the built in tv and sega.

Were you playing Multiplayer? I've heard it's best as a 4 player game and not as much fun single player against computer opponents.
Still itching to get it but waiting until party time to have people over. ;)
Yes playing 1v1, only got to play maybe six matches but it was a blast!
I think you can play with the nunchuck also, and there are all sorts of tricks and stuff with the motion in the wiimote that I couldn't get a grasp on in my limited time.
Yeah, I watched a review video awhile back. Sounds like you whip the nunchuck up to go for a dunk and whip it back down to slam. Sounds like a lot of fun with four people trash talking each other in the same room. ;)
My only complaints are the controls:
-the nunchuck controller mode forces you too make all the silly movement Wii developers seem to think people like to do on a regular basis.
-Game-cube controllers do not work like they do in other similar games that dont need motion (mario power tennis)
-If you want you can use the wii "classic" controller, but who owns 4 of those?
When I've played it with friends, you can remove the nunchuck and hold the wiimote sideways. 1&2 are pass/shoot and swipe/jump. turbo is a little tricky because it's the 'B' button which is the trigger thing, but you can get used to it.
Also, it is very grating to hear the announcer say "Palin" over and over again so I recommend not playing as or against her.

They did do blitz: the league which I thought was better, when you tackled someone it zoomed in like a x-ray to show what part you broke it was sweet. I wonder if they were able to get jordan in it this time, last time they couldn't get the rights for him.
Has anyone seen if the game comes with the option to play the original version?
