A friend of ours just alerted us to some great family friendly fun for the Nintendo Wii in the hockey category. NHL Slapshot is a new game for the entire family that features Wayne Gretzky and additional controllers that look like shinny hockey (or knee hockey or mini hockey) sticks.
Here are some highlights from the NHL Slapshot official site:
It’s in Your Hands—Deke, check, and shoot with the all-new NHL SLAPSHOT Hockey Stick game accessory, included with NHL SLAPSHOT. Simply plug the Wii Remote and Nunchuk into the hockey stick and take over any game like a true NHL All-Star.
Play from Peewee to the Pros—In Peewee to Pros Mode, start your hockey career as a Peewee on the neighborhood rink playing 3 on 3, and work your way through Bantam and Junior leagues, to 5 on 5 in the NHL. Level up your skills and attributes as you learn hockey fundamentals during your journey to the Pros.
Be the Next Great One—Play as NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. Wear jersey #99 and take to the ice as the Great One in Peewee to Pros mode, or in Play Now mode at any level. Gretzky also provides game day tips and coaching advice when playing a career of your own.
