The games Wii'd like to see

Five titles just itching for a home on Nintendo's next-gen console.
Comprising a fully motion-sensitive "Wii-mote" and an almost-as-smart "nunchuck" attachment, the Nintendo Wii's controller is a truly groundbreaking device, and we've seen the unveiling of a few imaginative games so far. But it just isn't enough for us, so T3 decided to change all that. We sat down with some big bits of paper and a few crayons, then let the creative juices gush forth to bring you our definitive wishlist for the Wii. Game on!

Mario Darts
Emulate "athletes" such Eric Bristow and Phil "The Power" Taylor by guzzling twenty pints of Tetleys then hurling sharpened objects at the wall. Except you won't be doing the last bit - you'll be aiming at your telly instead.
Marvel as Mario shouts your scores in a high-pitched Italian accent ("Wan-a hundred and eightiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!") but take care not to chuck the precious Wii wand through your screen - darts will instead be released by tapping the controller's button at the correct moment.

Super Tokyo Juggling Rush
You'll need a trio of Wii-motes for this one. Playing as a Tokyo cop working undercover in a circus, you must convince mobs of Yakuza gangsters of your entertainer credentials by engaging in greater and greater feats of juggling prowess.
As you toss the Wii wands in the air, you'll see your on-screen avatar do exactly the same. Make a mistake and watch on helplessly as the cop is cut down in a hail of gunfire.

Gladiators
Gladiators! Are you ready? In the official game of the classic early '90s game show, you'll come face-to-face with some of the ugliest, most musclebound foes around - and that's just the women!
Swing the Wii wand like a pugil-stick or use it in conjunction with the nunchuck to "Hang Tough" by swinging from ring to ring. Features the likenesses of Wolf, Hunter, Jet and Lightning, plus a voiceover from elbow-happy presenter John Fashanu. Awooga awooga!

Bar-room Brawl 2007
Take on wave after wave of sweaty rednecks in a succession of beer-sodden dive bars. Swing the Wii-mote and batter assailants with a pool cue or broken bottle. If you're in a real bind, employ the nunchuck for that barstool hurling action!
Add more controllers for up to four participants - can you and your mates make it out of the Smilin' Shitkicker Truck Stop with all your teeth intact?

Ghostbusters
Show that you "ain't afraid of no ghost" by accompanying Peter Venkman and co on a series of spook-trapping missions.
The Wii-mote works as both a spectre-sensing PKE meter (vibrating and bleeping when a ghost approaches) and a proton pack. Wave the wand to direct a stream of positively-charged energy at ghouls, directing them into the path of a trap which is then triggered by the nunchuck's button.
Unlike the others, we reckon this is actually quite a good idea - bustin' makes us feel good!
