Seniors in Oceanside, CA to Game On with New Super Mario Bros. Wii

But you've seen all these mini-games before. There are better, more original incarnations elsewhere. There is a bowling game where the squeeballs are set atop pins, but the only innovation is that you can add spin to the ball. Unfortunately, the spin trick doesn't work well and is inconsistent. Remember Wii Sports , which you got free with your Wii three years ago? That bowling game is better than this one. Next, there is a game where squeeballs are a weird starting material for ...
